Oh champion the wonder horse - still remember the song. Mr Ed. White Horses and Noggin the Nog.

tigercub50 · 31/10/2018 22:27

I was trying for ages to remember Come Back Lucy! It was pretty scary I think.
I can’t choose one programme. Used to love all the 5 minute ones that were on before the news, like “ Crystal Tips & Alistair” & “ All Aboard The Skylark”. Loved The Clangers, Bagpuss & The Magic Roundabout. And all the Watch with Mother programmes like Fingerbobs, Tales of the Riverbank etc. Also loved Michael Bentine’s Pottytime. Anyone remember that?

Double Deckers
Thunderbirds
Doctor Who
And agree with BelfortGabbz - Alias Smith and Jones was great!

IsabelleSE19 · 31/10/2018 23:21

Children of Green Knowe. Actually think I wouldn't be emotionally robust enough to watch it now - so tragic!

Press Gang, Byker Grove, Grange Hill

Round the Twist

There was also a Friday Film Special on CBBC that has really stuck with me, about a haunted mine. Scared the crap out of me!

I had a massive tantrum age 4 when my dad announced we were going straight from school to meet my newborn baby brother in hospital, because I didn’t want to miss it.
