Russian TV once produced a TV film of Lord of the Rings.
Now you can bathe in it’s beauty.
Wouldn't ringski would be more Polish, ringyov be more Russian?
That reminds me of the crap school holiday TV of my childhood.
The Singing Ringing Tree - Creepy as Hell
The Flashing Blade - Imported TV that ran for 14 episodes but nobody had bothered to check the film stock and the the last part lost picture part way through.
Oscar, Kina and the Laser - The adventures of a small boy, his pet goose and a talking lamp.
No wonder kids in the 70s and 80 spent so much time outside.

I’ve no idea I use safari.

Ah yes, and anyone remember Silas? It was something about a boy who stole a horse, and he had a mate with a gammy leg, and it was on every school holidays.
Yeah! Silas had that massive horse and lived or worked in a mill for a while with an old woman who was horrible to him...?

I don't think it was any worse. Less sophisticated, but perhaps more imaginatively stimulating. Most kids' TV now seems to be little more than adverts for toys. I loved stuff like Oscar, Kina and the Laser!
Kids spend more time inside now, due to media scaremongering over 'peadophiles' etc, and the fact there's too many cars for kids to play in the street, and that every square inch of land kids could play and explore on, gets built on. That, and the increasingly sedentary nature of our working environments.
Well that escalated quickly

I hated it when they introduced some "award winning cartoon from Hungary". You think it had to be better than Tom & Jerry, Top Cat, Scooby Do et al if it won awards but it was just some weird shit.
Well that escalated quickly
Yep. Someone switched on the Fun Hoover.
Anyone remember this weird shit?

I don't believe anyone ever watched The Flashing Blade all the way through.
I once watched every episode of Buck Rogers (or maybe it was Flash Gordon - can't remember now). Every Saturday morning for weeks. Except I didn't watch the very last episode because the new series of Swap Shop was starting. I still remember my father's absolute bemusement that I wasn't all THAT bothered about it.
Anyway, I'll add in Monkey to the list of childhood holiday TV.
Anyone remember this weird shit?
Yes, although, I was trying to remember what it was called.
Heidi was on a similar vein to silas. Badly dubbed, slept in her granpas loft, had a friend in a wheelchair which that naughty goatherd peter pushed off the mountain.
There was black beauty too with greensleves as the theme.
Any more?
Belle and Sebastian
Robinson Crusoe
The White Horses
Belle and Sebastian
I thought they were a singing duo that dull middle aged men think are deep and meaningful.
What was the one from Canada - Beachcombers?
That is abysmal
Did the BBC have a hand in producing it ?
Robinson Crusoe
Ah this was on loop for years on Sunday mornings but I thought it was good.
I daren’t revisit it,after watching the first episode of battle of the planets...some memories are better if left as memories.
Err like Ralph doing me a Ralphio to on my birthday 🙁
jekkyl
Any more?
The Littlest Hobo
Huckleberry Finn
I'm just going to pop this here, so funny
Any more?

The Tomorrow People.
I once watched every episode of Buck Rogers (or maybe it was Flash Gordon – can’t remember now).
Also Rocketmat was in the same style.
My faves were
Champion the wonder horse
Hunters Gold
