Mr Ed the talking horse......

A mere precursor to Mr Dead on the Fast Show

[Jusme]

Can't believe no mention of 'popeye'? What about Champion the wonder horse, Torchy the battery boy, Pussycat Willem with Muriel Young, first time I saw Roger Moore playing Ivanhoe, The army game, Take your pick, where some winners sold their box key to Michael Miles for..........£5.

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!

Rawhide, The Man From Laramie, The Lone Ranger, William Tell and Robin Hood with Richard Green as Robin.

Oh yes Cleggy, Rawhide with the young Clint Eastwood!

I still think Richard Green is still the real Robin Hood

Don't forget William Tell though!

Why was it that so many shows were aimed at the boys?  There were great period drama's, but not many girlie shows.

One of my favourites Cleggy!

No one, including me, has named one of my favourite cartoon shows: Twizzle !!

Then there was Top Cat!

My goodness, with the help of all of us on this thread I now realise how much tv there was around (a LOT of American productions!!) in those days of "limited" schedules and channels.

[cleggy]

Bloody Hell Lizzie you've stired the grey matter now, never heard of Twizzle but remember these:-
Woody Woodpecker.
Tom and Jerry.
Tweety Pie.
Flintstones.
Sylvester.
Mighty Mouse.
Yogi Bear.

Michael Bentine's Potty Time... thats lizzies favourite 

[cnj]

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 !

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Does anyone remember 'The Jensen Code' from 1973/4?

Much better the the usual crap kids had to put up with way back then.
