Champion the Wonder Horse.
Belle and Sebastian.
The Clangers.
Mary, Mungo and Midge.
Mr Ben
Lassie

Why was it called the OGWT?

My generation managed to swerve most of the appalling cheap American cartoons. We had quality stuff like this…..

Flintstones
Jetsons

Hill Street Blues.

How about:

Sky

The Jenson Code

King Of The Castle

Raven

Children Of The Stones
