Children's Television Programmes That An Adult Might Watch.

[sandyRoe]

Blue Peter, Magpie, and The Magic Roundabout, are ones I'd sometimes watch.

Are there any others you liked ?

I loved Noggin The Nog.

Even now, the sound of Oliver Postgate's fabulous voice sends me straight back to being eight and watching on a winter's Sunday night (I think).

Now, I watch In The Night Garden with my youngest grandson.

I'm convinced those scenarios could have only been dreamed up by minds under the influence of industrial-strength hallucinogenics!!

The original Magic Roundabout in the late 60's was watched at 5 to 6 every night in my college refectory.  At 6 o'clock (time for the news ) all the students (approx 30 in number ) got up and left !!!! lol

The Clangers and many years later Postman Pat with my son

Any of the ' Looney Tunes' cartoons.

Didn't Dr Who start out as a children's programme?

Not that I ever did watch it.

When I was in digs with a family with two boys age 5 and 7, the latter was regularly reduced to tears by Lassie.

I like crosswords more than children's progz

Magic roundabout gained quite a cult following when it was on

I liked Ermintrude ( cow with flower in its mouth) - goodbye daaahling

[Peter Pedant]

Didn't Dr Who start out as a children's programme?

diddly bing diddly bong - woo-hoo dardly da-da-da-da...

yes - the words on the street is that episode one co incided with the shooting of the president - so it was repeated ( only time in Beeb history)

OR

everyone was talking about it in the schoolyard Monday and so it was repeated

Quiz: who on AB says "  exterminate! exterminate!" - the mimsy-at-all-times rule prevents me from answering

[Peter Pedant]

Why was the first episode of Dr Who repeated?

 

The show's launch was overshadowed by the assassination of American President John F. Kennedy the previous day, resulting in a repeat of the first episode the following week.

[10ClarionSt]

Definitely Loony Tunes. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn, I say Foghorn Leghorn. Tom and Jerry for sure.

I guess most of us on here were the first generation to grow up with TV from (early) childhood - we got our first telly when I was ten.

Has it been beneficial or were we better off without?
