Does anyone remember Sara & Hoppity? I loved this programme in the early 1960’s. I even called my first born Sara! I saw an old You Tube of this yesterday and oh my goodness I found it a bit creepy but at 5 years old I adored it and never forgotten it. Another favourite was Torchy the Battery Boy. How childrens TV has moved on! I enjoy Peppa Pig and Fireman Sam now watching them with my grandchildren😂

Crackerjack! huge cabbages always remind me of this,
‘The cabin in the clearing’ - Settlers and Pawnee,
Robin Hood, Lone Ranger, Billy Bunter, Tarzan!
Hans & Lottie Hass, underwater
Johnny Morris at London Zoo,
Great Expectations (Magwitch in the graveyard!)
the perennial Secret Garden
Little Women
Champion the Wonder horse
Tom&Jerry cartoons, that’s all, foks!
and films
Ivanhoe, Lorna Doone, The Black Tulip, The thief of Baghdad,
I’m really scraping the brain cells here down memory lane.

We saw those white horses when we went to Slovenia.

All these memories had me singing the theme tunes in my head. I remember most things up to 1976 when I left the country.

Does anyone remember "Compact"? A soap opera about the staff of a women's magazine. I think the chief editor was called Camilla.

I remember Compact and emergency ward, 10..

Was Ollie Beak on a programme with a lady called Aisha Brough, (or something similar?)
I always thought she was really beautiful and exotic looking.

Speaking of pretty women, Shari Lewis and Lambchop!
Both of them were lookers. smile

I never got into the tv for young children as a child as we didn't have a tv until I was a bit older. I find some children's tv a bit baffling but my grandson loves fireman sam, postman pat and paw patrol and they at least make sense to me.
