Old TV programmes remembered

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.

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.

Olly Beak yes ! Recall that one MissAdventure😀

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..

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.

The wooden tops with spotty dog, Bill and Ben with little Weeeeed. I also enjoyed Dr. who, Champion the Wonder Horse. Mr. Ed the talking horse. But I also was a bit of a bookworm…..

Oh your name has just reminded me of Ollie Beek (beak?)
An owl puppet.

Thats all I can remember, though.

Oh nostalgia! I’m of the Watch with Mother and Listen with Mother generation. The other early TV programmes I remember are Billy Bean and his Funny Machine (and Cuckoo), Prudence Kitten and Muffin the Mule. I also remember a cartoon with a cowboy called Hank, but can’t remember the name. Anyone know?

I liked the programme with the song... "On white horses, let me ride away... blah de something. When the day is done, we'll race beneath the sun!"

Saggi

Houseful of brothers …so The Lone Ranger….Hopalong Cassidy…..Popeye…..but I do remember Andy Pandy and Four Feather Falls

I liked The Lone Ranger with Tonto
Hi Yo Silver away!
Probably non-pc now but I had a cowboy outfit and a gun with caps.

MissAdventure

Mr Ben.
The man who went into a clothes shop, out the back of a wardrobe, (I think) and went off for faraway adventures, wearing his chosen outfit.

My DS loved Mr Ben.
And Bod
The girls liked Bagpuss

My era was Bill and Ben, Muffin the Mule and Andy Pandy

Then there was the Magic Roundabout 😁
Who knew!

I think all of the puppets were unsettling in those times, but it's all we had to watch.

Gosh Singing Ringing Tree, it really frightened me as a young child, much preferred The Woody Tops!

On Saturday DH and I watched Dixon of Dock Green - now that was a blast from the past!!

Children of Fire Mountain, The Flame Trees of Thika, Heidi, Box of Delights, The Moondial, Stig of the Dump, LW&W, Harold Lloyd, Dad’s Army, Laurel&Hardy, Supergran,
Fraggle Rock, He man & She-Ra, Flight of the Condor,
Metal Mickey, Pingu, then moved up to the A Team - they loved Mad Murdoch, essentially, the more anarchic the programme the better, which led them neatly into
The Muppet Show.
I’m feeling quite nostalgic now!

Goodness me! I'd forgotten about some of these.....Metal Mickey! Such fun.

Thanks for reminding me 🤗

Ooh, the Double Deckers!
Get on board, get on board, got on board with the double deckers...

Me too.. not heard of ones above

We had:-

Andy Pandy, Muffin the Mule, Sooty and Sweep, Prudence Kitten, the Clangers, and Magic Roundabout.

I also loved things on the wireless such as Dan Dare and Radio Lixemburg.

I forgot Lost in Space and the Munsters. Wonder what children today would make of them???

Bill and Ben, tales of the riverbank, Andy Pandy and my favourite the Wooden tops- just loved Spotty Dog! My Mum said my brother and I would cry at the end of Watch with Mother as we didn't want it to end!
When I was a bit older I loved Daktari, Skippy the Bush kangaroo, Top Cat, Tarzan, Robinson Crusoe (lovely theme tune), Time Slip, Doctor Who (was utterly terrified of the Cybermen), Belle and Sebastian, Animal Magic. A long list but we didn't really watch much TV as by thr time we had tea there was probably less than an hour of suitable TV programmes on. Didn't even see a colour TV till I was in my teens so my childhood programmes were inblack and white. We did go to the local cinema on a Saturday morning to watch Batman and cartoons. No adult accompanied us. Happy days.

Oh The Munsters & The Beverley Hill Billies but maybe they were later years.

Knightmare!!

Tinker & Taylor with Alan Taylor ... Thunderbirds ... Hectors House ... Top Cat ... Daktari ... The Flinstones ... Stingray ... Joe90 ... Lost In Space ...
