What were your TV favourites when you were growing up?

[Cerbonny]

Feeling nostalgic I decided to write a list of my favourite TV programmes from my childhood. I'm sure I've missed loads of the ones I used to watch. But here's what I remember, in case anyone's interested. 😊

In no particular order.

Champion the Wonder Horse
Flipper
Casey Jones
Daktari
Blue Peter
Crackerjack
Vision On
Ask the Family
Top of the Pops
Top of the Form
Jukebox Jury
Robinson Crusoe
The Flashing Blade
The White Horses
Belle and Sébastien
Follyfoot
The Little House on the Prairie
Top Cat
Scooby Doo

I've never seen the Brady Bunch, or Vegas.

I used to watch The Waltons though, but only when I was babysitting for the next-door neighbours on Monday evenings. Couldn't watch it at home because it clashed with Panorama and my dad always wanted to watch that! I used to try to get the kids in bed so I could watch it in peace! 😂

I've just remembered another one! The Banana Splits. Anyone else remember that?

Anyone remember “Elephants Eggs in a Rhubarb Tree?” I think it was a nonsense verse show, like Jackanory, and I think the lovely Richard Beckinsdale used to read them. Vague memory of it, but it went ‘Hee hee hee, Elaphants eggs in a rhubarb tree”, it was so good.

Loved the opening credits.
Those buggys they drove were ace I really wanted one not to be obviously.

I was-and sadly am- a big Starsky and Hutch fan!

The Champions… Alexandra Bastedo was a goddess and I dreamt of looking like her .

plus Stuart Damon was a heartthrob. 🧡

Oh yes! Classic.

You’re the only person I’ve met who knows about Daktari! My first crush was one of his assistants-can’t remeber his name, but the actor was called Hari Rhodes.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (all-time favourite)
The League of Gentleman
Blackadder
Dr Who
The OC
Friends
Melrose Place
Little Britain

Mine are identical to yours but I also liked The Brady Bunch.

Loved Little House on the Prairie.

I also remember Heidi or perhaps it was the book.

Were you born around 1966?

Did Daktari have a cross eyed lion called Cedric? I so loved him.

Kizzy
Mary Mungo and Midge
Bod
Chigley

And as I was getting older and taking an interest in adult TV, All Creatures Great and Small, The Onedin Line, Poldark, Blake's 7 and Secret Army.

Clarence, not Cedric, a cross eyed lion called Clarence😃

Yes. Silly but fun.

No, I'm a bit older than that! Born in 1958. Omg, I'm old 😱 😂

Yes, I think he was actually mentioned in the credits!

Crackerjack!

How did I miss this! It’s Friday, it’s five to five….

Oh, and The Gentle Touch, Juliet Bravo, and Widows

I found a video of the opening credits. This takes me back 55 years in an instant!

Take a look at this video, 'Daktari opening credits' https://share.google/x4xwU7ArGEDxlxaRX

And Dixon of Dock Green, remember my parents watched it, “Evening All”, think it was on Saturday tea time.

Big deal ?

Was a bit older for the last five.

Oh I’ve just fallen in love with Clarence again, reconciliation after 55 years. He was so lush.

Just remembered another crush: Alias Smith and Jones, both of them.

Tarzan anyone? I loved this. I'd forgotten about the very melodramatic opening credits! 😂 😂

Tried to post a link but had to edit it out as it wouldn't work.

Nobody mentioned The Man from UNCLE? And The Girl from UNCLE?
The Avengers with Honor Blackman, then Diana Rigg, before it got silly.(sillier).
Children of the Stones, that was creepy.
