To really miss those early Sunday evening children's BBC serials we used to watch.

[Retropear]

Such as The Phoenix and the Carpet etc.

We'd all watch them together with toast round the fire.

Wonder why they don't do them now.

We have the Box of Delights dvd to watch over Christmas. Excited/scared

Lizzie Dripping

Even Worzle Gummidge would do.

Loved the Victorian ones.We had tea and marmite crumpets too.Loved the cosy feeling and being allowed to eat in the lounge.

Off to look on Amazon.

Yes I liked these two. The last one I remember watching was the Snow Spider. But I think I missed the ending.

Can't believe no one's mentioned Flambards.

That was my absolutely favourite - I fancied the pants off Will.

absolute

Pfffff. Sorry.

Heidi

They did Fungus the Bogeyman about 8 years ago. They should do something else.

Oh yes, I loved Sunday evenings as a child.
And being allowed to watch Tales of the Unexpected although it scared the pants off me.

Oh yes Heidi and The Secret Garden

Couldn't see any of them on Amazon.

I remember the music from Tales of the Unexpcted.

Was the Lone Ranger with Tonto and the white horse "Hey Ho Silver"?
Bells ringing vaguely in my rusty memories. We saw it in black and white TV.
Flipper too was in the 60s.

The Franchise Affair
The Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris
there was another good one about a family that moved to an old house and the girl found a music box that triggered off hauntings of a kind old lady...can't remember what it was called...the something house mystery

We had a whole Sunday routine, me and brother had baths and got into our pyjamas while mum and dad sorted out food. Which was always a buffet including the leftover cold meat from the earlier roast and loads of salad and crisps, and the cheese board. Then we'd all settle down to watch whatever was being shown. Very fond memories.

Would love to do that with DS once he's older.

Clifton House Mystery

I can highly recommend Yonder land if you haven't seen it yet. ds loved it. Horrible histories crew.

I remember the borrowers and something I cannot name, different story every week, very mythical and fantasy based. I'm sure there was a narrator too.

Murder we did that with bread and dripping covered in salt on bread too.

Kungfu, you are thinking of The Storyteller with John Hurt...lovley series

Was The Magician's House a Sunday night thing too? That was brilliant!

Oh god I forgot the most obvious one! The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe!

Loved these series! I wish the BBC would bring them back.

oh yes, the cronical of narnia ones in the run up to Christmas, it normally started about this time, so it was before you started opening your advent calander, but you knew Christmas was on it's way!

can we start a campaign to get the beeb to bring it back?

YANBU

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was fabulous.

I miss them too. My favourite was the return of the Antelope, they filmed some of it near us and a few friends were extras in it.

Tripods!
