Button moon

I came across button moon last night on amazon prime and watched some with my 10 year old daughter. I loved that when I was little in the 80s. Dd really liked it too but kept on pointing out the men in that back (clearly visible) moving the puppets, wonder how that escaped me as a child 🤔. And then the spaceship for Mr spoon to go to button moon is actually a tin of heinz beans, tin of pink salmon and a funnel 🤣 brilliant!! Im going to watch some more tonight.

Anyone know of any other 80s cartoons available to bring back memories and laugh at things we didnt notice back then?.

🤣🤣🤣. Bet your mum wanted to hide that video 😆 🤣

Luckily for her she's actually deaf so it was no problem for her😂 she never wore hearing aids so she never had to hear all the annoying stuff 😂

Does anyone remember a character / show called Bod? I think it would’ve been in the 80s.
Any time I’ve asked anyone, no one remembers it, I’m beginning to think I dreamt it!

edited to add: I’ve just googled it and can see it was real, but the picture in my head of a yellow triangle man isn’t quite right, but I can see why I thought it 😁

We found Jimbo and the Jet Set and The Family Ness online the other day... 6 year old DD was bemused!

Haven't considered introducing her to Mysterious Cities of Gold and Ulysses 31 yet!

Omg!!! The familyyyy nessssss.

Penny crayon!! 😆 🤣

The Adventure Game used to terrify me, when they got zapped in the Vortex!

Oh I loved that. And them waiting at the lamppost for a ride home (on a train?). My DM loved it as she could cook dinner then in peace.

Was that the weird monkey thing?

chunkyBoo · 02/02/2026 16:27

I loved
the Flumps
chorlton and the wheelies

bagpuss
banana bunch
Dangermouse
Inspector Gadget
Jamie and the magic torch
flintstones
I’m sure there are others

Devilsmommy · 02/02/2026 16:28

Super ted and banana man. And the one nobody ever seems to know is Kissyfur

Upstartled · 02/02/2026 16:28

I think Jamie and the Magic Torch must have come on either before or just after Button Moon? I seem to remember them together. I don't remember much about it but I could sing you the intro music word for word.

Flannelfeet · 02/02/2026 16:29

Now im singing jimbooo, jimbooo, jimboooooo 😆 🤣

Yes. About same time as the Flumps, the Munch Bunch(who had yoghurts branded with them) and Mr Benn

ErlingHaalandsManBun · 02/02/2026 16:29

Of course I loved that😁

Flannelfeet · 02/02/2026 16:18

Have you been watching it too? 😆 🤣. Loved raggydolls too. My favourite was back to front and sad sack.

Nope, not been watching it. Just my current ear worm. Which is a pleasant change from the last week!

Jamie and the magic torch was psychedelic I swear half the animators were off their faces on some illegal substances when creating these!

Can you see the people in the background?! I never noticed them!!!

I might have to have a look on YouTube now and shatter all of my childhood memories

Flannelfeet · 02/02/2026 16:31

I really should of put this on later on. This is not getting the dinner made. 😲🤣

What’s the programme with Hartley Hare? That was a bit spooky.

And how about the public information films about dangerous pylons or lakes?

I don’t remember Bod but wondered if you meant Pob - he might be the monkey guy you are thinking of @Devilsmommy?
