I used to really impress all my mates at school by telling them I had a Rainbow album. It was only when they visited the house that they would discover it was Rod, Freddie et al rather than Ritchie Blackmore!!!

I can do decent impressions of George and Zippy. And Yogi Bear.

I can remember sprinting out of school at 12 midday to make it home for 12:10 when Rainbow started. If I really pushed it I could catch the end of Jamie and his Magic Torch or Cholrton and the Wheelies too. Good times!!

I hope this works.

I preferred the strident sounding Zippy - zipped.

Please do not utter that second rate crap in the presence of greatness!

Actually, I made a mistake, it was Ulysees 31. Also, wasn't it The Mysterious Cities Of Gold?? Anyway, Count Duckula was a bit of love hate one for me, not half becuase it was on ITV, and I usually only watched BBC (having adverts between each show was just downright uncouth to me!).

Dangermouse too

When I was VERY small that just scared me - it was the music and the fact that when the car flew, the wheels disappeared, and I was going through an obsession with wheels at the time!!

Anything without wheels was just wrong on so many different levels, and as an extension to that, I didn't like people who only wore socks - you HAD to have shoes on, or, you went bare foot!
I used to call people who went about in their socks, 'Sockers'.

I was a strange kid though.

now Cheetara from Thundercats was a bit of alright with the big mound and princess from battle of the planets with her flashing her white knickers in the opening titles :shudders: all the memories of a 13 yr old boy flooding back now.
