Ah, there's still a child in all of us. In some, it's not buried all that deeply!

I have a Bod video at home. Along with me, Bod also arrived in 1975. Chorlton & the Wheelies rocked! I often use the line "'ello lickle laydeh" (I leave out the "old" bit for the benefit of my health) when I get in and greet LadyWayne. How about The Flumps? Little Gems - The Flumps

With a tenuous gardening theme, does anyone remember Mosschops? "Ooooh flowah"

What about "The Herbs"? With Parsley the Lion & Dill the Dog, Sir Basil & Lady Rosemary? Loved that, and of course Trumpton & Camberwick Green Loved it when Life on Mars used Camberwick Green

???? Don't remember that one, would like to say I'm far too young but sadly it's not true!

Bet you all watched Grange Hill when you were a bit older tho!

Oh oh and do you remember Chockie (don't know if that was how it was spelt)?

"I'm Dill the dog, I'm a dog called Dill, I'm rather small and furry and I'm often in a hurry"

"I'm Dill the dog, I'm a dog called Dill, though my tail I'd love to get, I have never caught it yet"

Hahahahaha, we shouldn't still remember that surely??!!

Here, try this;
Jedi's Childrens TV

Yep, remember Chockie. Looked like some bloke was shining a torch at the wall! If I remember rightly, when they showed where Chockie was "from" it seemed to resemble an upturned chocolate box tray? Of course, I could just be mad!

There are hundreds of TV programmes I remember as a child, but I shan't go into them here. If only I could remember useful stuff too...

Wait until you have kids Wayne... I can remember the dialogue for practically every Fireman Sam ever made (puppet ones, not the awful CGI ones they're doing now), and Thomas the Tank Engine, Postman Pat.... Not to mention the He-Man/She-Ra thing that my little sis used to watch when I was babysitting

Dylan was the rabbit. My daughter had a Magic Roundabout plate and cup as a toddler. She drank the milk, looked in the cup and said "I see Be-ab" (Brian - the snail). I still have a tendency to call snails Be-ab!
