Eleke95 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 We were talking the other day at playgroup about the programs that kids like and we got onto our old favorites from the seventies when we were little. Most of them I could remember. Are there any here that you remember? Which were your favorites and why? Rainbow, Hickory House, Pipkins, Charlton and the Wheelies, The Clangers, The Herbs, Michael Bentines Potty Time, Magpie, Grange Hill (with Tucker, Zammo, and Trisha Yates!) Sorry if this has been discussed before. I did do a search and couldn't see anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julz Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Pob was the one I loved the most. Pipkins was one of my favs along with Charlton and the Wheelies (which I've even got my son into heheh). Grange Hill (still watch it occasionally - I know, I'm sad Also used to love runaround? with Mike Reid aka Frank Butcher although he used to scare me a lil bit (not as much as Spike Milligan did though!) Sport Billy, Jamie and his magic torch, Mr Benn, Roobarb and Custard, Bagpuss and The lil boy/girl who was shaped like a keyhole who's name I can't remember are also fondly remembered.

SheShe Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 don't think they're in the same era but my earliest fave was Muffin the mule and I loved Rag Tag and Bobtail when my kids were little many moons ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleke95 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 God, you can remember some good ones. I'd forgot all about sport Billy! In fact most of the ones you mentioned! Mr. Benn - brill. Bagpuss, still love that. I'll try and think of some more. What about Jackanory? Mind you I hated that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kezzzza Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 There was a programme i used to like but cant think for the life of me what it was called. It was about some kids that lived in a house and i think they were all adopted or summat (and he was in it who has just been in eastenders,the bloke that tried to kill himself and his daughter,Owen).
