What ever happened to the Childrens Film Foundations.

I think the Vice Squad eventually saw through the unconvincing front and closed it down.

You made sure you weren't in England in the mid-17th century?

After inadvertently starting the Great Fire of London, my companions and I fled to a cricket match at Oxfordshire in 1925.

Daktari - the 60's spin off from Born Free ..with Clarence the cross-eyed lion

Which lead to my fave review ever in the Bournemouth Advertiser.

"Clarence the cross eyed lion, major boss eyed lion fun."

Some good kids cartoons in the 60's too - Gigantor & Journey to the Centre of the Earth - well they seemed good at the time :-)

Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop - and the bloody annoying Pinky & Perky .. although their singing style has made a comeback it seems :-(

Pinky and Perky were banned for being seditious around one of the elections. Radical pigs, respect due.

Ok suspended close enough though.

Mother Love, starring Dame Diana Rigg as a psychotically over-protective mother. It was rather good.

Not half forgotten though!

Marked Personal - daytime soap from the 70's with the delicious Stephanie Beacham

Harriet's Back in Town - as above but with Pauline Yates

Who remembers kids' show Heads 'n' Tails?

Me. Vaguely.

Cloppa Castle, anyone?

Anyone remember Data Run from BBC 1980s kids' TV? There was also Micro Live featuring legendary Fred Harris, charting the rise of the microcomputer and all the fun that was not to be had using the BBC Acorn Micro...

Here's Data Run featuring 'The Smiths' - Johnny Marr and, as they call him, 'Paul Morrissey'...

Anyone remember the short-lived Cosgrove Hall cartoon from the '80s, called Alias the Jester?
