C.H.I.P.S (I Wanted to marry Eric Estrada
There were loads of great programmes. When I see them occassionally now on UK Gold, it makes me laugh.

Hi two chipolatas, if you think Eric Estrada was funny, when I was a LITTLE girl, I told my mum I was going to marry Prince Charles.....Big ideas and poor taste, lol, love form 2BOT XXX

Hello 2BOT :D
Prince Charles Oh Dear :o That is very sad :D But I have to say he has produced two nice looking lads :D
I was also convinced that One day David Hasselhoff would meet me one day and fall madly in love with me and we would go cruising into the sunset in K.I.T.T :D :D

Love
2C

I have a hankering for KIT, as due to very poor sight, I can't drive. Life these days seems to revolve around cars. Can't realistically get to an6y dog shows without one, so am reliant on getting lifts!

Im still hoping that the same would happen with me and Joe Lando. Sadly, Im still waiting too lol

Donny Osmond forever. :o
Dot

lol Dot :D

Robin Hood (Staring Richard Green) I had a thing for Maid Marion :p

Not a TV program but I've always wanted an "Elvis Machine"

Whatever is an Elvis Machine ?

A 1958 pink Cadillac!

oohhhhhh Sexy :D :D

Ali I think we must be about the same age;) You've mentioned mine, except I also liked the $6000000 Dollar man, I soooooo wanted someone to come and make me bionic:D
Oh and the Incredible Hulk:D
I rmemember my aim in life was to able to stay up late enough to watch all of Coronation St, not just up to the first adverts.
And then my next stage was being able to watch all of Dallas:D

One of my fave more reccent ones was Red Dwarf:D My mum and I loved it but dad would leave the room:D

Anyone remember Man from Atalntis, now that was before he became Bobby Ewing in Dallas!

Yes Brainless, now that was another 'classic':D

Hi Anita :D and Melody
Just for your info I will be reaching the grand old age of 30 in January !!!!
But I am sure that i really should be older than that ;) Wise beyond my years and all that ;)
Another classic I forgot was Wurzel Gummidge and does anyone remember Metal Mickey?

Well that's close enough Ali;) Oh Aunt Sally yes, and I remember metal Mickey too:D

Hi Alic-C and Reefer

Was just thinking the same - that you guys must be the same age as me, on the basis of your favorite programmes! I read somewhere once that if at any point in your life you thought it was cool to get into your car through the window, you are officially old!

Not quite 30 yet though so safe for a month or two ...

I even had a Wonder Woman outfit, which my mum made for me. Yikes.

no sorry i didnt go that far even though with wonder woman, but i did try to turn round as fast as i could so my clothes would change. I used to be so dizzy after but carried on trying i was convinced my clothes would change, always wondered why they didnt .

Yeah, looking back now WW had pretty lame powers ... I mean, bullet proof bangles are a bit girlie. Saying that though, she was an inspiration to me, though I never did quite master that jumping up high buildings thing.

Hmm, thinking about it, the lasso of truth would come in handy (as in "so you DO fancy your PA you bast***!!!")

Hi Jo :)

I am a real oldie now. Officially into my 30's as of January just gone :(

And i now enjoy gardening!!!!! :o :o and watch Alan Titchmarsh :o :D
I tell my son to turn his music down
I go to garden centres on sundays
I drink ovaltine before bed!!!!
Oh Dear!!!!!

Ali :D

Hey Ali and Reefer, I think that I'm also in your age range. Tom Selleck was my guy. Now don't laugh everybody but my fav. was and still is John Ritter, don't see enough of him here in England though, except when the early afternoon films are on. Fell in love with him when he was in the Walton's. I do have very weird tastes though, I remember when I was in my teens I wanted a mix of the above two and Michael Elphick, maybe that's why I'm still single!

Ach ..you must be a bit younger than me and phil then Ali ......do I wait for Phil to thump me now I wonder? :D

How about Rock Follies ..anyone else remember that?

Melody

Me ? Thump you? Never!! (My arms are not long enough) lol :)

Your bits of twine are though Phil (you could kick her ;) ) only joking of course

ali, i was very smitten with eric estrada as well, i loved chips, can't remember the kids programme but it was shari lewis and i think larry the lamb and dobbin the horse it may have been one of the watch with mother ones,wooden tops loved spot the dog, trumpton, avengers with joanna lumley, sweeny,does any one know the one that was usually on a sunday night that had the old music hall theme people were dressed in old fashion clothes and at the end they used to sing down at the old bull and bush, god i think thats what they were singing,this is going to bug me now as can't remember the title, name that tune with tom oconnor,321, golden shot with bob monkhouse, opportunity knocks hughy green,oh that programme was it the good old days.tina

Hi Tina :)
Name that tune was fantastic :)
Another tv classic has got to be Treasure Hunt, :D With Anneka, Kenneth, Wincey and Keith the pilot, Graeme and Frank the cameramen :D ;D Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tina, it was The Good Old Days, recorded in a theatre in Leeds. They actually still perform it but not for tv. And I loved Shari Lewis and Lambchop:)
Lynn x

You've nicked all my favourites Philippa. Although I am afraid to confess I thought Andy Pandy was a girl until I was in my 20's. Well he did go to bed with Looby Lou (SP) didnt he :D :D

Gina

Gina ..I thought Andy Pandy was a girl too ;)

Melody

Oh good glad I am not the only one !!! :D

Sorry Gina lol :(

I am a bit late in this but:-
Irma Ogden was Ken Barlow's sister (I think) who married someone called Ogden.
Janice Long said 'Oill give it Foive' on Ready Steady Go and not Juke Box Jury which was hosted by David Jacobs and had a surprise band singer hidden whos latest release was being reviewed.

Hi LD, sorry, I disagree, Im sure it was Juke Box Jury :)

what about 'Bannanna Splits ?? Fliegel Dingo Drooper and George !!!! ( is that right ? thats how I,ve sung it for years ! ) and the cartoon in the middle ' shazam ' I wanted to be the one who could turn into any animal --size of a horse ( be carefull what you wish for ;) )
liz

Irma Ogden was Stan and Hilda's daughter. How could I forget Champion the Wonder Horse and of course Fury (on the other side).

Does anyone remember a childrens programme where the main character could make his arms and legs grow longer
