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

And didn't they remake it with Malcom McDowell

No idea, I just remember the stuff from when I was little. TV seemed much better in the 70's and 80's

We always watched Who on a Saturday (from behind the settee of course) and then there would be something cringeworthy like The Val Doonican Show or The Cilla Black Show or (most un-pc) The Black and White Minstrel Show!! I think Dixon of Dock Green was on Saturdays as well and my dad always always watched Grandstand from start to finish

What about sunday afternoons watching Bullseye!

Or 321 with dusty the bin

I hated bulseye but I always ended up watching it!

I loved bullseye but i always wanted to win a dusty bin.

What about Grotbags?

In the pink windmill!! I wanted to go to that stage school so that I could run about like an idiot shouting "there's somebody at the door"

Thankfully, my parents didn't let me!

Yeh!

What was the dragon called,something like Trevor or Pete?

Croc,

And he was the campest lizard this side of Eddie Izzards pet Iguana.

Re Dusty Bin. I always found the puzzles/clues unbeleivably hard. They would be given, say, a shoe from a play about Cinderella, and that would somehow cryptically lead them to a prize of a fridge freezer and twelve months supply of lime juice. And, a seemingly obvious boob prize of an empty tin can, donated by Bernard Cribbens, would actually be the Star Prize of a Fiat Panda.

Don't remember a dragon but there was a gay crocodile.....called Croc, very originally!!!!

Re: The Pink Windmill, an old schoolfriend of mine, (Michael) sister (Tammy) was in the show

Oh yeh,course it was a crocodile,dont know what i was thinking.

What about Emu,Orville and Cuddles?

Liked Orville, hated Cuddles. he had a blue face and no self respecting ape should have a blue face! And he was ever so slightly evil to Orville as well!

Anyone else remember Orm and Cheep?

Me! Orm was very cute too! for a worm!

If Cheep could use his wings
He'd still bump into things

You lot must have square eyes cos i can't remember most of the things you've mentioned,unless i was out making mud pies n climbin trees.

The Poddington Peas?

Tickle on the Tum?

THE RAGGY DOLLS!!!!!!!!!!
