Thomas the tank engine.
With Ringo Starr narating.
Talking abot classic programmes, its amazing how The Wombles got banned for being racist. It was actually taken off the screen becasue it did not have a black womble in it lol
Its back now and it has a black womble so its polically correct lol
Also, does anyone remeber Pob!
yep! you might want to get rid of that blackboard in case someone takes offence!
i used to like Mr Benn too, but he always seemed to go on Safari a lot .. or did I only ever see the same one over and over?
I watched tely on my Gran's 14 inch Bush-(yes, I know, you can't say that these days without someone asking where she kept the aerial!!-but in those days a bush was either a green leafy thing in which is was wise to have two birds to equal one in the hand, a baby President or a small television set) Anyway, it only worked intermittently and skipped about from channel to channel, which got me a little confused at times. Hence, my favourite programme was
Mr Ed Wonderhorse the Champion Kangaroo Bush....great it was.
I loved 'F' Troop, Gilligan's Isle, Whiplash, Branded, Bonanza, Robinson Crusoe, Mystery and Imagination (Saturday night, after MOTD-scared me to death).
When my children came along-(got home from work one day and there they were! Lord knows where they came from)-I loved to sit and watch Mr Ben (probably all the dressing up). and Pigeon Street (I was in love with the lorry driving lady-what was her name?)
Yep, lovely memories, I still can't look at any animal without imagining Johnny Morris' s voice eminating from it's mouth!
my sister's a teacher - and her classroom has a whiteboard and a blackboard now! The theme tune to Roobarb and Custard still rocks
Does anyone remember a cartoon called calimero i think it was on just before crossroads. i have spoken to others about it before and nobody knows what i am going on about! Is it a figment of my imagination?
