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!

My favourite thing about Duck Tales was the theme tune.

"Don't you open that

because there's something down there!"

And can anyone remember Orm and Cheep?

None of my friends can ever remember this programme. It used to make me cry because Cheep couldn't fly! :(

I must admit I was a big Turtles fan.

[Cassius]

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)

[DaveR]

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......"

My brother had the Turtles wall paper on one side of his room and I had pink flowers on my side of the room....no wonder I'm confused :-S

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 remember loads of the above. I used to like watching The Monkees, possibly the original contrived Boy Band? Anyway they were good.
