travellingwilbury · 28/10/2008 07:33

Does anyone else remember Metal Micky ?
Strange robot type that ate sweets

Rhubarb and Custard was very odd but I liked it

TwoIfByScream · 28/10/2008 12:00

I bought the entire dvd series of Dogtanian, for my dts you understand ahem.

I also bought Heidi (more rolls for you Grandmother?) but cannot justify that as a purchase for anyone but me! Same goes for Belle and Sebastien, although dts quite like that one.

I quite liked Itsy and Bitsy and there was a programme I can't quite remember that had a yellow triceratops who would dance through the end titles, I don't know if it was at the end of Itsy and Bitsy or not.

Johnny Briggs was legend, "my mum, whose a nurse..." and Tommy with his extravaganza in the park.

Does anyone wonder what their dcs will look back on fondly?

TwoIfByScream · 28/10/2008 12:27

Oh and I thought it would be really cool to be part of the Red Hand Gang even though the girl character was kind of rubbish.

NosfeRaahhTu · 28/10/2008 13:03

dh bought me the Dogtanian video just after we met

Can anyone explain why Bungle (a big bear type thing that wore no clothes) used to go behind a rock to put his swimming trunks on when they did beach scenes?
Always made me laugh.

And i LOVED Pipkins (til they took it off for Lets Pretend- grrrr).

NosfeRaahhTu · 28/10/2008 13:07

oh and Chorlton and the wheelies- i think the witch was called Fenella , and she was Welsh. Little old Lady, Chorlton called her.
