Wow! I remember most of those Hannah! When we used to stay at my cousin's house, we each pretended to be a different character from Captain Planet.....

I'm probably going back further than most of you guys will remember, but I know there are a few other ppl about who are my age.

How about "Lets Pretend", "Fingermouse", "Bagpuss", and of course "Rainbow"... with its spin off "Rod, Jane and Freddy".

Remember all of those myself

I remember making my own fingermouse when I was very young.

On the rainbow theme, did you see one of the Nick. channels has picked up a lot of the rainbows. It'll be weird to watch them again!

Are you planning on watching them again?

Not likely...

Good.

I doubt it would be really interesting viewing for 20 something year olds.

No I doubt it too... But I have to admit the "joke" rainbow clip that is about is really quite funny.

"come on everybody, get your twangers out and give them a good pluck..." (Or something like that)
Very Funny

I remember Fingermouse (I sent away for the pack that told you how to make a fingermouse!), Bagpuss and Rainbow, but not Let's Pretend - what was that?

Basically they'd just make up new stories every episode, inspired by some prop or other... At least that's what I remember.

How about Rentaghost? I'm sure I saw that that was touring atm actually. It was soooo funny! Timothy Claypole, The Meakers next door. And it had Sue Nicholls who plays Audrey (I think) in Corrie. She used to disappear whenever she sneezed.

Press Gang was and is one of the best teen series on TV, even better than Biker Grove... which I did also love at one point. Press Gang starred Julia Sawalha and Dexter Fletcher. It was about a bunch of kids running a newspaper. I remember an episode where they got trapped in a building that collapsed... it was very dramatic.

I love Bagpuss! I used to watch it when it was on at like 6am or something....I have a bagpuss clock, slippers, t-shirt....yah, various other things...I'm a bit of a weirdo...

My goodness. I have so many favourite 90's programmes.

Cant remember the name but there was a programme and there was a lift and you went to differnt floors and there was one bit where there was a huge kitchen and you went into that huge bowl and you had to fish out letters. And there was also a dark room with squares and this guy in a really dark costume would try to catch up with you. Ok I could have explained that a bit better. Anyone remember?
Oh and there was also one with that blonde girl who drew all the time and wore french style clothes. Hmmmm. Its been so long

I remember that programme, but cannot for the life of me remember what it was called!!

Anyone remember 'Ghostwriter'?

I do... didn't see many though...

Anyone remember something that was on BBC1 Cbbc. It was about local ledgends/ghost stories... That sort of thing.
I really can't remember what it was called.

My school was one of the ones that made up a story for it... they filmed it on the grounds (Middle school)

somewhere in my mind I also remember a mini series about a boy who kept seeing ghosts of children and would do playing with them.
There was a giant Oak tree in it too, with a carving on it..., St Christopher I think.
And in the end bit I seem to remember it came to life to save the boy... But all I can remember is that it was bloody scary at the time.

Doubt that's enough to know what it was called... we'll see.

Anyone remember banana clips or Fergie bows? Well I really mean the girls...

Did anyone else collect Garbage Pail Kids cards? Those cards were traded waaaaay before pokemon!

Yeah, we used to watch that at primary school! We'd sit on the floor in the gym hall glued to it! I can't for the life of me think why we didn't watch it in the classroom, on chairs....but nevermind!

Don't recall ghostwriter...But I used to love Number 73, Metal mickey, Buck Rodgers and Manimal....Actually had a crush on manimal Urghhhhhh

Clare... did you actually see the Debbie and Damon spin off? That was soooo cool!

Anyone remember C&A. It was basically the H&M of its day. I got some really coooooool stuff from clockhouse when I was about 15.

Clockhouse rocked! There are still some C&As abroad, and I think one in London - an outlet or something?
