Nothing whatsoever to do with cycling, but good for a laugh I guess.

What was your favorate childhood TV shows? How far back can you remember?!

KK.

PS: Not a childhood memory or even close to one, but can you guess that I loved The Fast Show and Channel 9?

    +1 for Jamie And The Magic Torch!!!!!!!!!!

    Often the stories were pointless and vague, but what a fantastic intro, and what a great dog Wordsworth is with is Somerset accent! My parents became concerned when I constantly talked like that..!

    Also, The Clangers, The Littlest Hobo, Charlton & The Wheelies, Rainbow (don't laugh!), Cheggars Plays Pop, (the original) Swap Shop, Tiswas, Runaround, No 73, Pingu, Morph & Chas, Dangermouse, and so on, the list is endless!

    Button Moon, Inspector Gadget, He-Man, The Wacky Races, Roland Rat, Grange Hill (original), Different Strokes, Alias Smith And Jones, Not The Nine OClock News, Tom Baker as Doctor Who, Fraggle Rock, Treasure Hunt (Anneka Rice), Knightmare, Maid Marion, Metal Mickey, Adrian Mole, Rentaghost, The Wombles, The Moomins, Worzel Gummidge... have I missed any?!

    ss will agree
  • behind the trapped door :)

    ss will agree

    The Programme you are thinking of is "The Trap Door"

    Theme song:
    Don't you open that trapdoor, You're a fool if you dare... Stay away from that trapdoor, 'Cos there's something down there....

    Yes, The Crystal Maze was (and stil is!) a big favorate of mine too! A real quiz game involving both mind and body! Didn't they once have some kind of cycling game, maybe involving a dynamo?

    Which reminds me, wasn't there a classic episode of Pingu where he learns to ride a bike, but keeps crashing? Great facial expressions!
