What the wierdest childrens programme from our childhood?

[LadyTophamHatt]

Just seen Pootle the flump on FF's member profile and it struck me that "The Flumps" was a really bizarre programme.

We were really bought up on some wierd shit weren't we?

Rentaghost. Ahead of its time IMO.

you'll find them all (and more) here, one of my old fave websites

Captain Pugwash.

And the Michael Bentine(sp?) Potty Show. (Please tell me I didn't imagine that one...?)

I've still got the Animal Kwakers popland annual somewhere! I think it's got the words to the song in it.... the bit I remember is just "Bongo Rory Twang and Boots"

I went to see them live as well !!

Fingermouse - cardboard mouse with a blokes finger stuffed up it's bum

Jamie and the Magic Torch - now that one I liked.

Ahhhhh memories

Littlemissbossy - thanks you for the Barnaby song link ! I've been singing that off and on for years and my dp thinks I invented it cos he can't remember it at all despite being the same age as me. I will play it to him!

Monkeytrousers - I think we are the same age. Clangers & Fingerbobs figure highly in my memory. Bet you remember Bagpuss, Mr. Ben & Jamie & his Magic Torch too.

Anyone remember Mary, Mungo & Midge about a girl who lived in a block of flats with a dog & a mouse?

We've been watching Bod and Mr Benn on NickJr tonight. Think that stinking Bagpuss is on later - hated that cat.

for all the welsh speakers who grew up in the 70's - Teliffant and Syr Wynff + Plwmsan

Taid was SOOOOO weird!

absolutely loved it - still do!

teeave - wtf

Wattoo-Wattoo. It had evil pigeons and a strange black and white creature. Very, very, very odd.

Noddyholder - I think it was Pipkins!

Does anyone remember 'The Changes'? - Now that was seriously weird

i'm desperately hoping someone will know what I'm on about!

Syr Wynff was THE BOSS!

(and no, I'm not drunk)

DD (18mo) has recently become addicted to Bagpuss - does a mean impression of Professor Yaffle.

noddyh, it was called pipkins [dons brum accent] 'haaartley haaaaartley'

noggin the nog was dead strange.

pob

DH has just said that Raggety off Rupert the Bear used to scare him to death .

Misdee - isn't that the wierd fat faced puppet thing that spits all over then goes "P O B, Pob" ?

Teliffant - now that is a blast from the past!

Not a kids programme but does anyone remember that weird Norwegian thriller thing Maelstrom?

oh oh oh oh kaymac, I do beieve you've got it.
I'm sure it was itsy and bitsy.
Loved that.

Itsy and Bitsy were on paperplay.

yay! yoyo! you remember it!
I knew I wouldn't be alone!!!

DH say's:

Hart Beat - with Morph and Chaz
Magpie (then sings maaaaaaagpie)
Tizwaz
Multi Coloured Swap Shop
Why Don't You

What was that stupid program where everyone had to do team races like running in and out of cones, getting wet and stuff like that while the crowd cheered on?

Pogles Wood - very odd.

The Herbs - creepy and odd.

Crystal Tips and Alistair - chemically induced hallucination.

I think most of the programmes we watched as children in the 60's and 70's must have been dreamt up over a bong. Good to see FingerBobs mentioned. Was it Yuffy who used to lift a finger and a mouse was there...? Whatever you say...maaaan
