Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

One cartoon I recently was trying to remember was Philomena.

In spite of the intros & narration by Johnny Ball there wasn't a lot about online apart from TV Cream & some episodes on You Tube.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

One I was thinking about a few days ago was Taking Over The Asylum.

A quick search online shows a few other people had remembered it, & it was available on DVD.

Thibaud Ou Les Croisades

It was on tv about 1970/71 and i can honestly say i've never met anyone of my age who remembers seeing this on tv

This was shown on TV about six months ago. It may have been ITV4 I think. I couldn't believe it when I saw it in the schedule. Great one-off series with Ken Stott and David Tennant. I like these old programs with a good mix of humour and pathos.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Does anyone remember a childrens programme from the 80's called Little Sir Nicholas? I think that's what it was called.
If I remember it's about a boy that gets lost at sea and his parents find him in france years later and take him back....

Also, who remembers Tyke Tiler from The Book Tower?

I remember reading the book The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tiler in school would have been about 1982 ish

I remember that, there was another boy in it who was a distant relative, who had been adopted by the same family.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Not so much a tv show but a documentary.

The first and only time I saw it was late at night on a regional tv channel about 1989, it's called 'The Moon And The Sledgehammer'.
It was filmed during 1969/1970 in the forest in sussex about a family (a father, 2 sons and 2 daughters) who lived in seclusion, living a life that could only be described as 50 years behind the times.........absolutely fascinating.

I remember a good few of them
The Pogles were little animated characters who lived in a hole in a tree. The young boy of the family was called Pippin, and his best friend was a squirrel called Tog.
Lizzie Dripping - was this about a girl who befriended an old witch, but had to keep it a secret from her friends (as you would...)? Ii think it starred Tina Heath, before she went on to become a Blue Peter presenter.
I used to love Crazy Bus, but thankyou for reminding me who the presenters were; I'd forgotten!
I certainly remember Barbapapa - a big, pink blob and his family, and Sir Prancelot, which was similar in style to Captain Pugwash - in fact I can still remember the theme tune; how sad is that?!!!
I can't remember whether Noggin the Nog was actually animated or just stills? I do remember it though.

The one I really draw a blank on was from the same era as The Pogles. It was called Busy Lizzie, about a little girl who always wore a dress with a flower on it. The flower was a magic wishing flower, and she was allowed either three or four wishes. He first wish was always to make her little Eskimo doll, called Little Mo, come alive, and they had lots of adventures, when having wishes come true came in very handy. Then she would always forget how many wishes she's had, and make one too many, and Little Mo would always go back to being a doll again.
Nobody I talk to can remember it, but whistl clearing my dad's house last year, I found a very old copy of a Pippin Summer Special comic, and lo and behold, inside, there were storeis about Busy Lizzie, The Pogles, Mary, Mungo & Midge!

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Creepy Crawlies- Stop-motion puppet series on CITV around 1987, about a gang of creepy crawlies; narrated by Paul Nicholas who also sang the memorable theme tune.

i can't think of any that i remember that no one else does, except maybe the Police Academy animated show, that used to show on CBBC.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

I remember all of the above except 'Crazy Bus'- The Pogles, Busy Lizzie, Sir Prancelot, Pugwash, and Mary, Mungo & Midge were all staple figures of my early youth. I used to take 'Pippin' regularly and still have several of my old comics as well as some of my annuals- fancied Mary like anything, and Busy Lizzie even more (the latter being a sort of infant Debbie Harry).
'Lizzie Dripping' was terrifying, the witch in it was scarey as hell- played by Anna Massey, and yes, Lizzie WAS played by Tina Heath, who also appeared in an episode of 'Target' as somebody's daughter who ended up being machine-gunned to bits (fake blood exploding everywhere). Tina was the first TV presenter to publicly show her pregnancy, each week Blue Peter had an update on how her baby was developing. She was married to a BBC cameraman, they both became religious maniacs in the '80s.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

In fact, was there a pilot show to Crazy Bus, called Crazy House??? I think it was a one-off...
Ha ha, yes, the witch WAS scary in Lizzie Dripping! Even though I didn't believe in witches
