What shows do you remember the most. Not just in a comedy sense.

1. The A. Team
2. Knightrider
3. Morcambe & Wise
4. Shaft.

Those always bring back memories.

2 and 4 don't really surprise me Charley.

Mine is very much late 70s/early 80s (been on a bit of a nostalgia trip lately, so almost all to hand on DVD). So cool to see those shows again.

Bod
Chorlton & The Wheelies
Bagpuss
The Flumps
Jamie & The Magic Torch
The Wombles
Captain Pugwash
Dogtanian & The Three Muskahounds

A bit older, I recall a MAHOOSIVE row with my mum because she wouldn't let me stay up late to watch Minder. All my mates were allowed to watch it....

One of the best kid's theme tunes ever.

What about the Tellygoons. Does anyone else remember?

Obviously not from the original broadcasts, but I've seen some recently. Not quite sure of a suitable description. :D

Manimal and Automan - I only really liked shows with man in the title.

you must have been a big Pete Waterman/Michaela Strachan fan then...

I hope that's not ALL shows with 'man' in the title! *shudder*

Dogtanian! Yay!
Brilliant theme tune.
Speaking of which - Gummi Bears.

Ooh, and Inspector Gadget and Cities of Gold.

I do - a children's version of the real thing.

I watch it now. But that is the ridiculously handsome Gethin's fault.

I'm afraid I remember Christopher Trace and Valerie Singleton - and hasn't she worn well.

John Noakes swimming trunks upset me for a long time.

Did you not have any of your own then? :(

Eye I did but no one saw em 'cos I always kept me duffle on!
