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...

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
