Here's one to test the ol' memory bank - especially if you were only 9 when the 70's ended like I was!!!

Just wondered who can remember what shows from the 70's. (I'm not necessarily saying they had to be invented in the 70's because I know some carried through from previous decades but I physically cannot go back any further!!).

Here's my selection:

Ivor the Engine
Mr. Benn
Teddy Edward
Ludwig (Wierd violin playing egg shapped thing!)
Pipkins
Magic Roundabout
The Wombles
Blue Peter
Grange Hill
Baba Papa
Mr. Men
Paddington
John Craven's Newsround (Yawn!)
Jackanory
The Herbs
Camberwick Green
Trumpton
Mary, Mungo & Midge
Barnaby Bear
Andy Pandy
Words & Pictures

Phew! Got a headache now! Your turn!!

"He Used To Give Me Roses, I Wish He Could Again, But That Was On The Outside & Things Were Different Then ..."

God thats brought back memories !!!! What about the clangers ? !!

Aww The Clangers, how could I have forgotten them?!!

Funny how seeing things in writing stirs the old memory bank. I've thought of a few more:

Rentaghost
Picture Bos
Fingermouse
Chigley
How!
Bagpuss
Rainbow
Bod
Captain Pugwash
Champion the Wonder Horse
Magpie
Tiswas
Swap Shop
Look & Read
Hectors House

C'mon somebody's got to have a memory better than mine!!

Apologies the second on the list should read:
Picture Box!

"He Used To Give Me Roses, I Wish He Could Again, But That Was On The Outside & Things Were Different Then ..."

I always though the man on Picture Box was really creepy.

It was a bit - but I thought Fingermouse was more creepy!

I like Bod and remember wasnt there a frog in it? Did they have to drink different flavour milkshakes somewhere in the show?

Dont forget Black beauty. it took up most of my sundays. And lassie took up most of the summer hols

I thought Fingermouse himself was lovely...though I thought the balding, bearded guy (was he called Yoffy?!?!) was well creepy.

Guessing the milkshake at the end was my weekly entertainment! Me and my brother would yell flavours at the tele.

Jackenory is back on the tv. I saw it in the tv guide the other day!!! I thought nope sorry wished we had seen the last of that

Who remembers 'Two Idle Hands', and 'Soldier and Me'?

I couldn't agree more! As a kid I couldn't bear Jackanory - except the closing credits. I used to feel like I was being preached too!!

Pogles Wood was my fave, but it was more mid to late 60's. Loved the Pogles, so much so I bought the videos to show my nieces but they weren't overly impressed.

Sorry Nellie - I don't remember that either. Never even heard of it in fact which is unusual for me, because even if I wasn't around at the time (and I wasn't in the 60s) I've normally heard of things through my Parents.
