    Yep! Me and singletrackmind still do that! 🙂 Amazing how some of these ancient catchphrases and songs stay with you. On the rare occasion I do gardening … ” I’m Bayleaf the gardener, I work from early dawn…” 😀

    Gilbert the Alien is still one of my heroes:

    His own show ‘Gilberts Fridge’ was superb (all on Youtube now I think). I used to run home from 6th Form to catch it. It was in a 4pm kids ITV slot but belonged in the Channel 4 post-pub friday night schedule. Basically a 30 minute Phil Cornwell stream of consciousness. I don’t think the core kids TV audience really understood sketches where Gilbert tries to sell french impressionist paintings to Dieter Meier.

    Around the World With Willy Fog was awesome up until the point they changed the animation style and voices, after which is was never the same again.

    The same goes for Dogtanian.

    Some could leave quite an indelible mark. There was occasionally some very creepy and challenging drama for children back in the day. Anybody remember:

    (Welsh voice) “She wants to be flowers, but you make her owls. You must not complain, then, if she goes hunting.”

    Animal Kwackers – Creepy blue glam rock lion.

    Somewhat randomly, I’ve seen them live.

    I have not met a single person who remembered this, it was brutal, people died on it even though it was on Saturday mornings

    I have Star Fleet on VHS, some n’th generation copy. You can get it on DVD now though.
