Heartland

Hehe, I remember the old testcard, the crummy Anglia plastic man on a horse, and I've got all of Bewitched on video somewhere.

LOL! I vaguely remember that.
Wasn't the dubbing slightly suspect, like they were deliberately taking the p!ss?

Big Ted, Little Ted, Humpty, Jemima, Hamble.
As a kid I seem to remember thinking that Hamble probably smelt of poo.

Where did you get them from. I've got an almost full set but two episodes never get shown. ("The Encounter" & "An occurrence at owl creek bridge")

An urban myth. It was Master Mate.
There was no Seaman Stains either. The other guy was called Barnabus.
Oh, and the cabin boy was Tom, not Roger.


Oh, that made me thing of Barnaby, voiced by Derek Griffiths, and he also did something called Ring A Ding.
Oh, and something called Issi Noho about some creature who lived in a cardboard box and got his name from the partially obscured writing on the box (This side up. No Hooks).
Mary Mungo And Midge, voiced by a newsreader dude, someone like Richard Baker.
Paperplay (a woman with two spider hand puppets.)
And the schools programmes. Picture Box, with a rather scary theme tune is one I remember.
And who can forget the best saturday morning childrens programme ever, TISWAS.

the original 'Outer Limits' was far scarier

Yes, I loved that tune and I'm still looking for a copy! Ditto for most other theme tunes by Ron Grainer, Alan Parker and anything else done in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

All I seem to remember is the creepy music.Can't recall what the programme was about?

Do any of you remember the public info films? I remember 'Charlie says'
Now that gave me the creeps.

Must not leave Tufty out.

All girls who like horses...Black Beauty.Theme tune brill

Well being a child of the eighties, born in 76, my fondest memories are of trap door for some reason... (no wonder I turned to drugs later in life..)




Though given half my families from Somerset I think I may have developed some kind of affinity with Burk...

I regularly treat myself to a bit of Burk, Boney and Drutt.



SNIFF THAT!!

'Getting old if you remember......' waiting for the record shop to open, the day the last Sisters album was released

I like the Black Beauty theme as well but ever since it featured on Alan Partridge, it reminds me too much of him. Britain did great public information films in the 70s, the fire prevention ones being particularly scary. They were mainly animated and with a very authoritative, apocalyptic tone - Patrick Allen maybe - I suspect he did a lot of the voicework for PI films in the 70s. Incidentally, Protect & Survive is now availabe on DVD at amazon. I've been hunting for a copy of this for years.

The 'Charly Say's, 'Rolf Harris' and many other were released on DVD too, I ken a man who has one.

respect geezer -i'ld completely forgotten about issie noho and i used to f**king love that programme!he was a panda who got himself into and out of trouble by using "magic squares" to cast spells;the effects of which were randomly unpredictable.it wasnt even proper animation,just a series of sequential stills(with the exception of a moving spiral to indicate a spell being cast). p.s.late on this topic as just got back from a week in prague...repeat after me"and you wont make me jealous"

the water margin

gloriously uninhibited after the restraint of david carradine as glasshopper

and just as badly dubbed as anything from czechoslovakia

I'll add my twopenneth, as no-one has mentioned yet:
Torchy the Battery Boy
Four Feather Falls
Skippy
HR Pufnstuff
and others as I think of them..

Big place the RAH...

Still, in amongst all that huddled mass, at least one of our friends managed to get in with a tape recorder, and press the record button some time before everyone else did...

don't look at me Burn I wasn't there!
I do have the original video and the Channel 5 VHSs
