Are there some things that only you remember? No matter how many other people you mention it too no ones ever seen or bought it even when you thought it was the best thing ever. Two things spring to my mind. A 1980 film called "The Pumaman" Starring Walter George Alton as the Pumaman and Donald Pleasence as Dr Kobras (The bad guy). Only me and a friend who would hire this every week on VHS seem to remember it no one else of our age group that we speak to ever seems to have seen it. Its a shame I never bought the VHS seems to have become a rarity asking from 60-120 on Amazon :shock: Gota love the music And if I tweeked your interest here's the trailer. The second thing is Findus Fish feasts No one remembers these they were like my fave thing to eat when I was 12-15. Square bread crumbed parcels full of cheese sauce and fish they were yummy. Was devastated when my Mum came back from Asda and said that Findus had stopped producing them Not a picture or anything to be found on Google, I cant even drool over them :cry:
A TV series called Automan, where the main character was digital and drove something like a Lamborghini with fluorescent stripes/lights. He had a sidekick who was a man and whenever he went round a corner he did instantly at 90degrees forcing the "real" man against the passenger window lol A film called "Theatre of Blood" Where Vincent Price is a rubbish actor/director who insists on only doing Shakespeare plays. Well all the critics pan him and his productions so he decides to kill them in the style of a Shakespeare play; i.e. Merchant of Venice with his pound of flesh ;o) Superbly funny scene when he's trying to cut a blokes head off as his wife is lying next to him in bed...and the aftermath lmao
Quote by Mr-Powers LOL. The film looks brilliantly bad....just checked and Donald Pleasence claimed this to be the worse film he ever made.
Its is terribly bad when I look at it now As stated its rare never have seen it aired on TV if you really want to? Its on Youtube but its Mystery science theatre 3000 showing so you get the annoying twats on it.

I can recall Automan but not much of what it was about. No dice on the film though sounds interesting. I am assuming it was pretty awful?
Quote by flower411 Muran Buchstansangur and Johnny Jarvis . Both Tele programmes, nobody else appears to remember them ! "I want to be a tree" by Tim Pope
Well done 3 out of 3 Flower. I can recall the name Johnny Jarvis but had I not Googled it wouldn't have known that it was a TV series. The Wikipedia description for Muran Buchstansangur just sounds odd :lol: I'll have to look at the Youtube footage later.

I remember that a bit, think it was a bit like a low budget Tron
Quote by flower411 Muran Buchstansangur
Remember that too, looked like a grey nose on legs with the most miserable voice over ever. I remember an american show from the early 80s (or maybe late 70's) called BJ and the bear (what were they thinking? it was aimed at the A-team/Knight rider audience ) and i'm sure the bear in it was a chimp....although it might have been i bear but i cant be arsed to check
Quote by Andy_Jules I remember and want if ever I could find one. A mood thingy, It was eggtimer shaped but instead of sand it was liquid, if you squeezed the bottom section and you were happy the liquid would travel from the bottom section and up to the top and bubble, the more poor your mood the less inclined it would be to bubble up the top section. My parents owned it and I wasn't allowed to touch it, never seen once since but probably now banned due to Health & Safety or similar. Andy has always wittered on about a tv programme called 'Branded' it was before his time (he reckons) but he remembers seeing it, started with a man outside of a fort having his stripes taken off.
Yep it was like an early Tron. I do remember BJ and the Bear but alas not if it was a bear...I'm surprised that no-one has that as a screen name on here tbh
A children's series from the 70's - The Flaxton Boys. Set bbetween the wars, a young lad home from boarding school with his pal (both about 10?) and their adventurews at Flaxton Hall in Yorkshire. It must have been on TyneTees TV cos no-one I have mentiuoned it to remembers it. The only thing I really remember is an opening scene of elder brother flying in to land in the grounds in a wood/fabric single winged 'plane. Also - I am convinced I am the only person that remembers my childhood. My Mum is losing the details (she is 83 after all) and I swear my sister was swapped by the body snatchers when she went to Uni cos we share absolutely NO memories and we are only 15 months apart.
I remember a program called "Marmalade Atkins"... I also remember being fixated by her presence on screen. It was quite strange actually. Im sure there is something quite tragic about what happened to her come to think of it.... :sad:

Ah, the late and still much lamented Charlotte Coleman. Wonderful in Marmalade Atkins, and even more brilliant in the TV version of Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, when she was older. She died in 2001(I think)of an asthma attack.

Quote by noladreams Pacers. Sweets, kinda like chewits but spearmint flavoured and green and white striped. :lickface:
I remember them too, and Spangles- the sweet the sort of shattered into lethal mouth ripping shards if you bit it. I also remember a fizzy drink called Quattro- it was luminous green and rather addictive....might be why they no longer make it
Reading some of the above posts has reminded me of some of the sweets i used to eat and drink as a kid. a) Pez : A peculiar little brick shaped sweet that you would get out of container with Popeye's head on it. You pulled his head back and out came the sweet. b) Fling : A soft drink that tasted of barley sugar. We used to put a spoonful of sugar in it and spray each other with the froth. c) Jamboree bags. : A bag of sweets with a dreadful little plastic toy in it stamped 'made in Hong Kong' On the outside of the bag was printed a picture of boy scouts outside a tent.

I remember Pez. You can still get them. I saw a Spider-Man dispenser by the till in Primark just this week!

The intro for Flaxton boys is on Youtube if you didnt know and want to rewatch it I remember Marmalade Atkins in name, again no idea what the content was. I remember Pacers again in name but cant picture them. Most of the rest of it since my last post has me beat though :) Well that was the idea
I remember Branded, it was a fave of mine. I cant recall the name of the square chewing gums which were full of a gloopy flavour syrup. Does anybody remember the Age Exchange Reminiscence Centre in Blackheath?
Quote by Denead Pacers. Sweets, kinda like chewits but spearmint flavoured and green and white striped. :lickface:
Yes but can you remember them before they put the green stripe in when they were just plain Opal Mints? :shock: Opal mints!?! :shock: No, really?! Gosh, you learn summat new every day on here.
