Be Excellent To Each Other

Go on then.

Just for CuS

I never won a 'Blue Peter' badge. Frankly, the trauma of my childhood probably stems from this.

I hated Blue Peter.

I was never in the gallery on Take Hart.

I always wanted to be.

Never actually sent in a picture, though, to be fair.

CUS. All upper-case. You've spoiled it now

I will now say the two words, the two little words that justify this thread all by themselves.

OOOooo...... NASTY!

Knightmare. That is all.

That game show hosted by David Walliams where contestants had to swim around in a giant bowl of soup collecting things.

GOD, what was it called again?

Mrs Squirt won a Blue Peter badge. She drew a picture of a kangaroo - you could try that.

FTFY

Incredible Games?

I am not the sort of person to track down, hunt, and skin a forumite, just for having a COMPLETELY INCORRECT view of something. That's on the record now I've said that, you've all seen it.

I'll get the car.

Would having another person to help you change your ways? I'd be up for some hunting and killing.

Where's CG when you need him?

Knightmare was great. If only because I seem to remember it was on fridays at 4.45, so the weekend had finally arrived.

I think this is where a very small difference in years might make a difference. It was really fucking crap but you were all probably slightly too young and stupid to realise it.

Anyone remember the Fingerbobs?

And who can remember Grange Hill, when it was good? That is, before it became a preachy, issues-led series of morality plays, populated with uninteresting characters in bland situations?

How about them Clangers, eh?

How much room have you got in the car Sheepeh, I think we might be going on a long trip?

Knightmare was shown on Challenge a few years ago, so while it's obviously not as good as it used to be, it's still watchable.

My partner always says she was shocked when she found they were pink, having grown up watching them on a black and white tv set. I felt the same way about Bagpuss, who so should've been a ginger tom...

Nothing I saw as a child is quite as chilling as LazyTown, I fear the generation raised on that.

Was it fingerbobs ? - i only remember fingermouse.



you mean with Tucker and Benny the ball ?

Coff Nosybonk Coff.

Didn't we do this thread about 3 months ago?

I went back and rewatched it a few months ago. It was really shit, but at that age and era, you tend to be extremely blind.

It's still nostalgically awesome though.

Dunno, wasn't here.

The thing is, "What about them Clangers" can lead to - for example, you understand - "What, you never saw Star Fleet X-Bomhber?!?!" and a new generation of ardent fans being created, with much joy a-plenty.

But first, first we must mention Bagpuss and the like. I always preferred Ivor The Engine anyway.

Kiddo! According to Wikipedia, Fingermouse was the main Fingerbob, but got hiss own series in 1985, which is what I presume you remember.

Any other old farts here who remember Michael Bentine's Potty Time? And before you ask, no, I was not his wet nurse...

I had Ivor the Engine wallpaper when I was a kid. It was awesome. The track joined up and looped around forever.

EDIT: In fact, this very wallpaper!

It's also perilously close to

remember space hoppers, and spangles and where's all the white dog poo gone eh?

Nostalgia ain't as good as it used to be...

Yeah, sorry - me being a grumpy arse. I hate nostalgia.

The trouble with Knightmare was that the kids were so horribly inept it made it far too frustrating to watch.

I think my brother liked it, though. He's eight years younger than me, so it might have caught him at a better age.

Possibly - but that would mean i was 14 while watching which probalby isnt right :-)

Oh and i remember the theme tune so it would be the original one , or one of its many re-showings





I remember the name , and i think it being on ITV , and probably in black and white ....... but thats about it nothing on the actual program itself.

I also vaugly remember "the tomorrow people"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tomorrow_People

but again no details - however I really liked "Into the Labrinth"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_L ... (TV_series)

I remember that! The 90s version anyway.

I vaguely recall it being awesome, but I can't remember anything about it.

Would you like a special CUS Cuddle? It's sort of like a Care Bear Hug, but leaves unwelcome track marks where I press up against you.

I'm not big on nostalgia. But! I am big on finding new ways to keep belming on about Star Fleet X-Bomber!

And white dog poo.

Ooo, a thread about childrens TV which provides another chance to post this childhood favourite and cause nightmares for certain other forumites.

Childrens TV? I'm the fucking daddy and that Bagpus is a pussy

Hartley hare or something like that - i never saw it but my other half remembers it

Sweet Jesus have mercy.

That looks rather like the rabbit I saw mashed up in the gutter on Thornhill Road the other day.

Imagine if Satan soddomised the corpse of the roadkill perkies, and that's what would be born.

Bertha, oh lovely Bertha, somethimes I think you're a dream, de-doody dum de something something do do de doo doo.

My sister loved Button Moon. I always wanted to go on (Pat Sharp's) Funhouse. Remember those twins on it, eh? Bet they were actually quite ugly, but as a kid they seemed kind of attractive.

Also - there was some TV series set in space on BBC I think, there were two robots that looked like they had lego pieces stuck to them, and the small one looked a bit like a rollerskate. Anyone know what that is from those vague and probably massively inaccurate ramblings?

Fraggle Rock
Bagpuss
Pocoyo
Bing and Bong (Tiny Planets)

Lazytown makes me feel nauseous.
