Programmes you loved as a kid!

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Robinson Crusoe, Captain Scarlet, The Flashing Blade.

Was there a programme called something like Marine Boy and he used to chew aquagum to breathe under water or maybe that was just a figment of an old gits imagination.

Catweazle

The White Horses (great theme tune).

Magpie, especially the episode where Jenny Hanley made and wore a bikini made from newspaper (or did I just dream that?).

i loved Survivors which was on when i was about 14, i was fascinated by the whole end of civilisation thing and still am,i must mave bought about 50 books as a result of watching that programme. imagine a world without football :shock: although they managed to sneek in sheffield united and west ham references into the series......written by the great Terry Nation who also gave us the daleks.... also remember captain pugwash which was supposed to be full of smutty double entendres which would have been way over my head at the time

My god..... That's just about my list as well. Scary.

Don't remember The Kids from 47a and never that keen on Tiswas. Apart from that though........

Used to have a soft spot for Jenny Hanley on Magpie. Always preferred it to Blue Peter!
