What was your favourite childhood tv programme?

Oh yes of course, Black Beauty, also a favourite book, along with Heidi. Wonderful memories.

Captain Scarlet.
Randell and Hopkirk (deceased)

The ghost and mrs Muir.

When I'm having a cleaning spree (which isn't very often) my DH calls me Mrs Scrubbit. She was the cleaner in The Woodentops.

Up there at the top of my chart would have to be Mr. Pastry!
I love slapstick it really makes me giggle.

Didn't have TV until I was 17. I left home at 19 and they were everywhere.

Oh Heidi

Black Beauty

And my second best would have to be the gorgeous Clint walker as Cheyenne Bodie. At the age of 10y I think I fell in love with him. Strong, kind and gentle he roamed the West in the days after the US civil war.

Some of you are very young - my children loved many of these.

Robin Hood and The Lone Ranger.
I also loved one which ran for a short time called Queen's Champion in 1958. Frazer Hines was in it and I recognised him when Emmerdale began.

Picture Book - Mondays
Andy Pandy - Tuesdays
Flowerpot Men - Wednesdays

Just don't ask me what I did last week?‍♀️

Lamb Chop.

And finally coming in at No. 3 would be the famous ‘Mr. Ed’ and Wilbur.

“A horse is a horse, of course of course
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.”
? ?

He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.

He's always on a steady course.

Talk to Mr. Ed.

Grandma70's
We could not afford a tv so it was the radio and childrens hour then, shows my age,I was allowed to listen to as a treat , Paul Temple or Dick Barton Special Agents.

Prudence Kitten. (no one ever remembers her)
Muffin the Mule; I was distraught when Annette Mills died.
I remember Frazer Hines as Jan in The Silver Sword, 1957.

And seventy one year old me enjoys watching Spirit with my six year old granddaughter, we are equally enthralled.

Back to the thread
My very first crush was Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates in Rawhide.

There was a Brady bunch type of programme with Fred McMurray. Anyone know what I’m on about?

Just come to me, I think it was called ‘My three sons’. I remember enjoying that.

Oh gosh yes Champion the Wonder Horse, Skippy and Flipper!

Didn’t have tv until I was 12/13 but before that I managed to make friends with two girls who’s family did have a set ?
So popped into their houses as often as possible.
I remember liking all sorts of things ( almost anything) including Take Your Pick, and Sunday Night At The London Palladium. Also remember Mr Ed and Four Feather Falls.
When we did get a set I had to watch anything that my Mother wanted to watch ( an eclectic mix!)

Champion the wonder horse
Later Bonanza

Pathfinders to Mars/Venus. I think a lot of children’s programmes were regional back then and it took me 40 years to find someone else who watched it. I watched A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood the other day and I think Fred Rogers influenced children’s programmes in the U.K., eg Playschool. The. Children of the New Forest was a favourite but only because I had a crush on Humphrey. I preferred Fury to Champion because he was darker and I like dark horses.

Bill and Ben ,I loved them! Also the Woodentops. But being a Sarf East London child I always found understanding the terribly,terribly posh presenter a problem>!!!??

Belle and Sebastian

Champion the Wonder Horse and Robert Horton in Wagon Train. [sigh]

We used to love Topo Gigio.
