The Flumps and the Moomins!!!!!


My god - they really do bring back memories.




Chorlton and the Wheelies!!! That's another one! "hello little old lady"!!







*gathers self back together in a more lady like manor*

My earliest memory is Rag, Tag & Bobtail, Tails of the Riverbank with voices by Jonny Morris. Woodentops, Andy Pandy. You never questioned why the Woodentops never wore any shirts etc on their top halfs. Would seem bizarre to kids of today, they'd notice. Mmmm... what does that say about our mentality at that age?

How can a hamster, rat and guinea pig drive cars and boats? All accetped as a child. Oh the innocence...........

Time for a

Unfortunately.....that seems to be the trend nowadays......

It's so sad that children aren't allowed to be innocent any more. It never harmed me as a child....I can even remember running round on a beach in Devon at the age of 4 with no clothes on! Parents don't do that any more.

And you looked soooooooooooo cute darling *wipes tear from eye*

Lots of kids do still run around naked. My grandson stripped off on the bous the other day!

*gulp* I can't speak to you...I might be accused of Jury Tampering!!

Did the accused remember the biggest Spotty dog you ever did see?

Yes!!! The Woodentops.................and who went "bobop ickle wee"

Bill... or was it Ben, which one of those two flowerpot men?

I do remember that I thought Andy Pandy was a bit of a wazzock even as a toddler. Teddy and Lubiloo were Ok but AP was a total waste of space.

Time to go home. Time to go home. Andy is waving goodbye

Oh the Flumps, indeed. If you ask, nobody can ever remember the names of the three child Flumps though.

I also liked Mysterious Cities of Gold
(Children of the sun, see our time has just begun...)

Hello it,s the Traveller here.I think one of the flumps(a girl) was called Posie and one of the other children(male) was called Pootle as for the third I have no idea.Hope this helps.
My favourite childrens tv programme was Rhoobarb and Custard.

What about the foreign imports from long ago. The Singing Ringing Tree. Or the french ones with horses and dogs and stuff.
It was the same set of dubbers who did everything so you grew up thingking that every french person had the same voice and couldn't make their lips work at the same time as they were speaking.

ah well *I* know them, but you've just emphasised my point - those who do remember them never remember all three of their names alone.

Perkin was the older boy, with Posie in the middle and Pootle as the youngest.

What about Jamie and the Torch!!!

Jamie & the Magic Torch as been on cable/satelitte TV recently-ish.

Get yer thinking caps on. Does any one remember "The Wotsit of Whizzbang" Short lived series with pictures (I think) & no animation. This was a story about aliens. My memory is somewhat hazy on this. Is si No ho? Do you'll remember that?

Vicki....big sister says Potty Time!! And also Vicki the Viking!

Noggin the Nog. Fabulous narrators voice in it. You felt you could toast bread on it.

Same vein - Ivor the Engine. Who's old enough to remember Pogles Wood? Oliver Postage was the narrator for Ivor the Engine and Noggin the Nog. visit www.smallfilms.co.uk

Great stuff. Pogles wood was a bit more modern thatn Noggin wasn't it?
