Top Cat on BBC2

[lindapinda]

Has anyone seen that BBC2 are showing Top Cat at lunchtime at  the moment? Not as funny as I remember,but still lovely to see the opening and closing titles again! I always loved him going to bed in his wee dustbin with the tv aerial! It's worth taping for that alone! Happy memories!

I used to enjoy watching Top Cat too. But he had a different name at one point, something to do with the BBC not advertising cat food (I think there was a cat food called Top Cat).

Yeh brugel,think he was called boss cat too.Didn't know it was anything to do with cat food though,there you are,learn something new every day!

Linda as we both thought about Anthony Hopkins here's a little something for you!!!!!!
 


Top Cat
The most effec-tu-al Top Cat
Who's intellectual close friends get to call him T. C.
Providing it's with dignity
Top Cat
The indisputable leader of the gang
He's the boss
He's the VIP
He's a championship
He's the most tip top -  Top Cat

Yes he's the chief
He's the king, but above everything
He's the most tip top - Top Cat! 

 

Am I sad????????????????????????

I loved that show, Officer Dibble was my favourite character.  I can remember Benny and Toots or was it Chooch? (Or something like that).  What were the names of the other characters, and can anyone remember the name of the famous violinist who appeared in one episode (without cheating?)

Ward-minter,I bow to your superior knowledge! Thank you! Have never quite picked up all the words to that wee tune! I will listen tomorrow with new realiazation!!Gazzawazza,it was chooch! There was also fancy,spook and the sad wee one,that even though i saw today,i can't remember his name!

Do you mean Benny or Brain? Top Cat is bostin'! My 13 year old daughter loves watching it. Good cartoons will always be loved through the ages. I could never make out what the heck they were singing with that 'provided it's with dignity' line. Thank the lord for teletext.
