The Double Deckers, I had a desperate crush on the little girl Tiger.

All time favourite programme was Blue Peter with John, Peter and Val, after them it started to go down hill.

The Singing Ringing Tree, which I think was Czech and was dubbed into English, had a real evil dwarf that used to freak me out.

Pre-school I remember liking Watch with Mother, particularly Camberwick Green because I had a toy model of the set to carry on the story when the TV was switched off.

Couldn't stand Andy-Pandy, too good by half. I can remember Muffin the Mule before it became a perversion! BBC used to do a serial on children's TV on Sundays, at about teatime, which was always excellent.

Loads of dubbed European ones they used to show in the school hloidays like Belle and Sebastian, Treasure Island with the haunting theme tune, and the Flashing Blade.

One of the Panopticons, the Burnley one, is called The Singing Ringing Tree, and was based on this programme. I think it's German or Austrian. I don't remember it myself so to find out what it was all about I got a copy of the programme on video - definitely freaky!

Re: Favourite Childrens TV Programmes of the past!
 

Oh I feel so ancient! I watched most of the above with my children. The programme I watched as a child, on a 9" screen, was "Whirligig" with Humphrey Lestoq and Mr Turnip ( a horrendous string puppet). A very young Peter Butterworth was in that too.
