I have the episodes that are on the Dangermouse DVDs of which I have the 12 disc boxset :)

Lol... 12 disc boxset of Dangermouse?! My Mum thought me buying the 39 episode complete series boxset of Terrahawks was sad enough!

That and the fact that I rented the complete series of Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green from Amazon last year! :lol:

Man I loved those shows when I was 5!

Oh my god! Terrorhawks. Wasn't that just the best thing in the world. I remember being really scared by it but loving it at the same time.

I remember Chocky...it was that strange dark triangular thingy that used to talk to that kid. I loved it, very spooky for it's time.

I also remember 'Sport Billy' used to love watching that, didn't he have an amazing bag?...:hihi: I always wanted one of those too.

Anyone remember 'Fangface' ??

Count Duckula was ok, but Alias the Jester was better! :)

I remember Count Duckula, but I didn't like it much.

I much preferred the innocence of Trumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley.

Rich

i have.....

cult kids classics 1 & 2 featuring:

dangermouse
jamie and the magic torch
count duckula
chorlton & the wheelies
sooty
rainbow

also have jamie and the magic torch 12 episode dvd.

does anyone watch nick jr from 8pm at night?

ahhhhhh memories

I do, watch Camberwick Green at 8 on Nick Jr 2 and then switch over to Nick Jr 1 at 8.15 for Trumpton... Class! They just don't make kids TV like that no more... I know I shouldn't care or even be watching it at my age, but there's something nostalgic about watching stuff like what Nick Jr puts on, although stuff like Rainbow has aged badly, you can tell Bungle's some bloke in a suit, and Zippy's just an annoying yellow thing with a big gob... And don't get me started on teh ambigiously gay pink hippo.. A gay hippo on a pre-school TV show?! Whatever would the Mail readers think?! :shocked: :lol:

And no, I am not homophobic before anyone starts.

SPORT BILLY >>>>>> please someone remember it :(

I remember Sport Billy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huJlDsfXf5U&mode=related&search=). He had the magic bag which held loads of sport's goods, he used to shrink them down before putting them in his bag. I have never heard of Count Duckula though.

Im too young to remember count Duckula...:D
"Castle Duckula, home for many centuries to a dreadful dynasty
of vicious vampire ducks - The Counts of Duckula. Legend has it
that these 'fowl' beings can be destroyed by a stake through the
heart or exposure to sunlight. This does not suffice however, for
they may be brought back to life by means of a secret rite that
can be performed once a century, when the moon is in the
Eighth House of Aquarius... The latest reincarnation did not run
according to plan...."

all these shows were great werent they, they beat the pants off the stuff my kids watch theses days , teletubbies, lazytown etc, although i recently watched an episode of rainbow with my daughter and the acting was appalling!
it was nice to visit cockleshell bay again though!

Count Duckula was ok, but Alias the Jester was better! :)

Alias the Jester was the shizzle :cool:

Fantastic theme tune too

"From the middle of space
To the middle ages
AAAAAAAAAAAAALIAS!"

Duckula was all kinds of cool too.

And Trap Door.

When darkness falls,
Leaving shadows in the night,
Don't be afraid,
Wipe that fear from your eyes.

If a desperate love
Keeps on driving you wrong,
Don't be afraid,
You're not alone . . .

[Chorus:]
You can run with us!
We've got everything you need . . .
Run with us!
We are free!
Come with us!
I see passion in your eyes . . .
Run with us!

I loved Fun House with Pat Sharpe

Wacky!
Fun!
Crazy!
It's outrageous!
Fun house, a whole lot of fun,
prizes to be won.

It's the real crazy show where anything goes.

Fun house, it's a quiz,
it's a race, a real wacky place,

Use your body and your brain
if you wanna play the game!

The Raccoons! What a fantastic show :)

15-03-2007, 16:50

Yeah, even by 80s standards.. And as mentioned there's the unquestionably gay characters totally unsuitable for a pre-school show such as George and Bungle...

Rainbow was sheer filth! Ban it now ;)
