anyone remember kids series about an orphan boy called silas?

[hercules]

It was on in the 80's and he had a horse he loved and sometimes a friend with a limp. This old woman kept trying to kill him.

snort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this has me p,sl

If you'd seen it you'd know what I mean!

This one?

apparently his friend was called Godik.

Love you WWB! [smile}

I am humming the great theme tune!

GOSH i remember this, did he live in like a derelict barn and the old woman was like a witch/shrewy type woman?

oh, loved this - really badly dubbed, I think...

Yes, bad dubbing.

i fkin hated that programme.
i fkin hated heidi too
i also fkin hated black beauty

I loved heidi.

custardo

There were loads of badly dubbed series weren't there?

Wasn't there one about cinderella?
And one about a tree?

You surely don't mean the Singing Ringing Tree Katymac?

God that programme was scary. Still have nightmares.

And Silas looked like a frog.

Ah, kids today, they miss so much!

I have to admit to really liking Heidi too. Even now I occasionally find myself singing the annoying theme tune... Do do di do do di dodi, la laaaa, la laaaaaah!

Ahem.

I remember a kids programme (not dubbed) about a girl travelling with other people possibly after a disaster/WW3? and there was something wierd going on with the electricity pylons and funny music.

Everytime I mention it people look at me as if I were daft and change the subject....can M/N help?

isn;t it a nice day

Is it The Changes , katymac?

I still sometimes find myself humming the tune to Tom Sawyer - another of those went-on-forever, endlessly-repeated-during-school-hols things.

Dee dee de dee dee, de de de dee dee-ee dee
La la la la la l-laaaa, la la la laaaaa

Tom was my 1st crush, aged about 8!

(But Silas was unspeakably crap.)

Wasnt there an even worse badly dubbed one about a boy and his smile or something?

Silas was brilliant! but the top photo on that site looks like Victoria Beckham. I liked his geeky friend

Thanks WWB - I was starting to think I was imagining it, It's a relief that I can defend myself as it does exist

I remember silas. Didn't he have a horse?
