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.

A bit later on in years I used to watch the awful "three up two down" just to drool over Lysette Anthony.

It used to make me feel ill :x :x :x
Very strange show, odd little toby jugs around the studio. Used to change channels.

But I used to like Monkey, mainly for the title intro.

Flashing Blade was good too.

And I liked Blue Peter when they went on an adventure, but found the sticky backed plastic modelling dull.

Murphys Mob was good.
