Maid Marian and Her Merry Men - brilliant!
I mentioned Mike and Angelo in my list Loved that in its earlier seasons.
What about The Adventures of T-Bag?
Speaking of Maid Marian, Mark Billingham who played Gary, one of the Sheriff's guard is now perhaps more well-known as an author. Back in 2010 two of his books featuring DI Tom Thorne were dramatised by Sky 1

The above plus Vision On,Mary,Mungo And Midge....Captain Pugwash and probably others as and when I think of 'em.
Vision On: remember those funny little silent films that used to get shown as part of the show, and the Viewers' Gallery, where they showed a selection of viewers' drawings?
Mary, Mungo and Midge: a young girl, dog and mouse left unsupervised in a tower block. Where were social services?
Captain Pugwash: if only there really were characters in that called Master Bates and Seaman Staines.
How could everyone forget Animals of Farthing Wood!? Best childrens show of the 90s!!
Another one I completely forgot about! Think it slipped my mind as it was BBC (?) and I usually watched ITV, but I did definitely used to watch Animals of Farthing Wood. I used to get the books out of the mobile library at school too although I don't think I ever ploughed all the way through one!
Its a crime that ITV still have yet to give it a dvd release!
There are a lot of programmes in more of a "series" format (where the story progressed from one episode to the next) - Mike and Angelo, Animals of Farthing Wood, Spooks of Bottle Bay should all be available on DVD. Here's hoping it happens one day!
I'm racking my brain trying to remember the title of this cartoon I used to love as a kid.
There were these 4 superhero types who were on this ship...one of them used to answer 'Big 10' if he was asked to do anything.
I think one was called Mercury or something similar....arrgghhhh! Racking me brains now.....

What about 'Happy Monsters', does anyone remember that? It was shown on Channel 5 in the very early 2000s, and it was about a little girl who lived with her Dad and they bought a breakfast cereal which came with a monster. Well, it came with the seeds of a monster (or something like that) and when she put the seeds in the bath they would grow into full-sized friendly monsters. Quite an obscure one - can't find anything about it on the internet besides an IMDB page!
Another one I completely forgot about! Think it slipped my mind as it was BBC (?) and I usually watched ITV, but I did definitely used to watch Animals of Farthing Wood. I used to get the books out of the mobile library at school too although I don't think I ever ploughed all the way through one!

Their must be some way of getting hold of these tv series without begging people on download sites to see if they have them. I wish ITV would just have a way of allowing us to watch old shows on demand.
Does anyone recall that series in about 1978, when a modern girl staying in the country goes back to the Elizabethan era, and falls in love with a young man there? I recall it referring to the tune, Greensleeves. Was that the title?
I used to love the start, when you had the revolving music box, and the topped opened, and the character who was to be the main focus of the story rose out of the top. I also liked the end credits, where you had one of the characters turning a crank to move the credits along a piece of cloth on rollers.

Anyone? It was sort of like Wacky Races, only it was teams of rollerskaters, not car drivers.

I vaguely remember that one but I don't think it's been shown on British TV for donkey's years

Loved it! They picked my school once.. we didn't win
And we must remember to make sure the lift door is shut

The only thing I hated about the show was that the Original Angelo got replaced by a bad actor!

If anyone remembers Spooks of Bottle Bay I've been uploading some full episodes to YouTube at www.youtube.com/user/spooksofbottlebay
Tim Whitnall was superb in it. I used to love it with the first two Mikes then they introduced a girl (Michaela, IIRC).

Linkety link
I did watch other shows like Fireman Sam, Postman Pat, Wacky Races etc, but Thomas was it mainly!
I never minded Ringo's narration of the show but Michael Angelis made it for me!
A really top-notch narrator with a good variety of accents at the ready!
I think I might just search YouTube now for some really classic episodes now!
