TV favourites from your childhood

I remember some lunchtime trade test transmissions on BBC2. One was John Piper and the stained glass windows of Liverpool's Catholic Cathedral. Another was of an Australian Landtrain. I remember from this the driver and his mate taking the labels off their canned food to make anything they made more interesting.

12:50 for the pre lunch cig followed by the cooking of the haute cuisine.

Vision On!
Great programme but I never realised it was a programme for the deaf until I was very grown up.

As you're not here anymore. I'm not offending you,so didn't you suss it was for deaf children seeing as they had the woman doing sign language throughout the program?

This makes me sad.

It makes me think of me around 4 or 5 watching it with my now dear departed mum.

Try this:
Sit somewhere nice and quiet.
Press 'play'

Close your eyes.
Stretch all your fingers out as far as you can, whilst taking five deep breaths.

Banana Splits - I still want a banana buggy!
Space 1999 - Funky 1st season theme, great model FX...and they had banana buggies too!
Blakes 7 - wibbly wobbly sets and spaceships, Avon was bloody brilliant...and THAT ending!
Doctor Who - (with the real Doctor - Tom Baker)...Tom...what can we say?. Always my Doctor...forever
Thunderbirds - love it, pioneering FX with Derek Medding's fabulous miniatures, iconic theme
The Monkees - watched it for the music, slapstick shenanigans, okay fun on a 70's Saturday morning before Swap Shop arrived
The Goodies - Brilliant. Full DVD box set now out...RIP Tim
Joe 90 - vaguely remember it but never really bought into everyone thinking a 10 year old could be a spy or whatever...even for an Anderson show
Magic Roundabout - (the proper one, not that computer generated rubbish! Pah!).. Fantastic, always looked forweard to 5.40pm on BBC1 for those last 5 mins of kids telly. I get the 'adult' supposed refs now
Sapphire and Steel - a bit boring for me, preferred Dr Who. Another one with a strange ending.
The Avengers - currently enjoying repeats on ITV4, love 60's 'spyfy'.....Mrs Peel, we're needed!

Oh happy days. Ah, yes, Happy Days - with The Fonz.

In bold above...oh happier days, long hot summer school holidays

I heard that Daddy Woodentop was into dogging and caught woodworm, and died before the disease modifying drugs were developed.
