Blakes 7 as Dr Who and Black Adder wasn't transmitted in the german TV,... :(((( But the Tripods, yes i remember that. How cheap was that made.
However, i forgot to mention
THE MUPPET SHOW, The fraggles and the cartoon pink panther
does anyone remember a cartoon space programme called space patrol?, and fireball xl5 was just great, I so wanted to be Venus,she was the plastic fantastic of the day!!
Now i know this thread is about 80's programmes, but reading through your messages has reminded me of a programme that was about when i was a nipper.
It was called 'The Singing Ringing Tree'.
And it was the darkest, most mind disturbing thing i have ever seen!
It had an evil pixie type creature in it, that could magic up a thorn hedge at will, and his sole aim in life was to terrify a princess.
Something like that anyway, but thats about as much as i want to recall, because this flippin programme gave me nightmares well into adulthood, and i'm loathe to encourage them back!!
(Was full on slow motion stylee...aaaggghhh!!!)
I've been told its available on dvd, if anyone does, or has watched it, i'd love to know what you think, but just remember, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Could be a new Tim Burton film that, ArfurB.......
What gives me nightmares to this day was the original 'Time Machine' film, the Warlocks and those eyes, arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
of course, no hijacking, cough splutter..... cant remember if I mentioned the Muppet Show yet? apologies if I did
also 'Pipkins', anyone remember Hartley Hare and Octavia ? I used to run home from school on a lunch time to watch them followed by ' The Sullivans', very dodgy but when there was only one or two channels in those days, it was as good as lunchtime viewing got!
and finally 'Chorlton and the Wheelies', ace !
i loved chorton and the wheelies!!! loved the theme tune!! what was the witch called?? she was green and lived in a tea pot!! and had that telescope thingy??
So many favourite programmes to list...bring back the 80s (well telly anyway!) how about films? Mad Max films, Grease, ET, theres a start...so many again to mention...cinema cost a quid on a Weds eve in Loughborough so all us students used to go cos it was cheaper than putting the heating on!!! LOL
yeah bostonbiceps.... i loved willow the wisp..... aurther the catapillar...... mavis the fairy and that funny tv witch evil edna! she used her arials to cast spells............lol
Yes I remember Willow the Wisp too.....
Mr Benn was a fave too, tho think he was in the 70's, as was Bagpuss ?
I used to love the Dukes of Hazzard too, Bo Duke in his tight blue jeans,mmmmmmmmm tho his bro Lukes hairy chest drove a young teen Nut nuts!
awww yehhh... i loved those mice..and Professor Yaffel ..the woodpecker !!
Wot abart the Clangers !!!! (bet yr all whistling now eh) lol and the Soup Dragon!
what about the a team with the black van mr.t crazy fool murdoch and the crap shooting every week i think i'm right in saying the worst ever injury on the show was a grazed knee
Does anyone remember a programme about little cannibals?!?
I think it was more 70's than 80's poss even late 60's !
All i can remember is, i think there were string puppets, and there was a song abart the chief cannibal.. it was something like...
"Big Chief Bilbos getting very cross, boomalaccka wee, boomalaccka wee"
Me and my middle brother usedta love it..but neither of us can rember the name.. and nobody we've asked have heard of it .. which is a bit worrying....
Sooooooo please ..somebody help my sanity here !!!!!
