A thread to relive those fantabulous moments of kids TV from our youth...:kid: and share about other childhood heros!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/years/1981/gallery/340/animalmagic.jpg

This thread has been titled Terry Nutkins so that Haydons site gets more hits on the Google searches...:naughty:

Who were the heros of your day...:pimp:

Here's my biggest hero from when I was really little...Floella Benjamin...Humpty was okay but I prefered Little Ted!

http://www.mauricephotos.co.uk/press2_floella.jpg

ahhh...what a wonderful woman...and do you remember the Polo mints she used to wear on her ear rings! :thumbsup:

Used to love watching this little guy...

http://www.wwwk.co.uk/images/tv/mary-mungo-midge.jpg

Oh I'm on a reminiscing tour now.

And I always wanted us to go on Ask the Family. I'm sure we would have won it.:w00t:

This was my hero when I was little:

http://www.worldofbubble.com/images/thomas_tank_engine.jpg

This is my earliest TV memory. Pogles Wood.

http://www.thechestnut.com/links/poglesma.jpg

Ah, Pippin Tog, The Wise Tulip....... A bit blurry, but so's my memory.

Oh, I don't remember Pogle Wood.........before my time!

Didn't understand a word these guys said but they were ever so cute!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/classic/clangers/images/clangers1_250h.jpg

My earliest tv programme was

http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/children/watchwm/woodentops.jpg


Watch with mother with "spot" the dog

ok showing my age now :bag:

Another fave of mine...

http://www.markmasonanimation.co.uk/raggy_dolls/raggy_group.jpg

Raggy dolls
Raggy dolls
Just like you and me!

Yay! :yahoo:

Fab Peej...simply fab!

I'm sure the guy who did the voice of Spotty owns a boat around here called Super Ted...he sounds exactly like him when he calls up on the radio!
http://www.abbeyhomemedia.com/html/images/brands/superted.gif

I always remember this one:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/doloresredd/marineboy.jpg

although as me and max relied on our older brother to read stuff for us and he always pronounced it Marnie Boy instead of Marine Boy ... no-one ever new what we were talking about! ahh older brothers!

Oooh, I loved Bagpuss with the mice "we will fix it, we will fix it, we will stick with glue, glue, glue"!

Then there was 'Hi-yo Silver - awaaaay'

http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/ranger1.jpg

...and did anyone else do this in shop windows?
http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/adults/other/harry_worth1.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/mazwad/ivanhoe_col.jpg

I was in love with Roger Moore as Ivanhoe, I don't suppose many will remember this programme must have been early 60's.

Another early fave of mine, one of the "dubbed" ones was Belle et Sebastien. And White Horses (loved the theme tune to that one). Heidi. Cristaltips and Alistair. Rhubarb & Custard. Magic Roundabout. Jackanory, just before the news, usually with Bernard Cribbens or Kenneth Williams.

Quite liked Playschool, but absolutely loved Playaway.

.......... and who could forget

HOW?

http://www.whom.co.uk/whom/how.jpg

Ivanho-oh - There was freedom in his banner and justice in his sword...:naughty:

My first love was easy-lopin', cattle-ropin' Sugarfoot

http://www.fiftiesweb.com/tv/will-hutchins-2.jpg


I loved Belle et Sebastien too Patsy.

The other foreign ones I liked were The Singing Ringing Tree which was on Tales From Europe (very dodgy sets) and Captain Zeppos which was Belgian, quite boring, but strangely fascinating.

The Singing Ringing Tree rings a bell (no pun intended). They're all flooding back to me now. That picture reminded me of this.

http://media.bestprices.com/content/dvd/10/243213.jpg

When they break his sword and throw him out of the army, very dramatic.

I remember Marine Boy, Dol. Didn't he used to chew something called "Aqua Gum" to help him breathe under water?

Then of course there's all the Gerry and Sylvia Anderson puppet shows. My favourite was definitely Captain Scarlet. Is it wrong to fancy a puppet? :unsure:

And please tell me someone remembers The Telebugs:

http://www.toonhound.com/telebugs.jpg

What about Noggin the Nog - anybody remember that?

http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/children/noggin/noggin.gif

Golly yes - did it used to come on in the middle of Blue Peter?

peej stop being soo young!!!:glare:

Golly yes - did it used to come on in the middle of Blue Peter?

It might have done - I can't remember!

It's Friday, it's five to five and it's crackerjack:yahoo:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/classic/crackerjack/images/intro.jpg

There was another good European version of Robinson Crusoe - and there was always a classic children's serial on a Sunday, I particularly remember Children of the New Forest.

This used to be on on Sundays as well

I bet, due to my very advanced years, I'm the only one who remembers watching

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v611/liberated60s/muffin2.jpg

Yes, it's Muffin the Mule with Annette Mills (sister of John Mills) and yes he was really called that and I've heard all the jokes :D

BTW who is that Maz? Don't recognise them - but we didn't have a TV, used to go round my aunt's to watch :)

Oh, Fifi. I haven't got sound. I'm gutted. :sad:

Rob, I remember the Glaze and Crowther combo, but maybe a few years later. ;)

I remember dear old Muffin Crit. The clue to the one I posted is on his cap I bet Fee knows.

Oh goody - I don't feel so ancient now ;) To be honest, the first thing I really remember was Listen with Mother (or was it called Children's Hour). I used to love listening to Daphne Oxenford reading the stories of "My Naughty Little Sister". Aaaah the memories

Since we're down memory lane, how about all those comics, Beano, Dandy, School Friend, Girls Crystal, I loved Enid Blyton's Sunny Stories, and then later on Valentine and Romeo (usually with a free plastic bracelet). :)

what about these

www.toonhound.com/clangers.htm

& don't forget www.jellyflaps.com/wherearethey/clangers.php

Actually I seem to remember them being a little older also - the only pictures I could find were of them at that age :cool:

Uhuh....... :pimp:

Anyone remember this?

Oh what happy memories this man gave me when I was younger!

(Is it wrong I still want to go in the Fun House)

(Is it wrong I still want to go in the Fun House)
Absolutely not. I'd still jump at the chance. Some of the prizes they won were great.

Remember Melanie and Martina?

Absolutely!

I wonder, if they did a reunion show, would they still look like that?

Remember the go-karts that went at about 2mph as well? They needed a wheel change after one lap?

How rubbish were they?

Oh my god, I've gone on a nostalgic trip now!

How about these:

http://www.hopeharveys.com/IMAGES/flumps_sm.jpg

Oh the Flumps, I'd forgotten about them.
Used to love them too.

The Flumps...a fave of mine and Mama Coasties! :wub:

'Ello Grandpa, 'ow's ya Flumpett?'

Mars...it was Terry Wogan who did the voice over to Stopit and Tidy up wasn't it?

And as for...

Bertha...lovely Bertha
Sometimes I think you a dream
When we've worked out what you've got to do
You always turn the goods out
Always turn the goods out
We can depend upon you! :yahoo:

Peej...we really must meet sometime to sing a rousing chorus of...Cities of Gold...I can still remember all the words to that...and Round the World in 80 Days...and the Ewoks! :wacko:

How many out there always wanted one of these?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/ouch/images/features/jfi/jfi-badge.jpg

I applied once...I wanted to do the Krypton Factor Assault Course...(ahhh another TV classic)...I never did get to play :(

and Round the World in 80 Days...and the Ewoks! :wacko:

Ah. two other favourites of mine! Where have you been all my life!

I always felt that Thundercats and He-man (I'm not even going to mention She-Ra (oops just did) were a little more pants than the affore mentioned cartoons..how you Peej?

'Shnurf Wileycat!'

Did anyone else use tpo watch this when they should hav been revising for their GCSE's?

http://spacemonkeys.freewebspace.com/images/gfg.jpg

'The heat is on
The time is right
It's time for you
To come and play your game...'

It was always a bit embarassing when a man with a string Irish accent asked questions in English to people from foriegn lands and they would still beat any Brit on the show!

'The heat is on
The time is right
It's time for you
To come and play your game...'

"...People are coming,
Everyone's trying,
Trying to be the best that they can.

When they're going for, going for gold!"

Fantastic!

Aye ok. PM me your address and I'll send the sample and turkey baster asap.

All of a sudden it doesn't seem so romantic afterall! :unsure:

Going For Gold!

That was my FAVOURITE programme when I was younger!

'You're through to the first round proper'

Brilliant! I didn't know any of the answers but i liked the fun graphics they used!

You can catch repeats of it often on the odd sky channel. I watched it a couple of weeks ago, brought back so many memories.

What was the programme with Bob "give me a P please" Holness?

It was Blockbusters Bella. How could you forget that!?

http://www.ukgameshows.com/atoz/programmes/b/blockbusters/blockbusters_set.jpg

Cheers PJ! My mind went completely blank! I knew a guy that went on that show and he won it along with his mate, and OMG what a to$$er he was! You would have thought he had won a gold medal or something!

I just remember the young lad who answered 'Orgasm' when he meant to say 'Organism' :laugh:

Who? This guy? :laugh:

http://www.ukgameshows.com/atoz/programmes/b/blockbusters/blockbusters_org.jpg

I'm sure that is a picture of a blonde lad with a bit of a pony tail but I can't see it! :unsure:

I'm sure that is a picture of a blonde lad with a bit of a pony tail but I can't see it! :unsure:
He's blonde but doesn't have a ponytail. Anyway it is him.

Wow! This thread's really got me wallowing in nostalgia...

The Flashing Blade was one of my earliest "must see" TV serials...(and probably one of my very first crushes:blush: )

http://www.jedisparadise.co.uk/childrenstv/Flashing_Blade/Flashing_Blade9.jpg

I remember it having a truly great (and incredibly corny) theme tune - oh well, that's the French for you.

Mr Benn was (and probably still is) one of the best young kids' programmes ever made....Dangermouse remains captivating (my kids hijacked my "trip down memory lane" DVDs of those and I haven't seen them since - guess it's a testament to the series' longevity).

Also happened to see a few episodes of The Adventures of Black Beauty on an English-speaking TV channel in Holland a couple of years ago and that brought back a huge number of memories....

Somehow Xiaolin Showdown just doesn't seem to hold the same magic.....:huh:

I loved Mr Benn and jamie and the magic torch.
But one of my all time favourites was

The music used to make me cry and I thought it was lovely that he stuck his neck out for those young chicks to cross the river

If your mansion house needs haunting just call Rentaghost,
We've got spooks and ghouls and freaks and fools at Rentaghost!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v342/bobbybobbob/renta.jpg

Is HUMPTY A POOF!:shock:

Do you know Bob, I was reminded the other day about Rentaghost and thought about putting it in here.

I used to love that program.

These lyrics used to make me cry...

1979 LYRICS

There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I'll always be

Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

Down this road, that never seems to end,
Where new adventure, lies just around the bend.

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light - that's hobo style.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home.

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light
That's hobo style.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

Instrumental Bridge

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

There's a world, that's waiting to unfold,
A brand new tale, no one has ever told,

We've journey'd far but, you know it won't be long,
We're almost there and we've paid our fare, with the hobo song.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light - that's hobo style.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll find what I call home
Until tomorrow, you know I'm free to roam.

And of course there was this wonder of a beast...

Ooo that used to freak me out Peej...mind you Kenneth Williams freaked me out ine everything he did...that voice hit the back of my teeth every time and sent them grating! :wacko:

I was watching the disney channel the other night with the kids (you don't have to pay extra now for it) and willo the wisp was coming on.
I thought great, I used to love that show. But it's a new version. the narrator is that guy who was in Gimme gimme gimme, and even evil edna has been updated and she is now a flat screen tv. Not as good as the original.

What about Barba Pappa or what ever they were called - all were smooth edged blobs apart from the black fluffy edged one who was my fave. what was this then

These really are blasts from the pasts!

There was a barmaid in our local pub that looked like Evil Edna!

Loved Rentaghost, it was just so off the wall!

And The Littlest Hobo was just so sad!

Anyone remember this little fella - it was just an injustice!

http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=tbn:0weAracHEV0J:web.quick.cz/oddil-calimero/calimero.jpg

Also what was the programme that Oliver Tobias was ever so hunky in, was Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and he had a side-kick called Kai or something like that.

And Saturday nights were not Saturday Nights with Alais Smith & Jones.

Willow the Wisp anyone?



Pj LMAO I used to love that programe.
I used to be able to do a really good impression of the fat fairy saying "oh Arthur" Was she called Alice BTW?
I'm going to see if I can still do it, there's no one else here. :unsure:

Yikes how stupid did I juts feel, but yeah I can still do the voice!

Anyone remember this little fella - it was just an injustice!

No Bella, who is that? What did they do to him ?

Is HUMPTY A POOF!:shock:

Oh for gods sake Coastie get a life, just clock the olive and bottle green tight jump suit and braces in a paisley stylee. The pink booties, mits and muffs and matching lippy. Hummpty is a raving woofta if ever there was one. I was hurt too it it helps!

Coastie I would have kept this privvy but havn't got time to spread it around.

How about Captain Pugwash with Master Bates? :unsure: :laugh:

Was that deliberate? Anyone know?

No Bella, who is that? What did they do to him ?

Calimero was a little bird with an eggshell on his head who got the blame for everything bad that happened in his village. His end line was always "it's such an injustice"..........done in a French accent, at least I think it was French. He tried so hard to fit in and just as things were going well, something would happen and he would stand accused. He was ever so sweet!

How about Captain Pugwash with Master Bates? :unsure: :laugh:

Was that deliberate? Anyone know?

It's an urban myth, Tiggs. There never was such a character. Neither was there a Seaman Staines or Roger the Cabin Boy.

Well that's just disappointing.:glare:

There was a Master Mate, Pirate Willy and the cabin boy was called Tom.

I've just remembered another:

Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shoe people!

http://www.toonhound.com/shoepeople-2.gif

Such a s.hit idea for a cartoon but it was great.

Never quite got this cartoon but had to watch anyway!

http://www.abc.net.au/children/includes/shows/images/pingu_127.gif

and can I just say that Beaker was always my fave muppet!

http://www.the-ba.net/NR/rdonlyres/9975A928-20AC-4213-8003-E72E7E713FFC/0/muppets.jpg

Coastie, I was watching the muppets special that was on the other week, and I said to hubby that the scientist guy with the orange hair was my favourite.:good:

Beeker (never did know how it was spelt) is the coolest isn't he Andrea! :thumbsup:

I've just remembered another:

Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shoe people!



Completely forgot about this! It was brilliant!

They made a great range in chocolate from this too!

I think my ULTIMATE fav kids show was Bagpuss. I still watch when its on the TV. I adore him.

http://dalliance.net/b3ta/Bagpuss.jpg

The above is Bagpuss smoking a spliff :pimp:

I only realised today that I have actually met Terry Nutkins in the fleisch. My dad arranged for myself and one of my sisters to pat the Dolphins I don't know where. But it was Terry who organised it. I have (or rather someone does - I will find it) a great pic of me and my sis stroking dolphins sporting nice spotted red head headscarfs - I would have been about 12 (1977).

Anyhow I will endeavor to find the photo.

I just wanted to boast really.

i was reading yesterday that Terry Nutkins - Really Wild Show is being axed and he is slinging insults at his fellow naturalist presenters now ... even daring to call SIR David Attenborough boring! gosh! the insorbindation of Terry Nutkins!
