Indeed, my short and dirty friend, I now recall using it in such a fashion, too. A very versatile little gesture was the chinny.
On things being scary - Bagpuss was actually quite an intimidating beast if you took into account the size of his bloody great gob; terrifying to a small child. Chris Moyles does a good impersonation of the Terror Cat just by existing and we all know that he ate some of the mice when the cameras were turned off. Bagpuss that is, not Moyles...
Edited for the awful spelling of the cat's name.

Of those already mentioned - Trapdoor, Chorlton and the Wheelies and Gilbert's Fridge are standout favourites.

In a word TISWAS.
Absolute anarchy. The phantom flan linger was a taxi driver and Chris Tarrant, Sally James, Dave Gorman, Bob Carolgees and Lenny Henry had such a laugh. To top it all my brother and I were on it for three years. All I can say is the sight of Sally James in leather trousers was an education.

Crackerjack,
Multi coloured swop shop,
Magpie,
How,

Although not being shown now, How actually made it to How 2 until sometime in the 2000s and was then carried forward under the guise of something else using the same presenters if my memory serves correctly. So technically you're correct, Project but it did have a degree of longevity by comparison. That strange, almost immortal Fred Dinenage appeared in both of the How programmes but not the re-named show.
I expect to see him fighting a Kurgan-like figure on a rooftop sometime soon...

There was one I used to watch, when I was probably a lot older than the intended audience, that had a sheep in it called Bomber Harris (or similar), but I can't remember the name!

I'm sure Blue Peter made a Blakes 7 wrist thingamajig once, probably based on an old bog roll.
You are 100% correct

Does Thunderbirds count, it's not been repeated for a few years.
Watch it with my son on youtube, and Ivor the Engine, Stingray, XL5, keep well away from the the Singing Ringing Tree though, I'm still traumatised 40 years later.Posted 5 months ago # -

I'd love to see an episode of 3-2-1 again with Ted Rogers and Dusty Bin. Never could fathom those clues out.

All the old cop shows.. TJ hooker, Dempsey and makepeace, also a yank oneabout some sort of criminal race driver bailed out by a judge type guy snd they fought crime together.. Can't remember the name but the opening sequence had a red sports car (Ferrari or poss Lamborghini) jumping/driving over another car..
Oh aye, no Tales of the Unexpected btw?
Tripods was great, loved the Triffids feature length the beeb did about the same time?
Red Hand Gang was good, was a sorta uk version where the kids hangout was a routemaster?
Oh aye, also, a kids gameshow presented by Bob Carolgees where the kids had to play full size snakes and ladders- not got a clue what that was called..Posted 5 months ago # -

Glad someone has mentioned Tales of the Golden Monkey. I loved that show, and no-one I've ever spoken to rememebers it.
Same plot every week, Jake Cutter flies off to meet some undesirables to help out his French chum with the eye patch and dodgy past. Get's caught in a storm, Cutter's Goose (the plane) engines cut out, he crash lands.... bad guys met... fixes plane.....there's a fight in the golden monkey bar..... ace.
