Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

It's been a bad week for Roobarb and Custard.

Bob Godfrey and Richard Briers going in the same week.

I think we should have a day of all the old cartoons on BBC1 to mark this event. Putting all of the cartoons on the kiddie channels is wrong.

I think they had a weekend of old cartoons a couple of weeks ago. To celebrate 30 years of CBBC or ITV kid's tv or something.

What do you mean you don't know it? Although I suppose in television terms 13 years is a big difference for children's programming.

The gentle and slightly mad humour of days gone by when the big storyline was that the windmill was stuck.

Poor Hamble, she looked like she had seen better days even in her heyday. I never trusted that Jemima.

There's someone I know who looks exactly like Brian from the Magic Roundabout. Surreal programming for children made by people on drugs. It was brilliant.

I had a massive sticker on my wall of Dougal. Looking back I think all the cartoon makers must have been on drugs.

The Clangers was ace.

Taken me 30 yrs to reach this ask, was Camberwick green along the road from Chigley? Farmer Bell with his truck and forklift takes some visual beating.

Hamble looked like a peasant woman and Jemima always looked rather smug.

Charlie's cat failed to inform me about anything because I would normally be behind the sofa where I also sought sanctuary from the Sea Devils on Doctor Who.

Hector's house had the pervy Kiki the frog who would get up on a tall ladder to see what Hector and Fifi were up to !.

Dont forget Humpty. Agree about Hamble though.

Reading this thread has been a good trip down memory lane.
