Come and remind me of your fav characters from children's television when WE were children

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

Still fab:
Windy Miller
Bod
Farmer Barleymow
The Wombles

Best forgotten:
Bagpuss (Oh don't care if you flame me...flea ridden bag)
Hamble (scary)
Bungle

If you live in pigeon street, here are the people you would meet...tra la...

King Rollo - definitely still fab

Now, the Smurfs, best forgotten...not sure, I'm sure my brother and I loved the smurfs although that's not necessarily a glowing recommendation...

Mr Ben was like James Bond for pre-schoolers!!
G-force (Battle of the Planets) were cool
Agree Windy Miller in his rumpety-tumpety baker's van was somehow an icon.
The flumps, Hong Kong Phooey and Captain caveman also legends
And the Littlest Hobo kicked Lassie's ass (well, not literally...)

But Prof Yaffle was a condescending windbag (although the mice were cute)
Jamie and his Magic torch were woeful
And the jury is out on the Trumpton firemen- there was just something a bit "cliquey" about them imo

Sooty DEFINITELY best forgotten and that bossy bitch Sue but I liked Sweep!
Haven't seen modern Basil Brush, I'll have to take your word on that.

LOL cliquey

The Littlest Hobo... the theme tune used to make me cry

"Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down

Maybe tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on"

As he trots down a dusty road all alone

My brother and I loved G-force! I saw it about 6 months ago...it was WOEFUL (great word)

How about Jonny Briggs

Ah, but that might be the NEW Battle of the Planets- which I agree is dire! The original, though, was superb! Princess and Mark- bit like Luke and Leia, somehow?? But the jealous snarling Jasomn never lived up to the wonderful Han Solo. And Tiny?? Les dawson look-a-like?? Where and how did he fit in with tese beautiful people?

I sound like a nut-case, now, don't I

loved:
barnaby the bear
mr ben
bagpuss's mice 'heeeeave'
parsley the lion
clangers
bod
'hugh, pugh, barley mcgrew, cuthbert, dibble and grub'
captain pugwash
wacky races - dastardly and muttly, penelope pitstop et al
hong kong phooey

loathed:
teddy edward - feck all ever happened
fingerbobs- aargh the 'prawn' fingers
pipkins- scary hartley and the nameless pig.
flumps- pointless
rentaghost- thespy bollox and they're 'resurrecting' it too soon.

Well that's carbon dated me

ahh yes
'every step i take i make a new friend'
maybe tommorrow i'll wanna settle down until tommorrow i'll just keep moving on'
always shed a tear!!

I don't remember that Jooly!

Wasn't a fan of Jonny Briggs.

I loved Rentaghost!!!

I liked rentaghost too!

Had completely forgotten about Penelope Pitstop 'Haaaaaaayeeelp'
'eughhhaaahhhaaaa, Penelope's gonna die'

Also the prawn finger from finger bobs I'll be having nightmares about that tonight...

But NNB- they were 'spooks and ghouls and freaks n fools...'

The Mysterious Cities of Gold

Dogtanian and the 3 Muskahounds
DH has just admitted being unaturally fond of the pretty girl spaniel

Rosie and Jim were my ultimate favourite.

Then Poppy from playdays and the why bird.

followed by the raggie dolls .. i think that's what it was called.

Timothy Claypole, was it?

OMG The mysterious Cities of Gold! My brother and I LOVED that!
Also the 80 days around the world (we'll find a pot of gold, just sitting where the rainbow's ended)...

Oh and now we're moving on a bit, how about...

THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER CATS!

Cities of Gold

it went on FOREVER, didn't it? like a million episodes or something

oh yes ..

trumpton
mr ben
andy pandy
king rollo
hector
rainbow
sooty
smurfs

hated the clangers

Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

He-Man (loved it)

Inspector Gadget

Did they ever find that damn city?!

By the power of Greyskull (not the mnetter by that name) I LOVED HeMan. SheRa sucked though.
