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.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
