The Banana Splits Show
Saturdays mornings were never so good,  The Arabian Knights, Oh Oh Chongo its Danger Island, The cartoon one where they got miniaturised and went driving round the garden running into bugs,  The Sour Grapes girls...................etc etc

The Greatest American Hero....................great theme song.

Rentaghost

Catweasel


Someone mentioned TJ Hooker.....  it was shite and did William Shatner no good at all,  but it was worth watching to see Heather Locklear...............yummy.

BTW  fans of the great Captain Kirk  should watch Boston Legal,  Shatner is absolutely legend in it.

Streethawk

Knight Rider
Bananaman
The Littlest Hobo
Thundercats
He-Man
Starsky and Hutch
Children of the Sun (think this was on CBBC....loved it)
The Book Tower
Mary Whitehouse Experience was class...I know someone else mentioned it.
The Word....just to see Dani Behr in her prime and the Wannabes/Hopefuls
Pob

I must have watched a serious amount of tv.
I'm sure you can get a lot of these on box set but I thought they were all worth a mention.

Do indeed, that was going to be my contribution. There was a kids gameshow on BBC2 where at the end you had to cross a vortex and if you stood on the wrong place got sucked into space.

Anyone ever watch a show called This Morning with Richard Not Judy that used to be, inappropriately, on Sunday afternoonson BBC2 with Stewart Lee and Richard Herring (who was on Never Mind the Buzzcocks last week). Might have been the fact that I was only about 14 when I watched it but to this day I don't think I've seen a funnier show. Can get a few of them on Youtube but its not the same.

Only seeing this now AFS... I used to watch this show religiously, ass you say I think it was the funniest thing on the tv at the time...

The fat fella from Little Britain (not matt lucas, the one who is at the fat class) was in it, did he dress up as a pumpkin or something for one of the skits??

I would love a dvd of this, had a good search a while back but could only get stand up dvds and all...

Maybe if we petition the beeb?

There's a good few clips on youtube, which bring back some of the memories. A friend of mine wrote to the bbc (he really liked the show) a few years ago and I think he got a reply saying that they didn't have all the tapes anymore and they therefore couldn't release any dvds   :(

Was the fat fella the curious orange? He was great.

The curious orange! Yes, that was it, couldn't think of it properly thats why I thought it was a pumpkin!! Looked it up there, Paul Putner is his name...

Kevin Eldon was in it as well if i remember rightly??

Gonna youtube it properly later when I get a chance, raging they can't make a dvd when you think of some of the tripe that is released!!

Strange but true

The Hurricanes - loved that champions spirit.
Used to run home from school, stop for 2 minutes on the bridge to drop a stone into a passing Brit jeep, to see this. Great show.

The bridge is no longer there. :(

The Hurricances I take it, or else your school had long hours.

One of the best ever Drumanee!  I got the box set of the first 2 series on amazon for about 12 quid last month, classic TV.
