Goodsoulette - i should have said Knightmare, it was ace! my father in law looks just like Treguard!
The Woofitts - thanks, Annabella, I was trying to think of that one. Yes, it was Parky. I think he actually wrote it.

Remember Whatamess, the one about the afghan hound puppy, told by Frank Muir?

I also remember 'Soldier and Me', a drama. Anyone remember it?
even though a lot of my faves are originally 60's programmes. they repeated them all through the 70's which is when I watched them.Not all cartoons, lots of puppets.

Banana Splits.
Thunderbirds
Hickory House (dusty mop was awesome)
Pipkins
Mr Ben
Catch the pidgeon
Scooby Do (still watch it with my kids)
Mungo, Mary, and Midge.
The Clangers.

I absolutely loathed Bagpuss though. Not sure why though.Also hated Fingerbob.
