The death of children's telly stalwart John Noakes has put me in rather a nostalgic mood.
All day I have been humming various themes from long-lost programmes of yore.
Including these [and I wonder whether anyone else out there remembers any of them?]...
Happy memories.
except for Batman and the Banana Splits, none of these entered my universe until now, but Captain Scarlet certainly was attractive. Nothing like a little humpy eye candy for pre-pubescent homos-to-be.
ReplyDeleteYou should see what happens when you pull the right string! Jx
DeleteI remember all these - from reruns/repeats, obviously ;) - but the only ones I watched with any regularity were The Magic Roundabout, Batman, Top Cat, and (like Peenee) the hormone stirring Captain Scarlet!
ReplyDeleteRIP John Noakes.
I must be the only person standing to remember "The Herbs", "Hector's House" and "Arthur", then... Jx
DeleteLove the Herbs! My two brothers showed us them along with TiswAS, Playschool, ...my poor mum had to go through the seventies twice.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember the bubblies? We had a VHS tape of them which we watched obsessively. No one else seems to remember it except the French
"The Herbs" was a fabulous programme, and I loved it as a child in the early 70s - however, I think by the time "The Bubblies" was broadcast in the 1980s, I was way beyond thinking about kids' TV. My obsessions as a typical teenager veered more towards masturbation and music... Jx
DeleteLot of music in The Bubblies - nothing much to satisfy your other hobby.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot Hugh,Pugh, Barney McGrue, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub!
ReplyDeleteWell, probably many more.Of course I'm quite elderly...
Ah, indeed - who could forget them..? Jx
