Noggin the Nog, Pogles Wood from when I was very young.


Chorlton and the Wheelies - loved the fact that Chorlton was from...... well Chorlton really


Mr Ben was an absolute fave as was Mary, Mungo and Midge, a cartoon about a girl who lived in a high rise with her dog mungo and mouse midge (prompted me to name my first gerbil midge it did!)


Fingerbobs - Yoffi lifts a finger, and a mouse is there, yoffie lifts another and a seagull takes the air. Yoffie lifts a finer and a scampi darts about. Yoffie bends another, and a tortoise head peeps out!

... happy to have the remaining 4 points!!


use to love Blue Peter (remember wanting to dress just like Sarah Greene!!), and also loved Rentaghost, Crackerjack with Stu Francis and The Great Soprendo.


As I got older Byker Grove was a must see, as was Press Gang - was broken hearted when I discovered Dexter Fletcher wasn't really american.... even more so when I saw him over 10 years ago and found he wasn't much taller than me (I'm only 5ft 2").


Still have a bit of a guilty pleasure crush on Pip Schofield!!

What was the TV Program that had this as a theme tune.....


Everywhere ya go everything ya see,

Someone saying NO it's a tragedy,

Find another place cos you can't stay here,

I don't want any lip so there,

You know it's gonna be alright if we stick together,

We're gonna have a fine fine time if we stick together,

No more mindless empty days.


It was set around Derby Football Club if memory serves correctly and once had Alan Biley in it.

For the full 10 points you would have to start from the begining, which used to go a little something like this:


Dashing and daring

Courageous and caring

Faithful and friendly

With stories to share


All through the forest

They sing out in chorus

Shagging your women

And drinking your beeerrrrrrr.

There's a place that keeps on calling me,

Down the road that's where I'll always be.

Every stop I make, I make a new friend,

Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again!


So if you wanna join me for a while,

just grab your hat, come travel light that's hobo style!

Lordship_bod - think The Krankies did pop up on Crackerjack but can't remember if they were on every week - remember the Chuckle Dogs (who took off their dog outfits and became the Chuckle Brothers).


Brendan - blimey - you must have really liked the Gummie Bears - I curtsey to your superior knowledge

Who needed the Crankies when you had the genius that was Peter Glaze.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
