Joanl Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I remember, like SheShe, Muffin the Mule. Perhaps, SheShe, you also watched Whirligig, introduced by Humphrey Lestoq. I think Mr. Pastry used to be on that programme too. That was in the very early days (1951/1952-ish) (9 inch screen Black and White TV at my late Aunty's home; sitting under the Dining table with my cousin watching "THE BOX"! Biscuits and "pop" on demand too. What happy days they were. *sigh* I understand Mr. Lestoc committed suicide some few years later. I was very sad when I read of his demise. Yayyy at last someone else that remembers Whirligig:thumbsup: Normally when I ask anyone they just give a strange look and say "no?" as if I'm completely potty instead of just partly. I couldn't remember any of the people in it though, only Mr Turnip... I also remember "Heidi" and the Richard Greene "Robin Hood" and of course Roger Moore as "Ivanhoe". Oh happy days, I haven't imagined something that didn't exist:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleke95 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 just remembered Lizzy Dripping, used to love that one! That's what I have been racking my brains about. A girl who had a secret friend who happened to be a witch! Brilliant - the kids these days don't know what they are missing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chattycathy Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Does anyone remember the one about a little boy who lived in a transport cafe with his family. His mother always ended up saying "Oh Joe". And what about my kids favourites - Thomas the Tank Engine, Fireman Sam, Postman Pat, Thundercats and even Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles - oh and Power Rangers.

artisan Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 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 many moons ago Many of the above are now criminal offences The earliest one I can remember is 'Listen with Mother' and also 'Childrens Favorites with Uncle Mac'. My mother got me and my sister a song played on it, it was something about tooth brushes, and was by Max Bygraves I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kezzzza Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Was THREADS the one about the effects of a nuclear bomb ? Am I thinking of the correct one, cause I think we had to watch that at school as well. Yep, it was made in Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
