This was a great show. They used ot include all shorts of other shows in the middle. One I still remember very well was some badly duped item on the 100 years wars or something with old trenches, evil cardinals the lot.

No one expected the Spanish inquisition to be so funny on kids TV as they were so out of sync.

I remember Banana Splits! And there was another...The Bugaloos? Four flying fairy/pop band kids or something similar? I loved that show!

But can you name them!?!?

I loved the cartoon Nights of Arabia, with the magician that changed his form into what ever animal he wanted.

"Siiiize of a mouse" and be a mouse.
"Siiiize of an elephant" and he'd be an elephant
"Siiiize of a camel" and, you get the idea

Wasn't it:

One banana,
Two banana,
three banana four.
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more

Four banana,
Three banana,
Two banana, one,
Four bananas playing in the bright warm sun

Making up a mess of fun...?


I also remember the line:

Over hill and mountain the banana buggies go,
Racing hard to bring you the banana split show...


But bog knows where it fitted in
