Any nature programmes, The Flashing Blade - excellent theme tune (as was Robinson Crusoe's ), and ans African one called "Yao" that had lots of wilderness scenes and some very educational scenes of very topless and very lovely (and to my young mind - very educational !)tribal ladies.

i can remember fireball XL5 ,captain pugwash ,ivor the engine and pinky and perky .
Hectors House.
Still wonderful after all these years
Captain Pugwash... remember it well. Did the crew really include Master Bates, Seaman Staines and Roger the Cabin Boy, or is that just an 'urban myth'?
My parents let me watch 'Quatermass and the Pit" when I was little and I had nightmares for days! Still have yet to see any SF that's as good as Nigel Kneale's stuff.

Couple of my favourite programmes from when I was young were Rentaghost and Crackerjack ( 5 to 5 on a Friday lol).....before you all say I'mreally old for remembering the time...I am sporodically reminded of the time and day by my elder siblings as it was also the time and day I was born on many years ago now.
Can't really say I remember watching much else as I was a child that was always playing out in the fresh air any weather, especially the snow...the deeper the better fun and loads of sledging too
TV Programmes? Luxury, bloody luxury. There were 54 of us, lived in hole in middle of A1. Only moving pictures we ever got to see was by walking miles to watch ourselves reflected in puddle in pothole in middle of A639.
We weren't allowed to watch puddle in daylight of course that was reserved for t' posh kids who lived in t' other hole in middle of A1(M). We had to use starlight and once a month, full moon IF we were lucky.
We were so poor we had to take turns at dodgin' traffic. After watching puddle, those of us who had survived traffic had to walk across fields in bare feet, walking on roads was not for the likes of us, we could only dream of pavements. We had to get to mill, work a 30 hour day, pay miller for priviledge of working in mill. Then we had to walk back across fields, couldn't have anything to drink or puddle would have run dry and there would have been nothing to watch.
Once we got home, Father would beat us to death with barbed wire if he thought we had been watching anything in t' adult puddle.
We were happy though, and if you tell young people that today they just won't believe you.
With apologies to the 4 Yorkshiremen
