Like a streak of lightnin' flashing 'cross the sky

The time will come when everyone will know
The name of.....Champion the wonder horse

Champion the wonder horse

I remember Willie Rushton (sp?) reading the Jackanory...and that weird woman with the norfolk accent...she gave me the creeps...

i remember the playschool toys...but not their names

and Lost in Space in B/W was dreadful...almost as bad as the Land Of the Giants...cheesy US 60/70's trash...

what was the cartoon where the family went down a wirlpool into a dinosaurs realm...damn that was bad....

guys if you wanna play games...
where is this from then??? (pretty simple really...)

Down in the meadow when the wind's in the west, the lightning tree stands up to the test. Dreams come true if you want them to, if you want them to then it's up to you.

f**k, i'm old.

Shoot me, they shoot horses don't they.

Dave R · 25 Mar 2005, 23:43

you mean this...
Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy.
Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye.

He's got style, a groovy style,
and a car that just won't stop.
When the going gets tough, he's really rough,
with a Hong Kong Phooey chop (Hi-Ya!)

Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy.
Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye.
Hong Kong Phooey, he's fan-riffic (gong!)

One banana, two banana, three banana, four.
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Comin' on to bring you The Banana Splits Show.

Makin up a mess of fun
Makin up a mess of fun
Lot's of fun for everyone.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

Four banana, three banana, two banana, one.
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun.
Flippin like a pancake, poppin like a cork
Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

Who says you have to call just one place home.
He's goin' everywhere,

Ladies keep improvin'
Every day is better than the last.
New dreams and better scenes,
And best of all I don't pay property tax.

Rollin' down to Dallas,
Who's providin' my palace,
Off to New Orleans or who knows where.
Places new and ladies, too,
I'm B.J. McKay and this is my best friend Bear.

Ahhhhh Follyfoot.

White Horses, The Singing Ringing Tree, Danger Island, Belle and Sebastian...I always wanted to be Billy from the Double Deckers *sigh* Was rooting through some old books at school and found a Jackanory one 'Littlenose'. I always remember Mrs Pepperpot stories from there too...and and story about a girl who had a pet crow who used to caw 'Neva mawah'

Erm Tomorrow People, The Kids from 47A, Kizzy, The Secret Garden...I used to go out to play HONEST

Who remembers Fat Tulip's Garden? Twas a fav of Number One Son's

Funnily enough I was downloading the theme music from this the other day. It's quite badly scanned:

Autobots use their power TO/
Fight the evil forces OF/
The Decepticons.

Maybe it's better in Japanese.

Can't believe nobody mentioned Mysterious Cities of Gold.

Children of the sun, see your time has just begun /
Searching for your way, through adventure every day /
Every da-ay and night, with your condor in flight ....

Can't remember the rest.

The french version could be even cheesier, something like "au bord du grand condor, pour recherche les cites d'or".

Between all of us sat on the front row in German last week, we had all the Wombles songs, all the Smurfs CDs, and my contribution: Every Banana Splits song as mp3.

God bless them. I only saw the show twice.

Also, I'm watching old downloaded episodes of the original Twilight Zone. Is this me being old, or sad?

Yes, Tina Heath. If I remember correctly, her run as a BP presenter was short and disappointingly scandal-free.

"Lizzie Dripping Lizzie Dripping
Don't look now your skirt is slipping!"

Or something to that effect. I remeber getting a row from my mother for singing it.

Gee, I'm a good catholic girl so I never knew such a song!

Btw.I never knew Tina Heath played the part of Lizzie Dripping.

Captain Pugwash was also a fav with Master Bates!

Grown up prog I remember watching were 'Tales of the Unexpected' 'Play for today' and 'Thats life' in school hols.
