I can't spell after a few drinkys but what the hey?!
Just thinking about kids programmes and wondered what everyone's favourites were when they were a kid and which one do you secretly love now?
I used to love the Clangers (and still do!) but now find myself tuning into Spongebob Squarepants
Go on you know you want to tell all!!

Ah Henry's Cat!!
I always thought his name was Henry!! But you never got to know his name did you?

singyswife · 30/12/2005 22:03

Cool, I had forgotten about all of these. What about puddle lane? Anyone remember that. I remember Why Dont You. What was the song, "Switch off your tv set and do somthing less boring instead". I never understood how that would make you watch the programme. Never mind, it ibviously did

SackAche · 30/12/2005 22:03

Rentaghost - remember McWitch? I bet it would look so cheap & dated now.

Does anyone remember a film that used to be on around christmas time I think. The few things I remember are:-
An alien lands in a spaceship
Leaves green footprints in the snow
I remember people walking in snow shoes (things that looked like tennis rackets tied to their feet)
It might have been dubbed as was originally filmed in a language other than English
There were loads of smarties poured out in the spaceship towards the end.

Ok . PMSL So maybe it's time to lay off the wine and go to bed.

Superted & Bananaman!

Henry's, Henry's, you must know Henry's cat
He's a mellow yellow feline so take a second look
He knows everything about nothing
And not so much about that
If you know someone who knows what he knows
Then you must know Henry's cat.......

Spaekler are you sure it is just wine you're having??

northerner · 30/12/2005 22:08

Dangermouse, and strangely I remeber The Sullivans, not a kids programme but came on after kids at lunch time any my mum used to watch it.

chjlly · 30/12/2005 22:08

Have you ever watched trap door as an adult though - very amusing! especially when you are drunk too!
