I can remember things from when I was really little, like Issi Noho (the one about the panda - don't suppose many people remember it now), Mr Ben, Bagpuss and Jamie and the Magic Torch.


Can still remember that Bagpuss episode with the chocolate biscuit factory where they keep rolling the same digestive biscuit round again and again. Though was a suprise in adult years to see the bright pink Bagpuss toys - we had a blakc and white telly till I was about 10. (Made watching the snooker entertaining!)


When I was bit older, I remember liking Rentaghost and Grange Hill and the Hanna Barbara cartoons like the Flinstones and Scooby Doo and Top Cat

Sarah and Hoppity.

(Deep breath)

Sarah Brown has a toy as naughty can be and it starts to sing when you wind up his key

He'll sing and he'll dance all over the floor and when he stands still then you wind him some more


This clip is ten mins long and I swear would horrify today's broadcasters, specially when Daddy tells her not to tell anyone he's there... gets creepy.

That's not too bad...


Can you remember Cities Of Gold too?


and the theme tune to that was ace!

I liked Hoppity too - 'He sings Twiddley Ee Dee and he sings Twiddly Ee Doo'

I liked Thunderbirds, Stingray and when I was younger Supercar and Fireball XL5.

There's somme good stuff around today just to go off topic, the Batman cartoon, Jakers and Pocoyo are groovey.

I remember issi noho about the panda. Wasn't his name something to do with what was written on the side of the wooden crate he came in? Plants obscuring the rest of the writing? I liked that too and Pipkins and bagpuss and mr benn and the tomorrow people, Blue Peter over Magpie probably cos they had resident dogs:)) follyfoot, black beauty, the singing ringing tree, weired, but I liked it:-$ grange hill, jackernory was fab too.

(Sung) Children of the Sun, see your time has just begun

Searching for your way through adventures every day

Every day and night with the condor in flight

With all your friends in tow we search for the Cities of Gold

Ahhhh-ah-ah-ah Wishing for the Cities of Gold

Ahhhh-ah-ah-ah Someday we will find the Cities of Gold!

Doo doo doo do doo, ahh-ah-ah, doo doo doo do doo Cities of Gold

oooh good thread.. I loved care bears, smurfs, fraggle rock (big favourite), degrassi junior high, scooby doo, I think it was called Teddy Ruxpin (but I think that was more my sister), my brother used to love Thunderbirds or cats (you know the puppet dudes) so I had to watch that alot and definitely He man and Shera..


As for movies - the dark crystal, Emmet Otters Jugband christmas, Annie, Wizard of Oz and the little mermaid...

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
