    Hey what kids programmes did you watch?

    Having had five children I have watched a lot.

    Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends...in the Ringo Starr days when it was a model train set and Thomas et al did not move their mouths when they spoke.

    Humphrey Bear (Aussie kids show, ran for 40 years).

    Romper Room (ditto)

    Sesame Street :D (I watched it in the good ol' 70's myself before it went boringly politically correct)

    Mr Squiggle

    Ridgey Didge

    Fat Cat and Friends

    Those were faves in my home :)

    Im so glad someone else remembers Centurions!

    Those figures they brought out were super massive.

    Think I have the Jake one somewhere.

    For nostalgia purposes (if I had them) and also because they're probably enjoyable as well:

    He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
    Danger Mouse
    Jamie and the Magic Torch
    Button Moon
    Bagpuss
    Worzel Gummidge
    Metal Mickey
    She-Ra
    Thomas the Tank Engine
    Sesame Street
    Fraggle Rock
    Count Duckula
    Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers
    Duck Tales
    Grotbags
    Chocky
    Power Rangers

    I think that's it. I used to watch other things as well, but they weren't exactly strictly aimed at kids. I used to watch Power Rangers with my sister and I had left school when I started watching that.

    Even watching Jamie and the Magic Torch you can see how the creators of harry and his Bucketful of Dinosaurs ripped someone elses ideas off.

    I think CITV because it had more stuff I enjoyed like Emus World, He-man, dangermouse and a load more. I did like Rentaghost on BBC though.

    Kids TV wasn't a big deal when I was little (and colour telly hadn't been invented) but I have a 14 year old autistic son who would still happily watch Thomas The Tank!

    My earlier favourites, from the early 70s, were as follows:

    Play School
    Camberwick Green/Trumpton
    Bagpuss
    Rhubarb
    Sam on Boff's Island: not many people seem to remember this, but it included little stop-motion animated photography, and a machine that you fed words into, or that spelt out words.

    I must be similar ages to you lot as I watched most of these. Zzap was great. As was Bernard's watch. I really liked the Quuens nose. Sabrina was pretty good. Fun house was just the coolest show ever! I liked Saturday morning stuff like Live and Kicking and SMTV live. God if only Saturday mornings were like that now. It would be worth getting up for!

    The Double Deckers
    Banana Splits
    Kizzy
    Lizzie Dripping and the Witch
    Grange Hill

    As a younger child it was Andy Pandy

    Bizzie Lizzie

    And an American programme called Camp Runamuck that I remember watching on a Saturday

    As a kid, I remember loving shows called Julia Jekyll and Harriet Hyde, Monster Cafe, The Worst Witch, Grange Hill and Byker Grove. I also remember a show called The Biz set in a stage school starring Paul Nicholls.

    I also remember being at uni and watching Balamory (why, I still don't know to this day!)

    I think that's it. I used to watch other things as well, but they weren't exactly strictly aimed at kids. I used to watch Power Rangers with my sister and I had left school when I started watching that.

    Just to say that I thought the first post was asking which children's shows would we watch again that we used to watch back when we were younger. I misread it. I don't know why I put the bit in bold down because I did like watching them. Some more than others though. I would only get some of them on DVD now though.
