My Dad was transporting it to a car show (at Ingliston... I think) and had picked it up from Dave Lee Travis who bought it after the show finished.
Best: Grange Hill, Jossie's Giants, Terrorhawks, Mysterious Cities of Gold, He Man, Thundercats, the chocolate biscuit factory episode of Bagpuss, A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard, Round the Twist, Saved by the Bell.
Worst: Got to be something like Jackanory (very boring as a kid) or any programme aimed at girls.
Shall we just agree that "best" was "anything by Cosgrove Hall"?
I never really got one with any of the live-action "children's dramas." Grange Hill, Press Gang, Children's Ward, Byker Grove, Jossie's Giants and all the rest. They bored me to tears, struggling to remember one I actually liked. Oh, unless you count the Look & Read serials like The Boy From Space, that was ace.
The dog-based dramas (Littlest Hobo and Lassie) always made me cry, especially if the dog loyally and heroically fought something to protect its master.
see also Belle & Sebastian, Graham - sniff, sniff, waaah.
Forgot about Joe 90. My son stills loves that series...
Best: Tiswas, Monkey, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Rentaghost, The A-Team, Metal Mickey and of course The Muppet Show.
Worst: Anything on after 7pm
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
...holds a special place in my 12 year old heart.

You're avin a bubble, ain't ya? Burt and Ernie are a gay Jack Lemmon and Walter Mattau.
Big Bird did a special in China (back when no one knew anything about China). He is on his own, lost and meets a little girl, asking her "hey, little girl, do you speak American?". She replies perfectly "no, but I speak English". Big Bird pauses, tilts his head to the side, shrugs and then says "okay, I guess that will do" and continues the conversation. Comedy gold!
