Issinoho - a panda with magic number squares
Mr Trimble
Barnaby the Bear
Hickory House - different from Hector's
Ragtime - with Maggie Henderson and Fred Harris
The Herbs
Trumpton, Camberwick Green, and Chigley - which were originally aired as Music Box
Picture Box - with Alan somethingorother who also appeared in Crossroads.
Heggarty Haggerty
Rupert the Bear - the original strings and all version
Chorlton and the Wheelies
Fingerbobs - the original series with Yoffi (Rick Jones)

Ah the memories, I could go on and on and on and on....................................

That reminds me, how many ears does Davey Crockett have?

3 - his left ear, his right ear and his wild frontier

That joke's just as bad using star trek with Captain Kirk and the final frontier.

As for kiddies programmes, I've never grown up ......... I had to skip lectures at Uni to watch Danger Mouse and now as a 40 something I get my 10 year old son to record Shaun the Sheep for me

His catch phrase was "I'm expecting a postal order.....).
Bunter was played by Gerald Campion , which begs the question, why can I remember things from the dawn of time, yet can't remember what I did yesterday
