Best ever kids shows growing up.

[Spiderweb]

Mary Mungo & Midge.
Banana Splits (totally bonkers!)
Forgot about ‘The Tomorrow People’ mentioned above, that was brilliant.

Danger Mouse - the original 1980's version with David Jason & Terry Scott providing the main voices. And the spin off series of Count Duckula

(I'd already grown up by the time these came out, but they were bloody funny)

Not necessarily my favourite, but anything from the Children's Film Foundation takes me back to the late 70s/early 80s.

Esp, "The Glitterball"

+1 to both, I too had 'grown up' but 'duckypoos' was fantastic

They have a certain nostalgic charm.

Stingray, Fireball XL5, Doctor Who (with Patrick Troughton), Jackanory. All on a 12” B&W telly

 

[Blue Hills]

Blue Peter - I used to perv at Valerie Singleton.

never understood that to be honest - takes all tastes - I was a nice blue peter boy but did have a bit of a thing about the Magpie woman - Jenny Hanley?

 

[Drago]

Did Jim fix it for you?

He fixed it for this lad...

I loved that show, as did a nation of kids. A classmate of mine who'd had heart surgery got Jim to fix it so that he and some chums could play Arsenal. And then it was all to later come out in the wash.

Shower of young kids on here.
Andy Pandy
Flower Pot Men

 

[Bonefish Blues]

No love for How! with Fred, Jack, Bunty and the other one?

 

[captain nemo1701]

Let me see...

The Double Deckers (gave us Aswad)
The Banana Splits Good old LSD-fuelled shenanigans. I still want to drive a banana buggy!!
Any Gerry Anderson show but especially Thunderbirds. Got dead serious when Virgil's eyebrows met.
The Tomorrow People. Even today, I think 'jaunt me in Tim' whenever I meet people called Tim.
Robinson Crusoe. Imported B&W 'filler serial' that went on for about 500 episodes during those long, long hot summer holidays
The Wombles. Just hearing the theme reduces me to being about 7.
Swap Shop. The legendary Tiswas wasn't available in Tyne Tees land until the late 70's, so Swap Shop was for me.

yep i kind of liked that - must have been damn cheap to make.

 

[captain nemo1701]

I've been trying for half an hour to remember the name of that program. As a 9 year old i had a bit of a crush on the girl in the program.

By Producer Ruth Boswell who also gave us The Tomorrow People.
