Retro telly!

[Gooner Girl]

Answering this may show your age! After the sweet thread I was thinking, what kids telly programmes do you remember fondly from your youth?! (if any - I know a lot of you are very old and TV's may not have been invented when you were young )

For me being born in 1980 it's the mid/late 80s and early 90s vivid in my mind so I remember the likes of banana man, dangermouse, Bertha, pigeon street, postman pat, count duckula and of course Blue Peter and their milk bottle top collections. Ahhhh! Happy days

Course, I was sixteen by then. Late night TV was Sword of Freedom, Mark Saber, Dragnet, International Detective, Roaring Twenties, Bluey, Whiplash, Hawaian Eye and 77 Sunset Strip.,

Happy Days.

[P.O.S.]

Pob and Bertha!

Then a little bit later I used to really like those "teen drama" series' that came on after Newsround just before Neighbours; Elidor was top, The Girl From Tomorrow was good in a weird Aussie 2399 way (and she was hot), and also one called Dark Season, anyone else remember that? It had Kate Winslet in it about an evil computer called Behemoth taking over a school, brilliant stuff!

This might be useful to some of you to bring back some old memories. Incredible Games! I'd forgotton about that.

It's Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express
