More recent, but possibly more obscure - Kids In The Hall.
Mid 90s Canadian humour.

Skippy.

Kangaroos cannot communicate complex rescue messages to humans, ok.

How did he manage to get changed without showing his underpants ?

Before anyone says it, Capt Pugwash wasn't full of innuendo

There was no roger the cabin boy or seaman stains. Unfortunately

No but there was a Master Mate, which when said by Captain Pugwash sounded like ....... you can guesss.

The Clangers... with the soup dragon. They had their own language and I understand every word, just like I did Bill and Ben the flowerpot men!

One of my child hood favourites Monkey, Pigsy, Tripitaka and the other one. That programme helped me hone my Kung-Fu.

There was a kids TV programme in the 70s called "The Changes" - no idea what it was about despite watching all the episodes - some kind of post apocalyptic world where nothing was how it used to be, very strange and unnerving. It was on just after Blue Peter, usually.

"The Flashing Blade" was another classic - again, not sure about the plot but lots of people on horses running at 100mph everywhere.......err, that seemed to be about it - great theme though.

Bought the littl'uns a Bagpuss DVD a while back. The stories are still good, but I'd clearly 'enhanced' the animation in my head - it is about as basic as it could be.

Also: Ivor the Engine.

"Not so very long ago, in the top left hand corner of Wales..."

In a slightly more grown up vein, I can remember The Tripods scaring the wits out of me.

I think a lot of people who work in finance watched the chocolate biscuit factory episode of Bagpuss.

"Noah and Nelly"
Flew around in a hot air balloon, got into various scrapes, Nelly knitted stuff to get them out of their predicament.

This is now the "Peter Kay source material" thread.

Uncle Aspidistra, eh?

The tyrant king... some stoopid kids nonsense about a tyrannosaurus rex if i recall correctly. Had some really cool music from the first pink floyd album the piper at the gates of dawn. Which turned me on to that band for life...

Really old stuff....

When I was a nipper, we used to get these weird (east?) European things, I think they might have been folktales that had been made into TV. The one I recall was the "Singing Ringing Tree", which was parodied by The Fast Show (or similar) many years later.

It might be that I saw the same one quite a few times, or could there have been more of them?

Well, the script was written out in full, in English. Then the actors 'said' the script through swannee whistles. However, the script still had to be passed by the BBC censors, who put a blue line through the line "Oh sod it, the bloody door's stuck again!". So when the BBC licensed a Clangers toy, the line they used for the pull-the-string voice was that one.
