The fall guy with lee majors, secret squirrel, dangermouse,

and the saturday morning programmes, saturday swapshop etc..

But what about the old computer games as well lol :)

Re: Favourite Childrens TV Programmes of the past!
 

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.

Re: Favourite Childrens TV Programmes of the past!
 

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.

Re: Favourite Childrens TV Programmes of the past!
 

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.

Re: Favourite Childrens TV Programmes of the past!
 

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!
 

Fall guy was quality and what about the orginal starsky and hutch!

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.

Re: Favourite Childrens TV Programmes of the past!

Keops erm cant remember any of the others!

I like Dangermouse as well couldnt wait for it to come on, David Jason whooooooo wat a star!

Re: Favourite Childrens TV Programmes of the past!
 

It was a pretty dreadful programme, wasn't it, by today's standards? I've got to admit, though, at the age of 10 I thought H L was wonderful. :p

I remember Robin Hood very well, with Richard Green and Patricia Driscoll. Little John was Scottish and I could never work out what he was doing in Sherwood Forest. I didn't watch Ivanhoe much, Roger Moore, wasn't it?, and soon graduated to Six Five Special, with Don Lang and his Frantic Five, and then Oh Boy! I was madly in love with Joe from The Dallas Boys when I was 14. :D

Re: Favourite Childrens TV Programmes of the past!

Re: Favourite Childrens TV Programmes of the past!
