following on from the thread about sweeties we remember from our dim and distant pasts, I've found the most amazing website about children's TV from days gone by and am SO excited I had to share it!!!
http://www.thechestnut.com/
my personal favourties are Michael Bentine's Potty Time, Ludwig and Paperplay ;D
-
Here comes Muffin, Muffin the mule, Here comes Muffin playing the fool, Here comes Muffin everybodies friend, her comes Muffin the Mule.. with Annette??
Oh he fell in the water..Woodentops
Little Weed... Bill and Ben
The very first childrens thing I saw on TV was about a patch of lottie veggies that all had names, I can't remember the name of the show but it was 1953.
Oh what fun.

might that have been The Herbs?
that has Dill the Dog, Parsley the Lion, Mr and Mrs Onion and the Chives, and loads more in it ;D
-
where's Tales of the Riverbank with Hammy the Hamster????
I thought the Woodentops were rubbish when I was little. It was always disappointing when it was their turn on Children Hour (or whatever it was called)
-
How can they have missed off the Wombles from their list - not only a great children's program but ground breaking in its presentation of green issues and recycling!!!!
-
Never had a telly when I was a nipper, but I used to ba an Ovaltiney

-
What no Hammy!
::)
-
Fingerbobs AND The Herbs, I still remember the words ;D :-[
-
The one I saw was a lot before the Herbs, it was cabbages and cucumbers and was an awful programme.
-
Anyone remember Tugboat Annie?
Pottytime and the Clangers and the Bumblies, and Billy Bean and his Funny Machine were all favourites in our house. ;D
-

The Herbs were FAB! Dill the dog, Parsley the Lion!
I liked Hectors House as well - but Kiki the frog freaked me out. Always popping up over the wall when you least expected it. A voyeuristic amphibian.
Hector was a miserable old git but I sort of bonded with him when I was 5.
The Clangers: Oh yes! Class programme! And the soup dragon ... I was inventing recipes for the underground reptilian version of Jamie Oliver when I was 6.

How about the wonderfull BAGPUSS!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Chorlton & The Wheelies - the most surreal kids programme ever! I used to come home from school at lunchtime just to watch this! And I was about 15 at the time...
"Aye oop little old lady" ;D ;D ;D
Cheers,
Rob ;)

This is Fab ;D

Children of the Stones
Pardon my Genie
CATWEASEL
Noggin the Nog (with Nogbad the Bad)
-
I love the clangers, and chorlton and the wheelies, I liked the way the witch popped around..and worzel gummidge
I remember when i was younger a program where a bloke was dressed up as a woman, in black and white and it was like slapstick..anyone got any ideas..mr pastry comes to mind but that's not it :)
oh, yes, rt..catweasel and his electrickery ;D
-
Old Mother Riley!! She had a dughter in the movies too. I have acouple of them
-
The Beverly Hillbillies, Bonanza, Lassie,The Munsters.
-
Old Mother Riley! i remember the way she cut bread - about 3 inches thick, Wasn't "Her" daughter called Kitty?
-
Just wasted well over an hour following Utube links!
;D
-
Old Mother Riley was Arther Lucan, he died on stage at the Tivoli in Hull and is buried here.
His wife was Kitty McShane ,she played his daughter Kitty in the films.
-
Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds,and not really a kids program but i thought Star trek was the bees knees when i was a tadpole, and who could forget Batman. :)
-
that's the one, Jeannine..also, you're right Emaggie..the beverly hillbillies still makes me laugh now ;D

I Love Lucy and Bilko!
-
BILKO IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE EMAGGS!!
My late Grandad was Colonel Hall's doppleganger - he lived in Goole though, so I know it wasn't him really ;D
Did you know: Phil Silvers starred in Marilyn Monroe's last ever film 'Something's Got to Give'. She died before it was finished.
And poor old Phil ended his days believing he was actually Bilko :(
I am such a MINE of useful information it frightens me sometimes ::)
And my daughter Daisy calls me Grandma Clampitt since we got the Ford pick-up truck ;D She's not far wrong actually .....
-
the actor playing Colonel Hall was called "Melon Head"
remember the series phil siver's did after Bilko was taken off after the US army complained about it? set in a factory, same kind of tricks, not very good
-
Don't remember that Rhubarb. I was probably an embryo at the time!
-
Got any links to it? And why did the US army get it taken off air?
Nooooo .... don't tell me ::)
-
I certainly remember him being interviewed on TV here being not happy after it was cancelled. Wiki says it was too expensive not that the army didn't like it
The factory thing had some light or siren that went off warning them that someone important was coming and they had hidden rooms etc to hide the card games etc It was called "The New phil Silvers Show"
Remember "Carry on -Follow that Camel"?
-
We have all the Carry on Movies and they have to go!!
-
I hope you haven't got "Carry on Columbus" or "Carry on Emmanuel", Jeannine. "Carry on England" was also dreadful (not that i've seen the first two).
-
Some Carry on films were HORRIBLY politically incorrect. Carry on up the Khyber is the latest one that I've seen again and thought 'Oh my goodness & FOR F**CK'S SAKE.
But having said that. The Carry on films that didn't have a political or social agenda were genuinely funny.
The Carry on Lord giveth, and the Carry on Lord taketh away!
Watch Carry On Screaming or Carry on at Your Covenience. These are the mainstays.

-
Carry on up the Kyber is definitely the best. It (almost) qualifies as a good film (That'll teach them to ban turbans on the buses!). the dinner party at the end is a hoot
They're very popular in India
Carry on Screaming
Foul
Feet
Smell
Something Horrible
-
Liked 'Do not adjust your set'
What ever became of them ,anything?
-
Rhubarb Thrasher! Let me take this opportinuty to thrash you where your rhubarb don't shine!
I suspect that last post was ironic .. but I can't be objective at the moment. Just ordered a curry (honest to goodness) My head is ON FIRE.
How about this one?

-
if ordering a curry makes your head go on fire TB, what happens when you actually eat it? I made a curry from scratch tonite so i.m better than you.
Ealing Comedies are truly great films. Carry On films are things we grew up with, so they're great for us, but not really great films. (My that's a big one! I'm from Texas Mam. We've all got big ones there. It's not exactly Oscar Wilde, is it?)
Abba in Ramones Style (http://www.gabba.co.uk/pinhead.mp3)
they're called GABBA
-
PMSL at Gabba!
I've just eaten it. My own fault because I ordered it. You are better than me and no mistake. ;D
Does anyone remember Mary, Mungo & Midge?
-
Well, This thread is getting longer and longer, and still no mention of the skipper of the Black Pig and his crew of Seaman Staines or Master Bates.
Da da da da, da da da, da da da da didley da da.

We never had TV when I was little, but I remember Larry the Lamb on the radio, and the policeman who was always taking peoples' names and addresses. I don't think that would deter the local youth for long!
-
Rutland weekend television. Shane they took it off

-
Where are my replies?
This internet nuts gets RIGHT on my nerves!

RHUBARB! I have just lost control of my pelvic floor - despite YEARS of exercises since the birth of my children.
NOW JUST STOP IT!
Having said that, I might just Google 'The Ruttles' ... and some other funny stuff.
-

Meal Suggestion for Trixiebelle:
ARGGHH! I hate Mars bars but nevertheless, that clip is funny on account of Delia's smock. I'm not a fan of sweet things, especially deep-fried
I,ve got the Rutles on dvd
[/quote]
Why does that not surprise me!
Bet you haven't got 'The Great McGonagall'
Now then ... why am I suddenly craving a deep-fried Mars Bar?

I do have "Poetic Gems" - selected from the Works of William McGonagal. Poet and Tragedian
Oh mighty city of New York
your buildings are magnificent, the truth be told,
they were the only thing that seemed to arrest my eye,
because many of them are thirteen storeys high

My favourates would have to be ......
The old hammer house of horror movies...Boris Karloff, Bella Lugosi, Vincent Price, and Christopher Lee. (I know I was a weird wean, and out of bed far later than I should have been)
There was a double bill on a Friday night and they came under the heading of "Don't watch alone!" ;D ;D ;D scared the cr*p out of me ;D ;D ;D
I used to watch normal stuff too :-\
Bagpuss,
Bill and Ben,
