Re: Forgotten cartoons
There was a historical cartoon series called Max the 2,000 Year old Mouse where the mouse used to tell us about things that happened in the past, mostly American stuff I assume. My late father said to me that it the events mentioned all true and actually happened. Central shown it around 9.25 am on a Sunday morning circa 1987 just after David Frost wrapped up his Sunday programme on TV-am.
There were those Tex Avery cartoons that were shown opposite Coronation Street on BBC 2 on Monday evenings in the mid 1980s - they were obscure.
There was a cartoon character called Figaro who was either a cat or dog, and was a Warner Brothers creation - anyone remember that character? Reminded me of Pepe le Pew. I am certain that I saw one cartoon on Saturday afternoon ITV.
Another one was something called Christopher Crumpet - ATV had a cartoon scheduled on the day I was born!I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

It's always struck me as odd that some cartoon seemed to be shown again & again for years, but others only seemed to get one screening & vanish.
Sport Billy was shown on Central in the early to mid 1980s in the weekday morning slot when the schools programmes were off. I got a Ladybird Sport Billy Book, probably from a school jumble sale where it shows the character doing various sports. Cannot remember what the story was all about, but I assume it was similar to the plotline of the TV programme.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

There was a cartoon called Tube Mice about some mice that lived in the London Underground. It was produced by TSW so it has probably never been repeated after 1992 or released on DVD.
When was Fantastic Max shown?
Willy Fogg 2 seems to be unfamiliar despite it being shown in 1999 by the BBC on Saturday mornings.

Re: Forgotten cartoons
+ Wacky Races from '68
+ & the spin-off Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines (or renamed Dastardly and Muttley in the UK) from 1969 to 1970. The iconic song Stop the Pidgeon was the theme songsigpic
Do you really believe the other side without provocation would launch so many ICBM's, subs and ships knowing that we would have no option to launch as well? It would break our MAD Treaty (Mutually Assured Destruction) not to mention the end of the world as we know it.

A further spin-off was The Perils of Penelope Pitstop--a play on an old serial The Perils of Pauline. Pitstop was joined by the Ant Hill Mob from Wacky Races plus a new villan The Hooded Claw. Trivia...Frankie Goes To Hollywood's The Power of Love namechecks the villan "I'll protect you from the Hooded Claw..."
