I've just been reading a post and in it someone mentioned Chorlton and the Wheelies .... I used to love that TV show. Now that I often have to put up with kids TV, I think that it is just nothing compared to TV when I was growing up. I mean Boobah and in the night garden ... ffs!!! Although Peppa Pig can be quite funny .... OMG how sad am I?!?!?!?
I also loved the Flumps!!! Oh and Phillip Schofied with Gordon the Gopher in the broom cupboard ...ppphhhhwwaaarrr .... loved him ....(Phillip not Gordon!!)
What was your favourite TV shows as a kid)???
Kojak
oh, kids programmes.... Clangers.
lp
Mr Ben of course.
Bagpuss - the original not the cartoon version ffs.
Vision On.
All originals - not warmed up rehashes of stuff that used to be good and has now had all the goodness sucked out of it by the 'let's not offend anyone - even if they wouldn't be offended anyway' brigade.
In edit:
Oo oo oo - Jackanory. Real stories with REAL plots; read (often) by trained actors who can bring it alive. Or The Tales of Littlenose read by the author - 15 minutes of heaven 5 days a week.
me and perky currently sat side by side on the sofa singing along to this........................

It's Friday, it's five to five, it's Crackerjack. Our TV caught fire during an episode of that!

Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky.
Willo the Wisp and Trapdoor.
And when my oldest was small, Pinky and the Brain.
I always thought David Seaman would be the ideal choice to do Chorlton's voice in any remake. Fenella was the Witch who shared an uncanny resemblance to Edwina Currie I felt.
Do you remember Button Moon? How crap was that? Made for 10p with a black blanket and any old shite they could turf out of the back of the old art cupboard. "Oh look, here comes Mr Pre-decimilisation 2 shilling piece and his friend little Miss bent paper clip". Fingerbobs was the same. Rolled up paper mice... it's no wonder we turned out like we are and are busy fucking each other...
Bagpuss was like a bad trip on mushrooms. Talking woodpeckers and singing mice.. Just showing episodes of that would be better than any anti-drug campaign. "And Bagpuss became a big floppy, fluffy old cat. Misshapen and baggy..." I wonder where the influence for that came from. A badly stuffed pussy. I wonder.
:banghead: :banghead: 
However some kids TV today has a bit of charm, Maggie and the ferocious beast, Waybuloo, Bits and Bobs
