Favourite childhood TV programmes?

[ratty]

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!

Animal Magic with the great Johnny Morris. Thanks to him I know what accents giraffes, elephants and monkeys speak with.

Great theme tune to boot.

... 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.

[ratty]

Just remembered that mine was Murphy's Mob!

[Keef]

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!

[jumpinjackflash]

I have an Alf in my airing cupboard - me ma bought it for me from Woolies in Rye Lane many, many years ago!

[buggie]

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

[Brendan]

Anyone remember Duck Tales?

Although if I am going to be honest I was already a teenager when that was on.
