Having bought the boxed sets of Duckula and Dangermouse, I just hope they actually watched the chosen show prior to transmission.
Believe it or not, there are poor DM and CD episodes :eek: and it would be such a let down for the people who haven't invested in the boxed sets to see a less-than-superb episode after all the hoop-la of being the best cartoons since sliced Hovis.
For example, they are showing the first and last episodes of Press Gang. IMHO, wrong decision. There were many two parters like a drugs, with a young Sadie Frost, as well as a hostage in the office storyline that would have better to show over the two days.
But, I think its great that CITV are doing this, I wish CBBC did something similar and showed Byker Grove, Gruey and Jossy's Giants to name but three!

Loved seeing Supergran again. I remembered the Mike & Angelo they just had on, it was the early series.
I'd like CBBC to do this as well. Do you remember Sea View with a young Yvette Fielding? They could show Johnny Briggs and Grange Hill, definitely Jossy's Giants. What else?
I'd have liked the old skool weekend to have shown The Pink Windmill Show with Rod Hull and Emu with Grotbags! Anyone remember her? She was great

I am so excited right now and have reverted back to my childhood. Tbag was my fav show wish it had been in one of the later show as I preferred the blond girl Sally?

I recognise the ginger girl, she's been in quite a lot of things since. The Upper Hand, for one thing. Elizabeth Estensen was great in this

Definitely remember Seaview. My ultimate repeat would be Bad Boyes. There are a few segments on Youtube which shows perfectly how good/bad it was. Don't care! Complete guilty pleasure of when life was so much easier!
My only problem is that sometimes seeing a show with adult eyes ruins child memories. The disappointment I felt when I watched Star Fleet 3 years ago was terrible.
After someone mentioned Running Scared with the Kate Bush intro that I remembered, I watched that on YouTube. That from '86 has stood up well.

I didn't recognise Bad Boyes when you said it but just looked at it on YouTube and as soon as I heard the theme tune it came back to me!
Running Scared is another one I'd forgotten about. I used to love that. I'd love to see it again. Ah the memories!

The sound quality was terrible.
