What made me suspicious was the bit each week where he leant on his front gate, watching all the children go by....

I know. Talk about unresolved issues

Mary Mungo and Midge made me want to live in a tower block so badly, so I could ride in a lift everyday. Then bingo! When I was 10 I got a friend who happened to lived on the 17th floor of a tower block. Although I had outgrown the programme I remember how exciting I thought it was travelling up to her flat to see her.

Hey Arnold, Rugrats, As Told by Ginger, The Wild Thornberries, Recess, SpongeBob, Pinky and the Brain, Kim Possible, Arthur, Dexter's Laboratory, All That, Clarissa Explains, Ren & Stimpy, Sabrina, Kenan & Kel, Sister Sister, The Amanda Show, Moesha, anything with Mary Kate & Ashley.

Basically Nickelodeon, with a bit of Cartoon Network and the Disney Channel. I can still remember the old 90s Sky menu and how Cartoon Network was at the top, Nickelodeon was in the middle and Disney was at the bottom. Anyone remember that? lol. All my friends watched British shows like My Parents Are Aliens and Tracey Beaker but I'd never seen them.

Tracey Beaker is about a girl in a children's home. My oldest son used to watch it years ago and told me a few times he wanted to live in one because they seemed fun. Certainly not!

I had Cable as a kid. They had games on there such as Steve Sweep, Blox and Rex, Skullduggery, etc. But no one I know remembers them.

Anyone remember a CBBC drama in the 90s called see how they run? It was about a family in a witness protection programme and quite frankly it was bloody gripping!

This one?

Sounds like something I would enjoy, but missed it. 1999 was my era, too. It must've clashed with something on CITV.

I think I mentioned some of the more mature shows I watched a few pages back. I am unsure but just to list a few... You Bet. Anyone remember that? Gladiators, you've been framed with Jeremy Beadle, BlockBusters, Noel Edmonds House Party - Mr Blobby, Top Of The Pops, Blind Date, Goodness Gracious Me (I loved this show!), 999 and always watched a vetinary programme hosted by Rolf Harris.

Animal Hospital I think was the one with Rolf - I never liked him back than, always putting his arm around the women.

I loved You Bet with Matthew Kelly. Can still hum the theme tune. I was talking about it a few weeks ago with family and NO ONE remembered it! Thought I'd dreamed it all up!

Saturday night telly was great back then. The Generation Game and Bullseye were other faves.

Yup that’s the one! Honestly, I remember my mum briefly watching a bit and being all “I don’t think this is suitable for children!” before settling down to watch it with us every week! 😂 The dad was an accountant for a drug dealer called the gorgon who then went after them therefore they were put into witness protection. I think the family dog was killed as a warning or this could be my imagination?

Literally should have been on as an itv drama after the watershed not on bloody cbbc! 😂
