What were your fav TV programs when little? For me, back in the days when tv was not all day, and the viewing ended with the white dot and awful noise :)
Watch with Mother, Bill and Ben, White Horses, Fury, Champion the wonder horse, sooty and sweep, thunderbirds, are some I remember. Most in black and white :) :)
THE CLANGERS!!!!!
Pugwash, Trumpton, Camberwick Green.......Noggin the Nog....
Andy Pandy
Bagpuss.....
oh this list is endless :)

Teletubbies, Playdays and... oh no gone blank LOL... oh I loved the clangers too but reaaally hated Magic Roundabout

OOOH, like this one too!
Magic roundabout, clangers, black beauty, bagpuss, Kizzy (anyone remember that?), playschool when I was tiny. The list could also go on and on! Wonderful!!
Twizzle, Hoppity, Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds watch with Mother ( and the biggest spotty dog you ever did see!), Dr Who from behind the sofa ( realising as an adult that a set of steps would have beat the darleks). Oh I like this one as well.

i used to love "dungeons and dragons" and "rent a ghost" think thats what it was called had audrey from corrie in it as miss pop off, there was another one called "number 27" or something probably not that at all used to have a red door at the begining (any ideas??) also used to love "supergran" and "metal mickey".

Button Moon, Rainbow, Racoons (loved the theme toon), Fraggles..all classics!
I think I must be approxiamately the same age as the first two posters :)
, Dr Who from behind the sofa ( realising as an adult that a set of steps would have beat the darleks
ohhhh, yes me behind the sofa too! In fact the scarey effect stayed with me (how sad ;) ) until I visited Llangollen where the Dr Who museam was, and realised just what they were made of, and stood inside one! Wimp that I was :) :) (I was visiting with my own sons who were about 9ish :) :) )
Did anyone join the 'Tinger and Tucker' club with 'Auntie...something, can't remember now? Was that a part of watch with mother?

Grange Hill, Bag puss, THE WALTONS!, rag dolly anna, Renta Ghost, playschool (with round window, square window!) WHY DON'T YOU, (anyone remember that?)
Goodness, makes ya feel old trying to think of the programs ya used to watch as a kiddie! ha ha
And your age as well! I used to love rentaghost.

Grange Hill
Byker Grove
banana man

Used to love watching little house on the prairie on a sunday at my nan and grandads house :-)
A programme about a young boy and a witch - would love to know what its called
A programme about a talking tree in a conservatory and a young woman-anyone know what it was called?
and.....not sure i should admit this, but.......mum said if she ever wanted me to be quiet and engrossed in the tv while she made an important phone call or did the housework etc, she would put on...........(cringes) Dire straits in concertvideo - i loved it!!!!!!at an age of approximately 4 upwards ;-)
With Auntie Jean!!!! yep and my OH has a Blue Peter badge.,
oh yeah...blue peter, i wrote a letter to them once and got a badge, but when i hit my teenage years i threw it out becuase it thought it was so uncool. What an idiot, wish i had it now!
They sell as Antiques and collectors bit around £50 - £100 depending on condition and if you have the letter!!!
YOU'RE JOKING???!!!!!
I had kept the envelope, letter & badge for years then threw it out in a strop one day cos i wanted to be a grown up and thought a blue peter badge was so babyish!!! What an eejit!
No I trawl the Antiques markets and they are very popular as a social history, its a bit like keeping boxed toys when the first instinct is to trash the thing. Poole pottery is worth looking for as they went bankrupt, floated again and have gone again those awful blue dophins ect...

Every summer during the school holidays there was The Flashing Blade or Robinson Crusoe (in black and white)

Mr Benn - loved it and Pogles Wood which no one has ever heard of, and of course Mary. Mungo and midge
Grange Hill - Tucker era
i remember getting end to end dubbed black & white programs during the holidays and I hated them -(White Horses and Sebastien are two I particularly hated), we were in Scotland too so our holidays were always half over before the programmes came on as the Beeb only showed them during the English school holidays :-( Oh how we moaned about that.
We used to love Star trek too , still do :-D
