That reminds me Tim, on my way home from the plot on Saturday morning, Mark Llamar played the theme from Champion The Wonder Horse.  I loved that when I was a nipper, late 70's, not the first time round.  I sung it all the way home and kept boring people with it all day Saturday.  Memories!

I used to like Champion the Wonder Horse... and The Flashing Blade... and Arthur of the Britons... oh dear, my childhood seems to be crawling before my eyes...

Cheers,
Rob ;)

Bet none of you can remember Mr Bean and his Wonderful Machine or Humprey Lestock and Mr. Turniptop.
Still nostalgia ain't what it used to be!

oh that's brought it all back rob ... and the singing ringing tree ... Robinson Crusoe with that crackly theme tune ... and of course the theme tune to the Flashing Blade ::) - and all that terrible dubbing ... :-X

The ones I looked up were the Dick Barton & Paul Temple themes.

Journey into Space 8)

Oh, YES!!

This got left off -

Hitchhiker's Guide??

There wasn't an intro tune for The Man in Black - remember the dark brown velvety voice of Valentine Dyall? Thanks for the link, Tim. I'll have fun browsing it.......(now off to listen to Mrs. Dale's Diary - harp music!)  ;D

Yes again!

But what about We are the Ovaltinies??....!!

What the hell is that they all say?

We are the Ovaltinies, little girls and boys,
Make your request we'll not refuse you,
We are there just to amuse you,
Would you like a song or story?
Will you share our joys?
At work and play we're more than keen,
Because we all drink Ovaltine,
We're happy girls and boys
;D

Oh, no! And I thought that you were in your 40's!!

No worries tim that was google!
;)

I was an Ovaltinie ;D

Had a Badge and the Secret Code 8)

 ;D ;D

Me too, I was an Ovaltinie!!!

I used to go to the ABC Minors as well and watch Zoro.......

Was also a Brownie.   This is what we do as Elves, Think of others not ourselves!!!!

Wore a liberty bodice too......

"We are the boys and girls well known as
Minors of the ABC
And every Saturday all line up
To see the films we like
And shout aloud with glee
We like to laugh and have our singsong
A merry crowd are we -eee
We're all friends to-geth-er
The minors of the A B C"

I've only just realized that I had a Deprived Childhood :o I was NEVER a Minor of the ABC - so spect that was where you were all at on Saturday mornings when I was black-leading the grate and  Cardinal polishing the back step?

What did Larkin say ...."they f*** you up, your Mum and Dad...

I was never a minor either, it would have Cost my father Money. I'm not sure I missed so much.

It cost us empty jam jars

Yes i remember it was Jam Jars that allowed me in.  Not much money around in the 50s.  There was some noise in the Cinema tho.  hundreds of children all screaming whenever something exciting came on the screen. Think I was given a 1d for a sweetie tho.   

;D ;D ;D
