Lame TV of your childhood

Barnaby The Bear

Franco-Polish kids TV bought on the cheap by the Beeb.

What a ###t.

In contrast, this was MINT

‘vrrrrooootdoootdooooottt…etc’

Battle of The Planets did indeed rock. Was Zoltar a woman?

Hermaphrodite.

(True fact!)

I never quite got Mary Mungo and Midge but really liked it.

I remember a mouse standing on a dog’s nose to gain access to the floor selection buttons in a lift. Or did I dream that?

EDIT – Harry – can’t believe you’ve just called BB a ###t.

I reckon Chief Anderson out of Battle of the Planet’s movember effort deserves a mention.

Pipkins anyone? It was some really manky puppet called Hartly Hare. Dreaaadful stuff looking back on it.

Saw Rhubarb and Custard on a DVD at my sisters house and boy was that a freaky show. Still quite enjoyed it though.

Even at the time and as a small child I knew that Seaside Special was drivel.

Good Lord – I used to really, really fancy Cathy from Grange Hill.

Would’ve loved a threesome with her and Trisha Yates but wasn’t aware of such possibilies aged 11.

I used to adore Pipkins when I was very young. Barely remember it now. Topov the monkey, Humphrey Cushion and all that.

Cougar – Humphrey the Cushion was the banana scoffing soft furnishing from Hickory House.

Seaside Special

!

I once at Glastonbury got wasted with SS regular Bobby Crush’s nephew who was a friend of a friend. Sadly killed in a RTA shortly after. 😐

Anyone remember a kids program about some kind of elves/sandman type things at the bottom of the graden, would have been early 90’s. Theme tune gave me nightmares!

And no, not the sandman/’IT’, probably later than that.

Holy hell, that’s a blast from the past. I think I’d either eradicated that show from my memory or merged it with Pipkins.

Good grief.

Hermaphrodite.

(True fact!)
Point of order not in the tv seriees but true for the comic books

Most of this was better than what came before; it was a good day when they killed off Muffin the Mule.

If the bloke who did the voice for Zoltar (US version) was still alive today he would be 105!

How old does that make you feel?

Both Mark from BOTP and Shaggy (Scooby-Doo) were voiced by the same guy. Zoinks!

Bannana splits, bears dressed up,

Rent a ghost,

cracker jack,

Terrahawks,

The Profesionals,

The Prisoner,

Minder,

www wrestling,

Why dont you do something more interesting instead, a real prograsme filmed in liverpool in otterspool park,

Double deckers, not real ones but kids on a bus i think,

and lots more absolute drivel so many crap programes then as opposed to now with more channels.

Five children and it?

Champion the Wonder Horse was bloody awful.

And Robinson bloody Crusoe, White Horses and sodding Heidi.

Do we get a new series of Junior Kickstart?
No, here’s some toss from the Childrens Film Foundation.

Always liked anything by Oliver Postgate though, man was a god.

Black Beuty,

Lassie,

The Muppets,

Seasame Streeet,

Battle of the Planets is brilliant – I bought the DVD of that too and my son loves it even though he’s too young to really understand it… I loved it so much when I was a kid that hearing the theme music now still sends a shiver of excitement down my spine 😳

Both Mark from BOTP and Shaggy (Scooby-Doo) were voiced by the same guy. Zoinks!

He also does transformers – Casey Karem http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0440487/

i’ll have NOTHING bad said about knightmare!!! (i feel sorry that all the actors couldn’t get into rada/as they blatantly wanted to do Shakespeare 🙂 but this was abysmal i hope that godzilla (the real japanese godzilla i mean) pays the creators of this travesty a visit and scorches their behinds with his atomic breath (it’s the least they deserve 😡

Casey Karem

Casey Kasem – presented “America’s Top 10” too, compulsive morning viewing, that.

“Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”

Champion the Wonder Horse was bloody awful.

And Robinson bloody Crusoe, White Horses and sodding Heidi.

More 60’s ****

Belle & Sebastien
Casey Jones
Skippy
Flipper
anything on watch with mother
Jackanory

But to make up for it we did have all the Gerry Anderson progs … Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Stingray, Fireball XL5

Mr Benn

The Greatest American Hero.

I can’t do it right now, but you simply MUST youtube it and watch the opening credits/listen to the theme song.

It is utterly painful, but a necessary cultural experience.
