Favourite old children’s shows

[zscaler]

Sorry for shamelessly using AIBU for traffic!

I’m pregnant and feeling nostalgic for the children’s tv shows of my childhood! My absolute favourite was Old Bear Stories (from the Jane Hissey books), and I’ve just seen it’s all on YouTube so I can’t wait to show them to my baby!

What were your favourites, and do you think they beat out the Pepper Pigs of today?

Top cat...I used to fancy him 🙈🤣

Really showing my age here, but Pogles' Wood, Tales of the Riverbank, Mary Mungo and Midge, Bagpuss, The Clangers, The Herbs, Hector's House. Too many to mention 😊

@bloodyhellsbellsx so did I

The Ghosts of Motley Hall,
Worzel Gummidge
The Phoenix and the Carpet
and of course Rainbow...
You can age posters by their responses!

The Tomorrow People! Loved it.
Also remember Watch with mother - Andy Pandy, the Woodentops, tales of the Riverbank, and Playschool (the round, square and arched windows) Yeap I’m that old.
Does anyone else remember a lovely version of Carrie’s War, probably early 70s?

The world of David the Gnome - Think this was a favorite when i was really young

Round the twist
Secret Valley - Not sure if that was only in Australia?

As a teen i still loved all the Nickelodeon stuff, Catdog, Rocko, Hey Arnold, Real Monsters, Angry Beavers, Wild Thornberrys. I just got a heap of them on DVD.

Spartakus And The Sun Beneath The Sea - I remember watching this before school every morning. I had forgotten what it was called over time but the theme song would regularly pop into my head even 30 years later but not enough to remind me of the title.. i think it may have been a similar thread that i was reminded.

@bloodyhellsbellsx @Snaketime it's ok i remember my cousin having a crush on adult Simba back in the day.

Aah @Beekeeper1 , Richard Baker, such a comforting newsreader.
However, I’m sorry to say that Egbert Nosh passed me by. I’ll google.

@MereDintofPandiculation , I don’t remember Rag, Tag and Bobtail but I knew of it, maybe I did see it but I did remember Tinger and Tucker and wonder whether that was of the same era?

Really lovely thread OP. Thank you.

The get along gang

Mary, Mungo and Midge, I wanted to at the top of a block of flats for years due to that show 😃

@snaketime @LunaMay
Those Halifax adverts last year brought back a whole lot of memories 🤣🤣

And Dr Snuggles. My dad used to make up stories about him when I was little.

Anyone remember Stoppit and Tidyup, narrated by Terry Wogan?

The witches of grannigog
Children of the stones (I think that's what it was called)
The watch house (scared the beejeesus out of me!)
The moon dial
Round the twist
5 children and IT
the early Grange Hill
And one about a drummer boy who was a ghost and covered in phosphorus so glowed ...can't remember what it was called!
Worzel gummage (aunt Olive was very similar to one of my school teachers)
So many great programmes

Ha ha ha.

I can tell exactly how old you all are within around 2 years.

sings Yoffy lifts a finger, and a mouse is there

A weird one called The Changes that used to frighten me.

One called Sky about an alien boy.

@tempestterra, the ghostly drummer boy, was that 'Earthfasts' by any chance, based on William Mayne's childrens novel of the same name?

Codename Icarus.

There was also a dubbed tv show, set in a Victorian style era. Two countries were divided by a river. One side was an industrialised dystopia, the other a rural idyll. The dystopia (in monochrome shades) had a super weapon... does anybody have any idea what show I’m talking about?

Vicky the Viking

Let’s Pretend

The always amazing Rainbow (we watch these now still )

Anyone remember the children’s British film foundation dramas? One in particular called ‘Terry on the Fence’ scarred and scared me as a child.
