Heidi - 1978

I relive my youth quite often... one of the plus points of working with children, you get to rewatch all those programmes you watched yourself as a child

Oh yes, I remember Wizbit and T-Bag

Whizzz - I loved Casey Jones 'steaming and a rolling',Robinson Crusoe - I have the music on cd - loved it ! and Tales of the Riverbank was lovely

tegan - how could I have forgotten ALF?

(my doctor looks like him...seriously, right down to the quiff...it's the only reason I still go to my surgery)

ooh, Whizzz - that Tales from the Riverbank theme was very evocative, though I don't really remember it so well, only being 30-ish .

However, as Margaret mentioned, Robinson Crusoe was also one of my absolute favourites, it must have been repeated in the 70s, as that's the time I was able to remember things from. I can only recall the lovely music from White Horses, but things like Three Nuts for Cinderella also made a real impression on me.

Blimey only skimmed the thread but I can tell I'm sooooo much older than most people on here! Can't see anuy other mention of the double deckers. I was really excited to get an ebay dvd of the complete episodes to show ds recently - and I was so shocked at how regularly horrible they all were to doughnut!

T-Bag's in Emmerdale now isn't she??

Sam on Boff's Island
The Double Deckers
White Horses and those other dubbed period drama type thingies from The Banana Splits.
The Tomorrow People

treacletart - I remember the Double Deckers ! also loved Follyfoot, Catweazle,Tomorrow People,Flipper,Magpie,Daktari,Skippy...Ace of Wands, Screen Test, Top of the Form ( loved all the music from these) and though I don't remember White Horses in any detail I still love the music - it was the first record I bought.

Funny how this shows what age groups we are all in- I'm obviously in the (slightly) older group with MM/Jura/noscat & Whizz

I remember Pogle's Wood well- we lived in Stoke Poges at the time & thought 'twas about us!!

Anyone remember an obscure American TV show called HR Pufnstuff with a VERY young Jack Wilde?

Oh and this.....Banana Splits

bossy - yes, I do remember HR Pufnstuf and loved Pogles Wood and Banana Splits - must be late forties !

link{http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0e8Wx7n3Mfc\animal magic} don't think anyones mentioned Johnny Morris yet!

here - oops

apologies jura

Does anyone remember 'Let's Pretend'. It was basically a bunch of acting students larking around in a cardboard box, pretending it was a battleship or whatever. Accompanied by a marionette caterpillar. Must have been made with a budget of 50p!

It was on in the mid 1980s. It was my absolute favourite, and I have never met anyone as an adult who remembers it.

I always loved anything with Brian Cant in it, I wanted Brian Cant to be my dad because he looked so kindly

A fave from the 90s, Maid Marian and her Merry Men. Brilliant.

Play Away !

Play Away
Magpie with their totaliser!
How!

snigger sorry Jura!!!

GetOrf- you are FAR too young I was a qualified nurse by the mid 80's

..although I Do agree about Brian Cant!!

MY kids had some dodgy videos with him & a mothy puppet called Bertie the Badger, they LOVED it!!

barnaby the bear and rupert (with ragety the strange root type character)

Ah Whizzz, Johnny Morris, never been anyone to replace him

Terry Nutkins just never cracked it for me!
