TV Programmes from your childhood


Thedelldays

Recommended Posts

We were shown this at school when I was about 10 and it gave me nightmares for weeks. Even now at the age of 44 I can't bring myself to watch it......

 

Just watched that - first time I had seen it as was abroad at BFES schools alot in the 70s and we used to get WATCH and the on video, played on machines that filled the room

 

enough to give kids nightmares - but as you are still here, must have kept you away from farms ! so did the trick

Trumpton, Camberwick Green, Mary Mungo and Midge, Fingerbobs, Bagpuss, The Clangers from my early days.

 

Anything by Gerry Anderson from Stingray to Terrahawks, including UFO and Space1999 (although not kiddy). Keep meaning to have a look at the new CGI version of Captain Scarlet, it got rave reviews.

 

The Tomorrow People scared the living bejeesus out of me.

 

Never got into Dr. Who. Never. Even now.

 

Oh, and Jigsaw as my pre-pubescent body developed, I had no idea about sex but was absolutely fascinated by Janet Ellis's nipples on full-beam.

"This is the Voice of the Mysterons, we know you can hear us Earth men!".

 

Question for the folks hooked on Captain Scarlet all those years back: what was Captain Scarlets real name? (no Wiki cheating!!).

 

There are some great TV shows listed above.

Being born in 1964 the World of Jerry Anderson was immense when I was 5, Thunderbirds was bigger than my eyes. (with all the CGI that exists today the Thunderbirds film from a couple of years back was such a disappointment, but showed what an immense show Thunderbirds was)

Captain Scarlet, Stingray (those Titans were a bit scary), Joe 90.

There was a great cartoon: Marine Boy, the boy chewed Oxygum and could breathe under water: 'Elfin Safety nightmare!

 

Hectors House

The Herbs

The Clangers

 

Paul Metcalfe. (EDIT - remembered this, but have now looked on Wikipedia - did you know Captain Scarlet was from Winchester ???)

 

And Captain Blue was Adam Svenson.

 

Oh, and Rhapsody gave me the horn.
