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

hated inspector gadget and the mask.

Er, DANCES. I think you mean 'Soo'. It was the soppy spelling that made her so annoying.

tales of the riverbank
children of the stones was really scary,remember that?

Ulysses was another similar one, went on for ages, probably aimed at boys but I loved it.

80 days around the world! How much am I enjoying this thread

liked flinstones but hated yogi bear.

i liked wacky races.

Ah yes, Bod, beautiful in his simplicity.

And who could forget:- "like a streak of lightning coming from the sky
Like a mighty arrow shooting from a bow
Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly
You'll hear about him everywhere you go
the time will come when everyone will know the name of....

CHAMPION the WONDER HORSE"

(recently revisited on you-tube, now sung constantly by my 3 and 4-yr-olds)

One for all and all for one

Yes Ulysses!
Me me No-No ( small robot you know)...Every week Philip Schofield's sweet soprano trilling the theme tune over the the opening credits.

Ulysses was GREAT!

HellyMelly - I don't know those programmes, are you very young or very old?

Sorry Miss Bennett - SOO

Flinstones was good, wacky races not so good.

FRANK - damn YOuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I'll be singing that all night......

Ditto notnowbernard!!! The Littlest Hobo is/was the best!!!

Strangely I don't remember the story lines very well... just that he was a lovely dog but always chose the road over anythingelse and the lovely fuzzy feeling it gave me in my tummy!!!

Warning - Tissues ready before clicking!
