Really it belonged to the Highway Patrol - Whirly Birds - Dr.Kildare era, but I seem to remember it being shown on UK television in the late 1960's, early 1970's. ;)

Yes, so easy to forget all of those, but they were great as were so many more. Another one I loved, although really too adult for me to understand at the time (I was only three or four) , was The Scarlet Pimpernel ; "They seek him here, they seek in there, the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel"  I now know it was set three years into the French Revolution (during The Reign of Terror) and like The Tale of Two Cities and a great production of Mary Queen of Scots that was also shown on late 1950's television, they all made my interest in history awake.

Funny how life can be shaped by television and film! :y :y

Twizzle I watched in the late 1950's along with the Wooden Tops, Andy Pandy, and Bill & Ben, and they were the staple diet during Watch with Mother, on at 2pm if I remember correctly every week day.

Oh, and I must not forget The Secret Garden and Billy Bunter!! around 1960.

I remember well Workers Playtime, The Navy Lark and big bands, such as my favourite, Billy Cotton's Band Show played on the radio for the adults at that time c.1958 :y :y

Lizzie's, correct me if I'm wrong but we got a different puppet show every day for a week Andy Pandy, one day, Bill and Ben the next, Wooden Tops all on Watch with Mother.

Ah, you could be right there Cleggy!  In my mind they are all together, and indeed they came together in the child's mind of the time. But thinking about TV was so "short" for everyone in those days and an episode of say The Wooden Tops would have filled us children's allotted 'space' in the abbreviated schedules.  Not like it is for today's children eh, almost 24 hours of cartoons and all other kids shows such as Mister Maker and Justin's House!  Good luck to them as well 8) 8) 8) :D :D ;)

Yes, he was ex-RAF flying Dakota's. He starred in Whacko..........I just cannot at the moment recall his name, although he was always on telly during 1960s&70s. :y :y

It will come to me.......I thought he was very funny.......big booming military type voice, but not like Brain Blessed! ;D ;D

andy pandy and friends just before the tv went off for the afternoon. I doubt lizzie can go back quite that far, around 1960 I believe !

Twizzle I watched in the late 1950's along with the Wooden Tops, Andy Pandy, and Bill & Ben, and they were the staple diet during Watch with Mother, on at 2pm if I remember correctly every week day.

Oh, and I must not forget The Secret Garden and Billy Bunter!! around 1960.

I remember well Workers Playtime, The Navy Lark and big bands, such as my favourite, Billy Cotton's Band Show played on the radio for the adults at that time c.1958 :y :y

Ah! Billy Bunter, spiffing and brilliantly non PC :y
Now Lizzie, what was the names of the headmaster who was in a spin off show? Big Royal Air force style moustache, gown, mortar board and a cane, bombastic character  ;D

Yes, he was ex-RAF flying Dakota's. He starred in Whacko..........I just cannot at the moment recall his name, although he was always on telly during 1960s&70s. :y :y

It will come to me.......I thought he was very funny.......big booming military type voice, but not like Brain Blessed! ;D ;D

It has just come to me; Jimmy Edwards! :D :D :y

WELL DONE YOU. :y :y
Isn't it funny how the youngsters on here only remember things in colour. ;D ;D ;D

Yes indeed Cleggy, and I remember the 1950's and early 1960's in black & white, because everything was! That is how people saw life in black and white, right and wrong, correct or incorrect, and the radio and television was in black and white with not only the picture in the case of the TV, but with the productions on the radio.  The cars were mainly black or white, with other colours starting to make their way in due to the American influence, and that applied to the music. Big bands were still in demand, and who remembers them in colour? Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Matt Monroe, Frankie Vaughan, etc, etc, in the pre-Beatles era, were all black and white to us. Only at the cinema did we see wonderful colour, but still there were news reels in black & white along with many Dean & Pearl advertisement "presentations", as the American influence was still coming through! Even my mothers fashions, and my aweful school uniform, was maybe not strictly black & white, but a very drab grey; our shoes were certainly ALWAYS black!! :'( :'( :'( :'(

The first Beatles film, Hard Day's Night(1964) was in black and white, then BANG from 1965 there WAS colour everywhere! Psychedelic, Technicolor, all one colour (such as in the film I'm Curious; Yellow c.1969), and every shade of colour from Kings Road, Carnaby Street, all the way out to little villages across the country. Us teenagers suddenly could revel in colour big time, with our clothes, the music, films, the posters on the bedroom walls, and the whole house we lived in, with the family car outside a red, orange, yellow, blue, and maybe all the colours of the rainbow such as on John Lennon's Rolls Royce!

How times have changed, and thank God they did! 8) 8) 8) :y :y

You must have been a child bride then Lizzie ::) :-*
My eldest is 36 and the youngest 22, with a couple in between :y
So I've had my fill of kids TV, I guess the longest running must have been Biddy Baxter and sticky back plastic. We used washing up bottles as water pistols mine made space ships and all sorts things, the uses for metal coat hangers ;D Blue Peter has been there for generations. :y

Saturday mornings at the ABC Minors, three pence in the stalls a tanner for the balcony.

With my two local grandchildren, one being 4 in a few days time, I still get my fill of children's tv!  I have watched them all (I think) :o :o ;D ;D ;D :y

A actually quite like some of them as they are nowadays great for educating the young viewer, like Mister Maker and Justin's House /Mr. Tumble plus others :y :y :y :y

How kids tv has changed with soooooo many of their own channels :D :D :D :y :y
