But does anyone remember that version of Robinson Crusoe that was screened in the mornings during the summer holidays. Boy I just loved that show and it seemed to go on and on and on, measuring out the endless summers episode by episode.


Oh, and The Clangers was total TV genius.

The beeb just put up a story on Monkey (proper name Saiyuuki) here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7520243.stm


I have the recent remake of the series mentioned in the comments along with a movie with much of the same cast that came out last year in Japan, which are both well worth watching, it just shows that a good story really does stand the test of time!

I literally came on to post about Monkey Magic as I just fell across it on a webstie, I absolutely loved loved loved that show.. For years all the kids I knew did the funny finger waving thing he does when calling the cloud!! Just remembering that has made me laugh out loud!

Singing Ringing Tree (the NFT put it on about 15 years ago)

Robinson Crusoe

Belle and Sebastian

White Horses

Blue Peter (not allowed to watch Magpie - commercial TV - shudder)

Magic Roundabout

Some strange programme about people with magic powers - can't remember its name but it was scarey.

Banana Splits with the cartoon where the magician takes the shape of animals (size of a mouse/donkey/elephant/whatever)

Banana Splits - the cartoon was the Arabian Nights, and they also had a cartoon version of the Three Musketeers. I remember the cartoons well, but nothing about the rest of the show. Except the theme tune of course;


"la la la, la la la la, la lal la, la la lal al......"

I have just read that after all this time, they're making a film of The Mysterious Cities of Gold, and 3 brand new series! Just as long as they keep the original theme tune!


I remembered another one.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
