How about Poddington Peas, chocka blocks and the Pink Panther?

[bearded bloke]

Monty Python's Flying Circus & who can forget the marvellous ................


Jack Hargreaves doing ....... Out of Town

[Mr Bones]

Dr Who from behind the settee

Early memories of Stingray, I found the Aquaphibians dead scary (although we knew them as the
Oggle-obble men).

[SusieG]

Aah, Stingray, I loved it! Who can forget the love triangle that was Troy Tempest, The beautiful Aqua Marina who couldn't speak (only with her massive eyes..!) and Tempest the Raven-haired beauty .....
It was supposed to be for kids ....!!!!!

What about Joe 90 .......?

[SusieG]

Can remember my 'baby' brother when the Doctor Who theme music started to play, would go scuttling behind the sofa - and would watch the whole programme peeping over it! And loving every minute .....
(It was in the 1960's and Daleks looked like as scary as, well a 'dalek' compost bin...!!!!)

I was an 80s baby, so loonytoons was (and still is) my fave!
My kids are 7 and 9, cartoons these days just seem to lack 'something' that the old ones had. And some are pure creepy, dirt girl world gives me the heebeegeebees, and Mr Bloom I'm sorry to say, is just weird! I saw him in a panto at xmas, was weird there too.

[happyhumph]

I liked he-man, she-ra, thunder cats, fraggle rock, going round the twist, danger mouse. Quite pleased now danger mouse back on! On current kids TV have a not so secret passion for octonauts

[Containergardener]

Tatty look back at 70s ...where was starting
Look up names of captain pugwash

[happyhumph]

Agree with tattyjj that dirt girl gives me the creeps - something about the animation I think. Strange fondness for Mr bloom though....

[Containergardener]

Media manipulates everyone..they will use any chance ..I guess , so I've heard

[TattyJJ]

Have no worries, i'm quite familiar with all the classics, my dad was kind enough to make sure

It the overactive eyebrows in dirt girl world that threw me off, it's just not natural, even for an animation!


Oh oh i loved the Wombles too, and Paddington bear, and you cant forget Top Cat or Dastardly and Muttley!

[Jay-ell]

Tatty look back at 70s ...where was starting
Look up names of captain pugwash

like Tom the Cabin Boy?
or Master Mates?
or seaman Banabas?

Remember The guy who done Pugwash sued teh Guardian (and won) for printing the same thing you're suggesting. None of the characters with innuendos as names actually existed in CP - it's an urban myth.

[Containergardener]

And seamen Staines .

Oh god wombles...Oh has wombling Christmas on iPod

Nope - didn't exist. The sailors were Willy and Barnabas. Actually they weren't seamen but Pirate Willy and Pirate Barnabas. Captain Pugwash never had any seamen (oh er missus)

Used to watch this all the time - along with The Magic Roundabout
