Hi All

A work colleague of mine was browsing the internet the other day and found a poster company that specialises in cult programmes.

I was really pleased to find one for Chorlton and the Wheelies, one of my fav programmes when I was young (now my screensaver)But no one else in the office can remember it. I'm surely not that old!

Can anyone out there remember it? What other favourites did you have from your childhood? I was also a big fan of the Flumps and Bod (how sad)

Lets see what gems you can come up with!

Good one. Many old favourites can be found be trawling through the pictures associated with the forumites!!!
Flumps were god, as was Bod (can you remember all of the tunes?); Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine, Clangers, Babapapa.

Nowadays I'm fond of The Hoobs, Tweenies, Playdays was good (cat is hysterical), Teletubbies are not so good.

OK, so I show my age now....
How about Camberwick Green, Trumpton, Mary Mungo and Midge, Blue Peter (in Black and White), Play Away with Brian Cant, Grange Hill with Tucker Jenkins.
Watching Pot Black, the snooker programme in B & W was also a great night's telly!

'Ello Little Old Lady.

Still try to model myself on Chorlton's laid back manner.

Willow the Wisp another classic. Mr Ben....Mary Mongo and Midge....Calimero....Chrystal Tipps and Alistair.....Bagpuss.....Clangers etc etc etc.

Worst part of Mr Benn was when the shop keeper showed up at the end and you knew the adventure was over for another week...boo hoo

Dangermouse was great - I used to have to hurtle home from school to catch it. And sadly I think that was in the 6th form.
Mr Benn was a great hero of mine. He's got a guide to Life out at the moment. Quite disturbing though !
Blue Peter was ace, but not Grange Hill - it was too close for comfort to my school to enjoy that !

Still don't get the Clangers. I like the Tweenies now - especially when they do their field trips. Teletubbies was good - I saw it before all the fuss about it came out and was raving onto my mates about this great psychedelic kids prog on Sunday tv at 7am. Grown out of it now though.

It's just got to be Thunderbirds....

And the Clangers, White Horses, Belle and Sebastian.

Kids TV nowadays is not too bad providing you can cut through the crap japanese cartoons - things like Angela Anaconda, Travelling Thornberrys, Playdays, even the Tweenies are quite good.

Oh my goodness, Follyfoot! I'd forgotten that - boy did I love it. Also Black Beauty and Seven Little Australians.

Jackanory was always good as was Magpie, but only because I used to have a crsuh on Jenny Hanley!

I used to prefer Magpie to Blue Peter (Much more hippy)

I actually went out and bought Danger Mouse on DVD the other day :o)

Follyfoot was a particular favourite because of the theme tune mentioning a lightening tree. Our nearest stable had a distinctive lightning struck tree that my sister and her friends were convinced the programme was all about. Kids huh.
