New thread.

this is the only link I could find Holly.

Think I was well past children's TV by the 80's. Trumpton's more my era Jammy .

Me too. I didn't think it'd be my thing, but DH insisted and so far Postman Pat is the only one I ever saw, and that was only because my nephew loved it.

Do any of you facebook ladies play Scrabble. Have just played my first game, and fear I may become addicted

Pigeon Street was one of my absolute favourite programmes, alongside Mr Benn and Button Moon

I loved Mr Ben. Now you're talking.

me me fairy....invite me to scrabble please

I watched button moon with my nephews

it was Fingerbobs and Crystal Tips and Alistair that I remember fondly.

Dangermouse was fab in the 80s. I was 18 and used to go into Boots after school to watch it!

I have the complete Mr Ben on DVD.
There were only 14 episodes!

oh, and Trumpton and Camberwick Green.

I used to love Ivor the Engine, but that was later I think, maybe early 80s?

I am playing a game at the moment Daisy, but will invite when finished. How long per turn?

Only 14 Mr Bens, blimey

i loved Trumpton and Ivor as well

Lol sputnik at "I've" got

I bought Rhubarb and Custard for me DS a few years ago.....tis bloody fab

I got Trumpton for DD but for some reason DD refuses to watch it.
All this stuff is 2.99 on Amazon these days btw.

I think Ivor the Engine may be my next purchase.

Rhubarb and Custard, now you're talking!

Roobarb was on TV the other day. I only really liked the tune the rest was annoying. Anyone remember Mary, Mungo & Midge?

We had Bagpuss and R&C videos. The grandparents have them now that we don't have a video player ready to help them with babysitting in the future.

Saw R&C at the weekend, but it was modern re-make. Wrong!!!!

Bagpuss was always fab.

I used to like Mary Mungo and Midge

fairy, I've invited you to a game

Yeah but they were always in a lift - did they ever go anywhere? Maybe they're still there, stuck between floors.

My other game over now Daisy so coming to find you............

DD loves our DVD of the classic Mr Men stories

Right I am off. Night all.

goodnight Jammy, hope you feel better soon

Evening.

Jammy, DP and I have had words, he is equally as frustrated with me for "thinking about things and doing things all the time". It could just be that he is a grumpy fucker of course

And DS2 has been performing a plumbing experiment. He (previously) filled the loo with toilet paper but found (rather impressively for a 5 yo I think) that if you open the cistern [sp] and lift the ballcock, it empties it.

I think he was trying to repeat the success, and failed. Even reaching down the u-bend didn't help. The bugger.
