And they lived on the moon?? lol i luuved them so much! they were better than the modern cartoons like spongebob! lol im a *90's kid* hehe [x]

WEEEEEED!!!! is from Bill and Ben, I think, which was banned at one point because some do-gooder so-called expert said that children were not learning how to speak properly and were going round saying "flobalobalobalob" ....or something...... and to think of the rubbish kids watch these days!!!

WEEEEEEEEEED!!! I love Bill and Ben

Amazing what you can find on youtube!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOd0DJ_iaAQ (Not Windy Miller as I thought........ )



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71W5A-BSXdk Enjoy!!!!!

Hehe that's awesome. So much better than the kids shows now. Boobah is really really scary

There was another show on Watch with Mother (we had a video) with a couple of rabbits - something and cottontail I think that I can't remember at all what it was called

Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail?

Remember Tales of the Riverbank?

YES. That was one of hte first tunes I learned when I bought "Eric", my first guitar. Named after the lead guitarist in the Bay City Rollers
Loved that programme.
Anyone remember Tales From Europe, Timeslip, The Tomorrow People and The Kids From 47A??
Bev.

No, no, yes and no.

The Tomorrow People had a very strange sounding theme tune. I think it involved a theremin.....

Really I'm more from the era of such greats as Dangermouse and Button Moon...

Dangermouse!

You know it's available on DVD from Amazon?

Also Batfink

*sings* Dangermouse.......Dangermouse.........Dangermouse dadada da da da da dadada da da da da

DA DA.............BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's past your bedtime, Barry.



Keep taking the pills

What about Top Cat and Captain Dibble??!

Yeah..ok...what about them? I thought it was quite amusing..

Hey, a bit of nostalgia never harmed anyone....

Well, usually that's the case...

Shall I sing the Button Moon theme now....'We're off to Button Moon......'

Top Cat! YAY!

I don't remember Captain Dibble though

edit: couldn't resist, Barry

Think that was called Boss Cat over here, and Top Cat in the rest of the world. No idea why.....

Top Cat when I were a kid.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Cat

I guess it changed at some point...

'we'll follow Mr. Spoon.....'

How about Play School?

And Play Away?

Play Away had a great theme tune too.......

No, no, no..it was definitely Top Cat!! Captain Dibble was the cop who kept trying to move them all on.

"Top Cat!! The indeafeatable leader of the gang.....he's the most tip top...TOP CAT!!!"

I miss sharky and george - the crime busters of the sea!! And of course, sesame street, where did that go?!

Oh! Now I am with you!

And yes, definitely remember him as Top Cat (and am now humming the tune to myself... past my bedtime )

SESAME STREET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?

'Yes, sure, it's over there. You can't miss it, an enormous yellow bird lives there....'

Bwahahahahahaha!

and a wooly mamoth of the same size

"It's time to get things started
It's time to light the light
It's time to have a party
On the Muppet show tonight!"

I love the Muppets..how can you forget the Muppets?!!!!!

i love kermit and of course miss piggy

Yes..and the two old fellas in the theatre box! And Robin..Kermits nephew

"Halfway up the stair is the stair where I sit
There isn't any other stair quite like it
It's not at the bottom
It's not at the top
But this is the stair where I always stop"

Aaaahhh...all this nostalgia..sniff sniff...

Er - I think the three you mention are Beatrix Potter! The Watch with Mother rabbits were Rag, Tag and Bobtail...

People of a certain vintage *ahem* can recite 'Monday - Picture Book, Tuesday - Andy Pandy, Wednesday - Bill and Ben, Thursday - Rag, Tag and Bobtail, and Friday - The Woodentops'!

I just adored Spotty Dog in the Woodentops - he makes me laugh . I caught a 'Grumpy Old Women' prog being repeated the other day and one of the things they were talking about was how, when you reach a certain age *ahem ahem* you start doing an 'old lady run' which is 'where only the bottom half of your body moves and you run like Spotty Dog'. That just cracked me up totally as they juxtaposed a clip of an actress demonstrating said old-lady-run with Spotty Dog running .




Oh, YES - I just adored Hammy and the river (and am still besotted by rivers ).

Batfink is on TV now sometimes!

"My wings are shields of steel - your bullets cannot harm me"

hi i thought it was officer dibble ?

Yes! I've even managed to find Barbapapa on You tubeBarbapapa

Enjoy!

Love it

Yes, it was Officer (not Captain) Dibble!

I used to love the Magic Roundabout - I still say "Time for bed Zebedeeeeeeee" to the kids sometimes and they give each other knowing looks *Mum's gone mad again....*

Also loved a cartoon about a "mild-mannered janitor" who turned into Hong Hong Fooey... and the Pink Panther cartoons - they were brill.

hi penery the janitor i loved the receptioness

What about Mr Benn???

Wonderful stuff...

Oh yes - Mr Benn!
goes off daydreaming...

Oh Mr Benn! Most excellent I think the writers were probably high on something but we kids loved the programme......

Loved the theme song and the way he got ready for bed at the end during the credits.......




Isn't that A A Milne?........

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3hafdVl50g Top Cat opening and closing credits.... ah - brings back memories!!!

Yeah, that's it, thanks Mr. Benn and Majic Roundabout are legends Also discovered none of my uneducated friends know anything about The Herbs An email with youtube videos on it has just done the rounds

I used to rather like Magpie.
I loved Top cat, the way he got ready for bed at the end was great.
Casey Jones and the cannonball express was on Tuesdays just before Brownies
Bev.

Ok Ok! Officer Dibble!! He looked like a Captain to me!!!

Who else remembers Pigeon Street?

YouTube seems to be great for finding clips of all of these old programmes .

I remember Pigeon Street

You would... it was on when my kids were young enough to watch it and you're about the same age....

The Clangers are ace! I should still have some videos of them up in the loft, I should bring them down and give them a dust!!!
Alex

..."This, is a clanger!"

Ok, whilst we are talking about old programmes. Does anyone remember the Val Doonican Show? My Mum loved him. He used to sing in a cream hand knitted jumper in a rocking chair. When I was about 5, I could sing a song of his called " Paddy McGinty's Goat"
Then she also usd to like a man called Roger Whittaker, same type of singing really.
Oh, and does anyone remember Nana Mouskouri, she was Greek, had a nice voice I seem to remember Wonder if they are still around now??
Bev.

Anybody else remember Mary, Mungo and Midge ?
I loved the way the mouse sat on the dogs nose and followed the numbers as they went up or down in the lift.
Please tell me someone else out there knows what I am whittering on about.

Yes, I remember!!!
