Nostalgia

Sunday night at the London Palladium.
Armchair theatre.
The Wednesday Play.

I remember arum lily he wore a pointy hat

Yes I do! I grew my hair to look like her, unfortunately mine would not lie straight. It waved! The effect was not the same!

does anyone remember Jennifer and the Flower Fairies - that was yonks ago

Oh yes Mamie I had forgotten that - I loved the original series with those two

Yes Patrcia Driscoll and I think she was Maid Marian in the Robin Hood with Richard Greene.

Picture Book was my favourite! It was magical...

Just Googled it - Patricia Driscoll!

Yes Mamie I have been trying to remember those for years and had forgotten Picture Book with that lovely woman whose name I don't remember, either - I can see her face. Anyone know?

Muffin the Mule was the first TV I ever saw.

Monday: Picture Book
Tuesday: Andy Pandy
Wednesday: The Flowerpot Men
Thursday: Rag, Tag and Bobtail
Friday: The Woodentops

Is that right?

Who was it who used to say to Steve Race; 'Come on, Steve, play your old joanna'? Simply cannot remember!

Champion the Wonder Horse - I can remember the theme tune as well.
Wagon Train - I was in love with Robert Horton
Fury - Another version of Champion but with a black horse.
Rawhide - Clint Eastwood replaced Robert Horton in my affections.

Anagram Result!

On a children's programme called 'Whirligig', which also featured Mr Turnip. I had a metal puppet of him!

Googled Steve Race. Apparently he did at one time play host to 'Hank the Cowboy'...I wuz right!

vaguely something is stirring in my mind soop but I cant visualise it...and why would he need a horse unless it was ''Horse Race'' or something is my memory playing tricks was the programme called ''The Race is on '' or have I been very clever and thought that one up

nellie Yes, Steve did play the piano [wearing a cowboy hat?] and in the children's programme he used to talk to a toy horse. Does anyone remember that?

I thought Steve Race played the piano did he appear on the same programme as Bert Weedon who used to play the guitar wasnt it some sort of music programme for children dont remember the horse though soop......Annika I used to like the little scottish one whose character was Jock Weir,and James Ellis who was the seargent.
Do you remember ''No Hiding place'' Johnny Briggs who went on to play Mike Baldwin in Corrie was in it...I was about 8 at the time,and I used to watch Gideons Way with John Gregson...used to love those sort of programmes.

I always liked Steve Race. Did he have a horse puppet on his childrens' show - or am I confusing the programme with Anita and Muffin the mule?

DH is playing music on his ipod and the tune that has come on is the theme from Z Cars , that takes me back I remember "Fancy" Smith, he was a young policeman, who is as, we know that shy, quiet man, Brian Blessed

I loved Andy Pandy and Listen with Mother at lunch times. Bonanza - the one where Hoss tries to find a leprachaun had me in stitches as a kid! My mum watched the Black and White minstrel show so I watched with her and I loved the one with the deep voice becasue he sang like my Uncle Ron did and Uncle Ron had a lovely deep nutty voice!

Dixon of Dock green was a regular Saturday night fave. Oh how we were pleased at very simple things. Not like nowadays where it's all got to be zippy and zappy and in yer face..

Mind you when I'm trying to get some peace and babysitting my gorgeous grandson The Midnight Garden does seem to do the trick. Night night higgle piggle or whtever your name is...

Skippy the Bush Kangaroo
The Magic Boomerang
Circus Boy- think that was Mickey Dolenz long before he was in the Monkees
3-2-1 with Dusty Bin

Thanks Nuttynorah Uncle Mac it was. Isn't it funny that we used to call our parents' friends 'uncle' or 'auntie'. At least I did. Nowadays it's either first names or 'Grandma GG' as my GC's friends call me. I don't like my first name used by little people.

OH, and Adrian Hill's art programmes and Tony Hart! How could I have forgotten Tony Hart!
