@Middlemarch123 crystaltips had the maddest hair
Loved wacky races.

@MyFavouritePlace good shout about Robinson Crusoe theme tune.

I know, I kinda have her swirly hair but much shorter, I’m always straightening it, and say, ‘Oh shiit, I look like Crystaltips” to my DD, they’re like”what’s she on about “😂

OMG had forgotten all about that. I thought his sister was so cool 😂

Oh yes! I loved The Monkees! And how could I have forgotten about Dick Dastardly and Penelope Pitstop?! 😂😂

And Mutley, “Gimme a medal”. Love this thread.

The Double Deckers! Thanks for reminding me about that one. I used to watch it every week!
