Did anyone mention The Littlest Hobo?
That was my favouritest. Someone tried to convince me in the pub the other day that the wore a red scarf around his neck. I was very angered. Everybody knows that he was far too cool to do anything of the sort. They musta been thinking of benji or some such wuss.
Anyone remember The Gummi Bears? Bouncing here and there and everywhere? Am I crazy or was their special power drinking some kind of juice and bouncing around on their asses? Although possibly that was an irish programme and I'm assuming there's no irish people here coz I've seen no mention of Bosco. Aww bless his creepy little ginger heart.

I remember the Gummi Bears - yeah, they used to drink purple gummi juice and bounce around

anyone remember the Dream Stone? or The Raccoons - with Cyril Sneer

I remember the the Gummi Bears aswell as the Racoons, but i have never heard of of the Dream Stone.

Don't remember ever seeing the Gummi Bears, I actually though they were bear shaped sweats (Candy in the US).

Never liked The Racoons.

Here's a some of the animated shows that I remeber :-

Battle Of The Planets
Flintstones
Ulyssess 31
Thundercats
Droids

The Littlest Hobo did have a 'kerchief round his neck in the title/credit sequence, sorry.

I often say something along the lines of "Oooops, sorry, I don't have my [inserst appropriate type] head on today"

I used to hate Aunt Sally with a passion. Una Stubbs

Urgghhh - Una Stubbs!

i rememberthe dream stone....and worzeleze became a big thing for a short while!!!!!you put a wer afterw,and a wer after e!!!!!!

What about Catweazle. He was just ace! Without doubt one of the best kids programmes of my youth. As in "Sa!Electrickery!" Timeless

There has to be SOMEBODY else Irish on this website apart from me & spider baby??!
I mean, BOSCO, for the love of God!

on the basis that there's been a gap of 2 days................

maybe there aren't any other Irish TV viewers on here??

I remember Screen Test. Vision On was great. One of my earliest TV memories is watching (behind the cushion) Doctor Who - it was the one with Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell in it. We only had a black and white set back then. There was also a Tom Baker episode (still only had a B&W set) about a light house - Victorian I think. Very creepy. Scared me half to death. Basil Brush was on before it I think.

Screen Test? Was that the one with Michael Rodd. Memory is a bit hazy, but was that show any relation to Clapper Board

Don't remember much about screen test and have no recollection of Vision On.

The Doctor Who Story is the Three Doctors. It's rather sad to think that they have all now passed away.

Did you see it in the 70's or was it the repeat in 80's - I think that's when I saw it for the first time as I was only 2 when it first was shown? Have since seen it again on video.

Not sure what the T.B. Lighthouse based is called - could be Image Of The Fendahl

I have a Slightly confused Doctor Who memory as I lived in Bahrain in the late 70's and they were showing Jon Pertwee stories out there, I remember cowering behind the sofa during a Dalek episode - but I don't remember which Pertwee/Dalek story it was.

Meanwhile on my return to England (79) I started watching it with Tom Baker - The first T.B. episode I remember ended with 2 statues with axes coming to life whilst the Doctor was examing a mirror, the axes fall, cyue end titles. Have since watched the E-space trilogy on video and now know that was the Warriors Gate Story.

Recently I bought a CD called Thunderbirds Are Go which carries the slogan For Kids Who Have Grown Up. It contains the TV Theme music from around 20 TV Shows - Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Stingray, The Avengers, Man In A Suitcase, Return Of The Saint to name but a few - unfortunately the Doctor Who theme is the dull Sylvestor McCoy one and not the 70's classic tune. If you want to try and find a copy check out Bargain Books where I found my copy.

I watched the Three Doctors in the 70s. I was very young. But I mainly remember Tom Baker of course, and he is for me and many my age *the* Doctor Who.

They are repeating the Tom Baker stories on UK Gold (about 1 in the morning) and wife and I are watching them - a real nostalgia trip!
