I only saw the the last 11 weeks of the 70’s but I remember shows like Mr. Benn and Jamie and the magic torch. Guess the must have been re-runs

Yes indeed. Follyfoot is near Harrogate I believe, must Google that one.

Christian Rodka was my hero in that one, the female lead was always so tearful, and the male lead wasn't much better.

Don't forget The Double Decker's, Grasshopper Island - with its weird Hurdy Gurdy music - H R Puffenstuff and Woobinda.

Don't get me started in the 60's stuff!

The singing ringing tree,whoever commissioned that to be broadcast on UK television to kids must have been off their nut.One of the weirdest scariest programmes ever.

My earliest memory would be The magic roundabout.

Then eighties stuff like He-man, the new schmoo (almost no one remembers that one!), The storyteller, Dangermouse and Jonny Briggs
