Otherwise Muppet Babies was my ultimate favourite

Geordie Racer! Anyone remember watching this in school?

 

[FlipFlop0706]

Think so! Off to Amazon now to hunt it down!

finally, someone else has seen it, thank you!!!! (Thank you for not leaving me hanging!)

I loved that show so much but it didn’t last long at all. I can still sing the whole theme tune without prompting! My parents must have been super quick to get the toys.

I used to think I was cool like Dotty or cute/smart like Portia. And then I remember watching one episode and realising I was a spoilt vain stuck up sheep like Woolma. A genuinely life changing moment for me. (The episode was about her birthday and I think she ran away because she didn’t get enough attention.)

(Was hoping you’d know it since you mentioned the wuzzles!)

 

[ChloChlo]

Rude Dog and the Dweebs.

My siblings liked Thunderbirds which felt like it went on forever.

I hated Newsround and Blue Peter, mainly because they would signal my TV time was up.

Anyone else remember when Mario Bros and Donkey Kong had their own shows?

I used to love the queens nose round the twist and sweet valley high.. I’ve been getting my oldest to watch them with me

 

[Bitofthebubbly]

Does anyone remember Ocean Odyssey on cbbc? Bit of a weird one but it was so good!

 

[MyLittlePony25]

‘Wizardora, we adore ‘er!’ Yep I still remember the song.
Tots TV, Rosie and Jim, Raggydolls, the smurfs, moomin, bagpuss, bill and Ben the flower pot men, Inspector Gadget, budgie the helicopter.
zap!
the queens nose and of course, Tracey Beaker!

Oh and I grew up with 3 brothers so there was a lot of ninja turtles and power rangers...

 

[Happy Lady]

I was lucky enough to receive an email from Mr Benn once! Or at least from Ray Brooks, the actor who voiced Mr Benn. He is quite a talented chap really.

Some childrens programmes I can remember -
The Woodentops
Andy Pandy
Bill & Ben
The Magic Roundabout
Banana Splits - I used to love the cartoon serials that were shown. The Arabian Knights and The Three Musketeers.
The ghosts of Motley Hall
Does anyone remember the serial Children of the stones - a genuinely scary series set in Avebury Wiltshire. They gave it another name in the series. Avebury is well worth a visit.
That will do for now, more to come.

Yep, that's my era too. So you just enjoyed Watch With Mother.

Spotty Dog was great and Little Weed

 

[JOHN1967]

Captain Pugwash, Wombles
Paddington
Tiswas

I hated Newsround and Blue Peter, mainly because they would signal my TV time was up.

I remember Magic Roundabout being in the 5.35 pm slot and enjoying it but also finding it depressing, because after that it was time for the grown-up stuff like the news. I never found Blue Peter interesting in itself but sat through it to get to MR or whatever was in that final slot, plus John Noakes and Lesley Judd were friendly, familiar faces and like a teacher whose subject you didn't like but they were nice as a person.

At least I'm not the only one that found Blue Peter a bit of a bore fest. My mum once made me take part in a design an energy saving lightbulb competition and I questioned my abilities when a poorer drawer than I won it. It being picked at random was too much for me to fathom but the presenters sat in a panel judging thousands of children's drawings wasn't.

These were all the shows I knew my late mum adored growing up! I have just put Watch with Mother on for my one year old on youtube. He isn't glued to it as he would do to modern kids shows as it's in B&W but equally he hasn't protested over it and has shown interest to The Herbs especially! he usually would protest if his usuals aren't on in the morning which is so nice. My house feels so calm. How amazing and beautiful is "mothers" voice and accent though! She is so soothing! If anyone finds ASMR soothing they would really enjoy Watch With Mother! He is still interacting with me, yet he is still enjoying it! Definitely will be something we are doing more of!

my god my dream as a child was to be on fun house. I remember my grandma was always really disapproving of it because it "encouraged children to make a mess"

omg I loved this! very much not of my generation but my grandma gave me the videos of it as a child. Some of it was so bizarre, like that weird island, all of it is on youtube I think

 

[Kthxbye]

Anyone remember The Riddlers? There was Riddler and Tiddler and then she became Tiddle-Up.
I used to be scared of the fairies

I think after newsround between 5.30 and 6 on BBC2 they had flash Gordon, monkey Harold Lloyd Laurel and Hardy etc. At 6 my tv time was up.

"Weird island"? Do you mean this? I loved this but haven't found many others who remember it.

Monkey? With Pigsy? That was a favourite in our house too.

My nans house all she had to entertain us was a load of taped VHS' with recordings of Flash Gordon, the Littlest Hobo, tit wild west's that went on all day and creepy, ancient, anthropomorphic cartoons which quite frankly terrified me.
