gwendes Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Fran: Do you know nothing about modern culture, Bernard? Beckham, Posh, Pokemon... Bernard: Pacman. It's pronounced Pacman. LOL! - Love Black Books
CheeseDog Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Simon Parkin, was he ever a regular or did he just cover for Schofield and Crane? Anyone remember Crane defecting and presenting Bad Influence on ITV with Violet Berlin who featured in one of the Micro Machines games? Don't get me started on Knightmare, ohhh Naarsty!
Jake Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 LOL! - Love Black Books Got to agree with you here, I love black boots too, any boots actually come to think of it

maniac Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Bit of both. Two of my best rememberd programmes thou are; Mysterious cities of gold, which is still one of the best cartoon series ever made IMO. I have every episode on my PC which took me ages to track down! Knightmare I used to love because it was way ahead of your time, yet the techniques used to create the 'virtual world' were surprisingly simple. It's being shown very early mornings on challenge TV at the moment, probably for the very last time because the rights to show it are about to expire. Remember loads of others that have already been mentioned, but those two always stand out above the rest. Mike.
joolsyjoolsy Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Talking of brilliant old programs..can anyone remember the name of a really bizarre show....it was like the predecessor of the crystal maze...where celebrities had to go round this weird alien base with a talking plant and solve puzzles to collect tokens which were shaped like triangles and squares etc, and at the end they had to face off one against one on a virtual grid against the Vortex What the devil was that called? that was awesome The Adventure Game!! they remade it but the first series was the best
russdev Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Yes both channels here... Yes Knightmare and thundercats All together now Thunder, thunder, thundercats, Ho! Thundercats are on the move, Thundercats are loose, Feel the magic, hear the Roar, Thundercats are loose, ..... Russ
steve Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Which one was the one with the green alien guy with all the snot...god he was funny as hell Get Fresh with Gilbert the Alien Jamie and the magic torch was my fave. Alf - Transformers - Chorlton and the wheelies - Ivor the engine - captin caveman - count duckula - mr benn - bod - pob - hong kong phooey - the moomins - noddy - ludwig - chocky's children, loved em all Camberwick Green and bagpuss deserve a special mention :-) Then - Trumpton - Pugh! Pugh! Barney McGrew! Cuthbert! Dibble! Grubb! Loads of memories here Always liked the factual stuff with jonny ball Remember this?: http://tv.cream.org/images2/schprg1.gif Watching programs like Maths-In-A-Box at school?
CyberNerd Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 "programmes for schools and colleges" Now anticompetitive under EC legislation, for the BBC to make educational resources...
steve Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 They were a monopoly when i grew up with only BBC1, BB2 and ITV available.
linuxgirlie Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 ohhh, broomcupboard!! though I had to explain to my partner the other day who Andi Peters was after hearing him on Radio One with Chris Moyles!!!
Norphy Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Remember this?: http://tv.cream.org/images2/schprg1.gif You sod! I'm now going to be humming the music that went with that clock all night. It's in my head! It hurts! I was always a CBBC man myself. I vaguely remember Philip Schofield presenting but Andy Crane and Andi Peters are the two I remember the most. CITV had the occasional thing worth watching (How 2 was a favourite) but for the most part it seemed like rubbish compared to what was on CBBC No-one has mentioned the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles yet either. Or Ulysses 31 although I was probably a bit young to understand that at the time.
john Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Crystal Maze, Knightmare, Citys of Gold, Teenage Mutatnt Hero Tutles, Bertha, Charlie Chalk, Penny Crayon, the list gones on...
Zoom7000 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Retro Junk - For all your nostalgia needs! lol @ Teenage Mutatnt Hero Turtles - Because the BBFC or whoever thought Ninja was too violent for us little angels!
MK-2 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 just to be extremely pedantic the phone number in the OP should be 0181 811 81 81 If I remember that was for things like Going Live and other BBC saturday morning progs. How sad is it I can remember a phone number from about 20 odd years ago, one that I never called. All thanks to my impressionable mind and RainMan like abilities to remember numbers
Ryan Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Can i point you all in the direction of 80scartoons.co.uk for all your nostalgia needs

Cities Gold, Geordie Racer, Racoons, Gummibears, trapdoor (neighbour was a ITV child so watched it at hers) Toby Anstis? - Andy Peters - Gordon the gopher - Ed the duck 0 1 811 81 81 The really wild show - Chris Packam (he never looks any older) - Makayla Strachen (mmmmm) C H I P M U N K - we're the chipmunks, guaranteed to brighten your day! I could go on for hours reliving my youth! BTW the numebrs 0181 811 81 81 I was a BBC and ITV kiddy with a dash of Ch4 as well, cannot beat some Reckles Ricky
ConTheITGuy Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I've been on the Krypton Factor course! Krypton Factor Assault Course - Derelict Places That is very cool - are you in danger of being shot if you go there? And where is it?! Andy

I could go on for hours reliving my youth! itv had the better quality programmes imo....DM, trapdoor and funhouse beat the pants off anything the bbc had from what i remember. itv also had starfleet and thundercats on a weekend, not to mention highway to heaven and bullseye on a sunday for slightly more grown-up viewing. having said that bbc had probably the best kid's drama ever..... archer's goon. And ofcourse they had the broom cupboard. someone else mentioned crystal maze....i watched an episode from the orginial series a few weeks ago on bravo (or was it gold ?) and the aztec zone i found incredibly boring....ofcourse it was exciting when we first sat down to watch it all those years ago, but wasn't enthralled by revisting it. i think the show picks up when they get into the industrial and futuristic zones.
Polski Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 "How", "Crackerjack", "Vision On", "Blue Peter" with Valerie Singleton, Peter Pervis, John Noakes and "Shep" Mind you the first TV had a switch on the side for 625 lines or 425 lines! Does the latter count as HD?? Sky? Have a heart, it was BBC, ITV or read your Beano annual!
e_g_r Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Flashing Blade, Robinson Crusoe, Belle & Sebastian, Banana Bunch. I'll get my Zimmer Frame
conehead Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Possibly! I didn't make my presence known! It's between Ramsbottom and Bolton: Flash Earth ...satellite and aerial imagery of the Earth in Flash Very interesting, I moved down from that location to where the old BWFC stadium used be be at Burnden Park, there's a big time difference between the Google Maps image and Microsoft VE. Microsoft shows it as a demolition site with just the remains of the old Normid superstore which was built at on end of the pitch (complete madness at the time) Google is more up to date with showing the big Asda that has been built there, but the almost as large JJB put up since is still not shown at the side.
Zoom7000 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Imagine the same number now... 0181 811 8181 would now be... 020 8811 8181 Just doesn't have the same ring to it!
