What did you watch as a kid? What were your favourites?
Anyone remember The Kids From 47A?

[Arti]

Wow, waking up to many blasts from the past. Funny, how common it was to have the foreign, dubbed films on for kids on Saturday mornings. The Flashing Blade theme is great. The Red Hand Gang; was that the US one with Matthew Laborteaux who went on to Little House On The Prairie? Chorlton and the Wheelies was a bit scary, especially the witch. Tig, I remember Armchair Thriller...just. The Banana Splits; my favourite bit in the middle was The Arabian Nights

Yes, I remember the Kids from number 47A. I think I've tried to find it on youtube but had no luck. There was a programme on at around the same time called Pardon My Genie.
I loved the black and white Robinson Crusoe programmes in the summer holidays- you can find some of those on Youtube.
I also liked I Love Lucy and Gilligan's Island- but when I watched the latter on Youtube I was quite disappointed to find it wasn't as good as I thought.

I grew up with Grange Hill (Tucker) rentaghost,(still remember the music) Record breakers, and Sunday teatime dramas like The Secret Garden. i didn't like Tom and Jerry but loved Pixie and Dixie (The cat called them 'them 2 Meeces'-not mice-)never seen that since 70's,don't think its ever been on cable-anyone else remember it? I watched Chorlton and the wheelies on a video I bought my son-he loved it-and jamie and the magic Torch, but he also loved my favourite-the ORIGINAL Bill and Ben

Apart from the usual suspects one programme that sticks in my mind was a serial that involved an amphibious car. I have a feeling it was a French production. I have looked on internet but cannot find anything. Suggestions?

Factor, thanks for that theme. There's a noise near the beginning that sounds like a splodge. I think it was one of them stepping in a cowpat. Pardon My Genie - was that the one with Roy Barraclough?
Bib, The Singing Ringing Tree was trippy and scary. Sorry, I too don't remember the Tinderbox :(
Scotty, was it Supercar? Cupid mentions that.
Cris, yes Playaway. Brian Cant was perfect for kids' telly.
