[GinAndTonic4Life]

The Poddington Peas was very random - fab theme tune though. "Down at the bottom of the garden..."

 

[dm2022]

I used to sneakily watch Eurotrash

Bizarre program

Me too!! I used to love it but at the same time wonder how were they showing this stuff on a ‘normal’ channel (albeit late) because I’d never seen anything like it

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

At primary school we watched Through the Dragon's Eye. The absolute excitement when the TV was rolled in on wheels

 

[elena22]

I remember “Game On” Anyone else remember “Coupling”?

 

[Fiona18]

My So Called Life with Claire Danes and a young Jared Leto
Children's Ward
Saturday morning live shows such as Ghost train with Jenny Powell and Motormouth

 

[Thanks a million]

Remember Tea bag?? I can’t remember the full name but used to love that. Show! And round the twist, are you afraid of the dark, goosebumps, eerie Indiana … I’m sure there’s more I need to think!

 

[DCICassieStuart]

The raccoons has the best theme tune of all time

Life would be simple in the forest except for ......
Cyril Sneer ......

Speaking of Sugar Rush, I always thought that the girl who played Sugar (who I had to look up, her name is Lenora Chrichlow) was gorgeous.

[iLoveNectarines]

Does anyone remember wild house(?) Idk if it was the girl from the queen's nose or just a similar looking blonde girl and she loved animals or something

The brother would say "I bet David Attenborough never has this trouble" or something like that


What was the programme where the parents got hypnotised and then when a certain word was said it would make them act like children but they didnt know what word it was?

 

[Pinkii]

Saved by the bell and alk the other rip off’s like:
California dreams
Hang time
Usa high
Malibu

Basically if anyone remembers the channel trouble? Everything on that

Student bodies was a great one
2 of a kind with the olsen twins- rewatched a few eps on youtube recently. Great show.

El Nombreee.... Writing numbers in the desert sand ... El Nombreee!!! My fave little mouse!

I still sing this all the time

The ones that come to mind which haven't been mentioned yet are Agent Z And The Penguin From Mars (which I only found out relatively recently was written by Mark Haddon and starred Reggie Yates), Aquila (pretty cool sci-fi, involving some kids finding an alien spaceship), Five Children and It (which is relatively famous, iirc) and The Demon Headmaster (Which is very famous, and to be honest I never found it that scary. The sequels went a bit strange)

Thank you for saying Aquila! I've been trying to describe it to people for years and no-one remembers it. I was beginning to think I'd made it up Another one that no-one seems to remember is Pig Heart Boy.

Some great shows have been mentioned already. I always liked Wizadora, Hangle the coathanger cracks me up Also Come Outside, Oakie Doke, How 2, The Ghost Hunter (I remember the author came to my primary school), 50/50, The Animals of Farthing Wood. I've fallen down a massive YouTube rabbit hole and feel really old!

As well as others mentioned here I used to love grotbags, raggy dolls, stop it and tidy up, count duckula and the trap door.
Also loved strange but true even though it used to scare me lol

 

[rather not stop]

I couldnt watch Jeopardy - it made me seasick!

The queens nose frustrated me because they would always wish for something ridiculous that was bound to backfire even if the wishes weren't a monkey's paw bargain.
I remember one episode a girl (probably Harmony) wished for unlimited Spaghetti. Not even spaghetti bolognese, just straight up pasta.

Anyone else watch the raggy dolls? Low budget cartoon made before my time.

El Nombre - a counting-obsessed Mexican (?) Chipmunk (?) inspired by Zorro.

Magic Grandpa - we watched this in school.

It's a mystery - Gail Porter, Neil Buchanan and someone else on CITV. This show freaked me out so much.

El Nombreee.... Writing numbers in the desert sand ... El Nombreee!!! My fave little mouse!

The Magic Envelope/Letter? Cant remember which, but remember loving it at school.

 

[HaggisInMyBin]
