"Thundercats. Ghostbusters. Fireman Sam. Thomas the tank engine, Postman Pat! The Teenage Mutant Hero (not ninja) Turtles..."

Oh yeah...Postman pat...I still have a letter and staionary set he sent me. I thought it'd be a laugh to write to him after I got a job as a postman. Never expected a reply

I forgot about The Clangers, Ivor The Engine, Bagpuss...classics, every one

in the night garden

Nothing from the past surpasses 'In the Night Garden' It's sympathetic approach to mental illness and overt sexuality is refreshing for a children's program.

But if I had to pick some from the past:

Danger Mouse

Hong Kong Phooey

Clangers

Jamie and his magic torch

Bagpuss

and of course

RHUBARB AND CUSTARD!!!

It is a sweet you are correct AND an animated classic voiced over by the god that is Richard Briers
