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.

    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
