Tales from the Riverbank 1960 

Rats and rodents galore. The twitching noses of Hammy Hamster and Roderick the Rat have no doubt stayed with many of us.


Teddy Edward 1970

Dereck Griffiths of Play School fame, I think, was behind this song and story programme. 


Terry and June 1979 

When he wasn't dressed upa as a little boy advertising "Curlywurly's", Terry Scott joined forces with June Whitfield in a sitcom which showed no imagination in it's title.



That's Life 1973 


These Are The Days 19?? 
A cartoon that showed life with a family on a farm. I have a vague memory of remembering that it was one of those serious style cartoons. Rocking chairs, hens and cows. Thats all I remember.


This is Your Life 1955 



(The) Three Musketeers 1968 

This was another classic Banana Splits cartoon.


  3-2-1  1978 

This early eighties quiz show, hosted by Ted Rogers who tied his fingers in a knot every time he said "3-2-1", was a combination of a quiz show with 3 pairs of contestants whittled down to 2 and finally 1. Hence the name. The final pair had to put up with several sketches of which each left them with a riddle. The joy of the program was seeing how the contestants reacted when Ted explained the riddle. They always looked more perplexed than before. With a big prize and "Dusty the Bin" booby prize, this was a classic.


Thunderbirds 1965 

Made a revival in recent years, certainly the best of all the Gerry Anderson puppet shows. Most people will remember how you could buy Matchbox or Dinky versions of each Thunderbird. Always seem to have a story of  2 guys stuck in a caved in area, time running out, sweat on a puppet with the odd real hand used in close ups, and the only answer was International Rescue.....F.A.B.! In all 32 episodes were made.

Top Cat (Boss Cat) 1963 

Boss Cat ?or Top Cat ?.... that is the question. The song claims, "close friends get to call him T.C." Therefore we assume that he's Boss Cat to his enemies, like Officer Dibble .Also amongst Top Cats gang were Fancy, ChuChu, Benny the Ball and Brains. Apparently, Sgt Bilko was the inspiration of this great cartoon.
