    Branded, gunsmoke and the Virginian were all good cowboy series. Cannon and the peter falk detectives were great USA imports. Rumple of the bailey. Black beauty. What about John pertwee as a talking scarecrow? Stig of the dump the caveboy.

    I must have watched quite a few westerns..... The Lone Ranger, Wagon Train & The High Chaparral. I also had a Man from U.N.C.L.E. revolver, which impressed my school friends...I was quite a tomboy, but really liked David McCallum as Illya Kuryakin; after Paul Newman he was my heartthrob! :)

    Woah @MobileGames What a list and walk down memory lane for me!

    I'm an 80's kid and have fond memories of watching Finger Mouse and Words and Pictures as a little one.  Can anyone else remember the magic pencil?  

    As I got a bit older I remember watching The Fun House (It's a whole lotta fun, prizes to be won!) and Mike and Angelo, until Byker Grove came along and I became a more mature, refined viewer  :D. They don't make them like they used to, do they?

    I'm not sure if Malcolm in the Middle counts as a kids programme but it's been re-run on Freeview 29 recently...I used to identify with Malcolm as a teenager...now I identify more with Hal!  :D

    Blimey, that one is a distant memory!  The teacher wheeling in the heavy old style TV on a rickety stand that looked like it would collapse at any moment...and then spending 20 minutes trying to work the VCR player!  :D

    Not TV related but that wheeled stand has just reminded me of something else that was a primary school regular...the over-head projector!  I'll bet there are plenty on here too young to have ever seen one!  :D

    There were still quite a few blackboards at my High School, alongside the whiteboards.  Even a couple of those 'rolling' blackboards in the oldest classrooms!

    Every classroom there got a Smart Board around 2007...they were generally just fitted over the top of whiteboards though and half the teachers stuck with the side of the whiteboards and conventional drywipe pens.   :D

    So many great TV shows and so many ones that I'm hearing for the first time and learning about :) 

    Anybody used to watch a show called Jungle Run that was on CITV? Just popped into my head now.
