The All New Jeni B
onlineMemberRoobarb and Custard. But best memories of Captain Pugwash, Ivor The Engine, Chigley/Trumpton/Camberwick Green, Bagpuss, and Fingerbobs.
Have most of them on DVD now, and I definitely think most of the writers were stoned.

The All New Jeni B
onlineMemberI loved Barbapapa too. My language teacher uncle gave me the books in French one Christmas, I must've been about 7, and I could understand them by New Year.
I suppose it's a bit later, more like early 80s , but The New Schmoo was good too.
Loved The Moomins as well.Posted 3 years ago # -

What about "Trap Door"? I know, it's mid/ late 80's but it really caught the attention of those of us who were either of a student persusation or chemically challenged at the time.
Plastercine characters, Willy Rushton doing the vocals, stop frame animatiton, it's a must to show your kids.

Other than myself and my parents, I've only met one other person who has heard of this. It was on on Sundays in the early to mid 70s.Posted 3 years ago # -

And yes, I did do a College project on "The Evolution and Development of Childrens Programmes - From Entertainment to Education."

Saturday morning it was either Noel Edmunds in a poncy sweater playing the latest from Sad Cafe OR Sally James in a wet T-shirt playing something from The Lurkers - apparently my dad was a big fan of The Lurkers.

onlineMemberOoh! Loved Dick Turpin. Given that my parents were really quite strict about the time I was allowed to spend watching tv, I seem to remember an awful lot of it.
