So see you didnt imagine it.

Thanks, you're a star - and I'm a lazy git. I didn't even bother googling before posting my message as I remember looking for it a few years ago and there wasn't a sniff of a trace of any info about it. I'm glad to know I'm not dreaming things!

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Ive done a check and tottering towers was from 1971/1972.
So see you didnt imagine it
There where characters such as soapy cyrl and marmaduke.

i've not encountered many people who remember paulus the gnome. a great shame that not much footage of it seems to have survived.
moody and pegg - comedy-drama series.

The one programme that no-one i've spoken to seems to recall - to the extent that i'm beginning to think i might be imagining it - was tottering towers. ring any bells?

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Trying to find a show from the early 90s for ages now. I seem to be the only person who can remember it, to the point when I talk about it I'm always asked "are you sure you're not making it up?"
I can't recall much but it was British and filmed in a coastal town and could possibly have been a one off drama. I just remember the start of it was a young girl on a boat. She was a loner, possibly she was bullied, and it starts with her voice-over talking about a local witch who died centuries earlier. I think there was a stone statue of this witch that the girl became fascinated with.
I'm sure it aired in the early 90s and possibly on the Nickelodeon channel.

Was it this, Moon Dalh?

Series of shorts on 90s Nickelodeon starring two dragons setting things on fire? Hi guys, I've been looking for a set of really short cartoons that were shown on Nickelodeon between programs in the UK. They starred two dragons, one only ever said 'Balla balla!' and the other one only said 'whoossh!' and at the same time set something on fire. They would get into trouble because of this. That was the whole setup and format for it and I think they were always only about 20 seconds long. I've been able to find other people that remember this cartoon but nobody who knows what it's called or find any clips etc. A guy on yahoo answers says that he's even contacted Nickelodeon and they had no clue. I've watched so many 90s nickelodeon short cartoon compilations on youtube but never found them. Probably because they're all American ones and I think these would have been European imports! It may have been one dragon chasing another creature, based on another person who remembers the cartoon on Yahoo Answers: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question...3022643AAFJt3E


If anyone knows anything, that would be totally amazing as this is the only thing on the internet I've never found. And I've found ads and idents I remember from my childhood going to Centre PArcs in Holland by finding someone with the tapes and transfering them!

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

That's the one. Haven't seen this part though. I've only seen the part with the dad there and you can hear the old woman on the radio and get to see her on the telly. I remember the dad calling it heterodyne. Is heterodyne not the noise you get when going the the frequencies on an old analogue tuner? I would love to see the conclusion of this.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Trip2the moon, I think 'Interference' was a multi-part drama made for 'Middle English.' Yes, it was pretty creepy for a schools programme. Can't see it being shown to kids at school nowadays. If I remember correctly it was a mom and 3 kids renting a cottage and there might have been a dad as well later on. What I remember most clearly was when someone picked up the phone and the ghostly woman was crying on it.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Three US sitcoms from the early 70s, all shown on ITV, I think.

Nanny and the Professor: Juliet Mills played an English nanny working for an American family. Nanny seemingly had magical powers, Mary Poppins-style.

Anna and the King: Yul Brynner and Samantha Eggar starred in this one, based on "Anna and the King of Siam". Don't think there were any musical numbers in it.

Family Affair: Actually I think this one began in the 60s but I saw it in the early 70s. Brian Keith played a widower and Sebastian Cabot an English butler looking after Keith and kids.

Talking of Sebastian has reminded me of another series he starred in: Ghost Story from circa 1972. It was a supernatural anthology series and Cabot played Winston Essex, who introduced each of the stories. It morphed into Circle of Fear, but the Winston Essex introductions were dropped.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

When I was off school ill I would watch the For Schools programmes in the morning. I caught an episode of a drama that was called Interference. A family have just moved to a new house (or possibly visiting their holiday home) and when they turn on the radio they keep picking up noises of an old woman crying. When they put on there TV and try to tune it they get the same thing but with fuzzy pictures of the old woman. I got sent back to school before I found out the conclusion. We got our first video in 1987 so I think the programme pre-dates then. I think I would have taped it if we'd had a video at the time.

Not having a video was a pain, I hated missing the start of Mr T at half 3.
