Old TV programmes remembered

Ooh Hatty Town. 🙂
Everyone lived in hats.

Big chief Bilbo is getting kinda tough...
Not sure that would be appropriate now.

I remember Torchy the Battery Boy. Think he would look a bit clunky nowadays.

Also remember Four Feather Falls, a puppet western starring Tex Tucker. There was a song in it- “Big chief friend of two gun Tex- Kai -I-kalamakula- cum a Kai a” or something similar!

My sister and I loved it!

Big Chief Caramacola! Loved Four Feather Falls.

Also Fireball XL5 had a great theme tune!

Rag tag and bobtail
Watch with MOTHER with Patricia Driscoll
Captain Pugwash
The wooden tops really used to scare me..🫣

Busy Lizzie and Little Moe.

My older son loved Hector’s House and my younger son loved Paddington.

I've thought of some more - some later than others but helped by the fact I had younger siblings!

Thundercats
Muppet Babies
Snoopy and Friends
The Muppet Show

The Banana Splits! Hooray!

Whirligig with Humphrey Lestocq was my favourite when we first had a TV in the fifties. He was the stooge to the puppet Mr Turnip.

We didn’t have a tv until after I left home so I used to listen to Children’s Hour at 5 pm ( was it) every night
but I watched a lot with my children when they were little The clangers, Magic Roundabout, Crystal Tips and Alistair , sooty, the Wombles captain pugwash, Bill and Ben,

The biggest spotty dog you ever did see!

I remember at that time, my Mum commenting that Susan Hampshire was too grown-up to portray Katie Carr.

Mind you, think of the Railway Children, the female actors were young women.

MissAdventure

I read the Katy books back to front and inside out, and over and over.
I didn't know it was on tv, though.

Same here. I only stopped reading Katy when I knew what the next sentence would be. Such wonderfully vivid characters - could they ever be adequately portrayed on screen?

I loved Rag Tag and Bobtail but Andy Pandy was favorite. I loved the Teddy. Wooden tops too with Spot the dog,
Never really like Muffin the Mule.

Oooh yes I forgot about Skippy ( the bush kangaroo) and Champion the Wonder Horse. I think Pinky and Perky, Tinga And Tucker … anyone? With Katy Kukaburra! and Bewitched and The Munsters were the first TV programmes I remember watching. There were many more family type programmes then too.

I am of the age to remember, Billy Bunter, the Wooden tops, Andy Pandy, Watch with mother, Flowerpot Men, Champion the Wonder Horse, Rin Tin Tin . Lovely memories.

Bewitched was my favourite programme of all.
I loved Flipper, and Skippy.
Oh, and Casey Jones.

Definitely the Bash Street Kids 😺 and on TV I loved Andy Pandy and Little Weed not Bill n Ben though.
Later I was obsessed with Timeslip !

Laurel and Hardy.
I love them!
When they end up with a crab in their trousers, and they're on scaffolding.

Does anyone remember Mr Pastry?

Me! I adore slapstick it always makes me giggle, even now!

Ah thanks Urmstongran! It used to make me giggle no end. I always loved watching Laurel & Hardy with their slapstick antics too.

Thank you, Granmarie.
I can't think where I went to see all these comics!

I think the Bash St kids and Minnie the Minx were in the Beano, MissAdventure. Desperate Dan and Dennis the Menace were in the Dandy?

Which comic had the Bash Street kids?
Desperate Dan?
Minnie the Minx, and Dennis the Menace?

Also ‘Billy Bunter’.

Wouldn’t be allowed now, talking about fat people and school bullying.
