h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Rentaghost- a comedy classic if ever there was one.

don't really remember rentaghost.

I remember having a crush on Micheala Strachan when she was on the really wild show and then finding out she'd married the pleb Timmy mallett

Ahh...you have missed a tv classic. Did Michaela really marry that 'pleb' Timmy Mallet? Are you quite sure?

i used to love the cartoon dungeons n dragons! im not sure if i ever missed the last episode but did they ever get back to our world n stay there?

also loved the original scooby doo in the late 1960's/start of 1970's! the music was gr8!

used to love grange hill wen tucker jenkins was in!

its already been mentioned but i used to love knightmare as well! glad someone mentioned its repeated on challenge tv as i didnt know that!

One of my very first memories is the theme song from Cheers. I didn't understand the show at the time, but I loved the song

For years I thought the brief memories I had of what turned out to be Chorlton and the Wheelies was just my imagination as no one remembered it!

Still not sure if i dreamed up Monkey ..anyone else remember that one?

Is that Monkey, the Ancient Chinese superhero?

Sounds like the one.

I remember Monkey but I never watched it. I remember that most of the actors in it were the same ones as in "The Water Margin" a long running serial about Ancient Chinese heroes (not superheroes) who were rebelling against the evil Emperor.

Monkey is repeated late night Channel 5 (thursdays I think)

I can't believe no-one has mentioned 'Tales From the Riverbank', narrated by Johnny Morris, featuring Toad from Toad Hall and Hammy Hamster. The Herbs - with Dill the Dog and Parsley the Lion. Oh and Pipkins was another good one, although the rabbit in that used to scare the hell out of me (oh those teeth)!

what about 'the magic roundabout' I loved dougal

What about the Robinson Crusoe series with the dirgey music - it was French and badly dubbed if I remember rightly
Bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom de bomedy bom


Well something like that anyway

Trivia question: name the famous daughter of the man that narrated "The Magic Roundabout" on British TV.

Okay watch with mother: the Woodentops,Andy Pandy,Bill&Ben be bub be bub flubalub weeeeeeeeeeeed!
Incidentally I remember these in monochrome!

Emma and Sophie Thompson are the famous daughters of Eric, narrator of 'The Magic Roundabout'

I have vague memories of 'Four Feather Falls' Gerry Anderson's first series, but clearer ones of his second 'Fireball XL5'

Andy Pandy, Noggin the Nog, The Woodentops and Dobbin are all series I watched when small.

Fireball XL5..Excellent I forgot that one...and how could I forget.Was it Robbie the robot?

And what about Stingray! That Marina was rather something wasn't she!
Heck of a creature......36B(maybe C) and two and six a pound!

I have no idea what it was called, but does anyone remember a cartoon in the mid to late 80s that was on really early in the morning (about 6 i think!), possibly on a saturday. it was inside the body, with the blood cells and stuff as characters, and the the guy controlling everything in the brain was an old man with a long white beard. i'd love to know what it was called if anyone can remember!!

also... how good was count duckula?!

What a great thread! Has this not been done before?

Anyone remember an early monochrome (in the days when it was black and white ) series called Space Patrol? It had a doughnut shaped spaceship which made a [DON'T LAUGH] "doodle oooo dooo" noise [LAUGH NOW]. It featured a futuristic city with cars travelling in transparent tubes (I think) and a scary space port traffic controller.

Marina at two and six a pound Fabulous.
