Ancient telly programmes

I was forced to watch westerns and wrestling when I was young. I used to watch Gunsmoke , Rawhide (my favourite), Bonanza and The Virginian. Wrestling was on ITV at 4pm every Saturday afternoon.

Folly foot and the amazing theme tune - Down in the meadow where the wind blows free
The Onedin Line and The Brothers
Tinger and Tucker and Auntie Jean, and the Wooden Tops

Till death do us part.

Juke Box Jury. Anyone remember that?

Bewitched.
Alan Wicker.

How about Route 66 with Ephram Zimbalist Junior and a character called Cookie - real cool!

Those Valiant Years about WW2 was tremendous.

Lots of great children's tv shows, Gary Halliday which had a very young Terence Alexander.

There was Circus Boy with Mickey Dolenz, later of the Monkees pop group.

Andy Pandy, The Flowerpot Men, The Wooden Tops, Muffin the Mule (I even had a Muffin the Mule string puppet - wish I still had it, worth a few bob).

So many 50's children's programs, in my memory, it would bore you all silly for me to relate them. Only two channels, as well, so much easier.

Cliff Richard was on Drumbeat not Six Five Special. Also Adam Faith, Billy Fury, Vince Eager et al.

Dennis Lotis was on Six Five and I remember a fan rushing up and kissing him. Shock, horror! Don Lang and his Frantic Five sang the signature tune and Joe brown and the Bruvvers were regulars. Pete Murray and Josephine Douglas introduced it. Lots of pop legends made their starts, there. Marty Wilde even met his wife on the show.

It didn't run for very long, if I remember rightly, which with my brain, may be wrong.

Gosh, I remember it. My teddies were called Bootsie and Snudge(still have them almost 60 years on?)

"I'll give it foive" used to be uttered by Janice Nicholson on an ITV programme called "Thank your lucky Stars". As I remember this used to be on at the same time as "Juke-box Jury" on BBC so it was difficult to pick which to watch. I think we used to watch ITV as it give us a chance to see our heart-throbs, Eden Kane, Billy Fury and Bobby Vee. Those were the Days!

I have memories of a programme called the cedar tree i think it was from the 1970s i can remember watching it with my nanna i havent found anyone who recalls it at all
And a soap opera on the radio called waggoners walk that no one else remembers either

'The Champions' absolutely loved it!!! Probably about 11 years old or so. Stuart Damien, William Gaunt and Alexandra Bastedea??

Yes, I loved Muffin the Mule too, and Prudence Kitten, remember her?

I disliked the Flowerpot men, although I don't know why, but loved Andy Pandy on Tuesday, Rag, Tag and Bobtail on Thursday and The Wooden tops on Friday. I watched Picture Book on Mondays too, but found it a little bit boring.

I remember Dixon of Dock Green too, and The Lucy Show.

Patricia Driscoll presented Picture Book and she was Maid Marion in the early Robin Hoods with Richard Green

Oh dear, i appear to have posted on the wrong thread. Sorry I'm a newbie?

I loved Rawhide 1959 - 1965
Gil Favor was the trail boss of a continuous cattle drive and was assisted Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood).

My favourite was Emergency Ward 10.

I also remember Dragnet; Take Your Pick; Ready, Steady, Go and, of course, Sunday Night at the London Palladium - I could go on.

77 Sunset Strip - Cookie lend me your comb.

I longed to watch Dr. Kildare but my dad had something against it. Then one evening he relented. There was a woman giving birth in a car and Dr. Kildare came to the rescue. Dad switched it off, saying it was unsuitable for a child.

Jeanlizzie I remember The Cedar Tree, I believe it was on during the day and starred Nyree Dawn Porter.
I was amazed to see someone remembering Twizzle and Torchy the Battery Boy as no-one I know has any recollection of them and yet I can even remember the song from Torchy!
One of my favourite series was Mrs Thursday starring Kathleen Harrison.

I used to enjoy watching Eldorado, believe it was filmed in Spain.

Can anyone recall When the Boat Comes In - I think James Bollam was in it, and I know I enjoyed it very much. Surprised there is no mention of Crackerjack, or The Magic Roundabout (Zebedee and Dougal). I loved the Black and White Minstrel show, and Val Doolican - his lovely song for a little girl "don't rush to grow up" Very pertinent to todays'
children, I think. Oh! getting serious, sorry

I loved Sugarfoot (Will Hutchens I think).
Cheyenne
The Flame Trees of Theka (sp)

Jeanlizzie

I remember it, my in-laws used to watch it when I first knew them, I think it was on at lunch time, also at lunchtime, they used to watch Crown Court

I too remember the song from Torchy Torchy the Battery Boy

Quatermass terrified me. I had to go to my room to avoid it. I loved The Cedar Tree serial.

I loved the Flame Trees of Thika KatyK am I remembering correctly that it starred Hayley Mills ?
