I'm going back a long way
Does anyone remember Bill and Ben. The flower pot men.?
Alias Smith and Jones. I loved that ?0 -
@Dragonslayer I remember bill and Ben, as I say the earliest ones I remember are Noddy, Twizzle, Torchy the battery boy, Andy pandy and Lulu, and muffin the mule with Muriel young. I was about three and four years old.
much later I enjoyed Citizen Smith and the Lovers, and the likely lads, and Budgie with bIlly Fury.1 -
@leeCal I'm pleased to hear someone other than myself remembers Bill and Ben. We must be around the same age.
I also loved the other shows you mention as well.
Some other oldies I remember
Space 1999
Blakes Seven
Sapphire and Steel
Z Cars
The Professionals
The Sweeney

Hi @Ross_Scope,
This is a great thread, thanks for starting it
I remember the Teletubbies with the face in the sun and for some reason I loved the hover (The Noo Noo) but I don't know why and my love of hovers has definitely not carried on into adulthood I also remember the Tweenies fondly and favourite was Jake as well as the dogs Doddle and Izzles. As I got older I enjoyed Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Robot Wars. I also remember Art Attack. Thank you. 0 -
I think most 90's kids can probably still remember the song word for word!WestHam06 said:As I got older I enjoyed Fresh Prince of Bel Air
West Philadelphia born and raised...

the one with the witch who wriggled her nose!Bewitched ?1

I forgot Just William!! Pure classic gold!1
-
Oh wow! Bewitched! Yes of oourse! Thank you! Also, a lot of the ones others have mentioned here... brings back so many lovely childhood memories! Especially Fame, Mork and Mindy, I also loved George and Mildred, Terry and June, Duty Free, but my all time fave American one has to be Happy Days!!2

Anyone else watch Ground Force or Changing Rooms in the late 90s? Apparently they're not usual viewing for an under 10 year old!

Hi @OverlyAnxious,
Completely agree, most of me and my friends can remember the words to the song, one of my favourites I have to say I think I remember Ground Force, please may I ask, was that the one with Charlie and Tommy? Thank you. 0 -
Not to mention Alan titchmarsh and his herbacious borders. Or Larry Grayson ‘shut that door’.2
-
Yes, that's the one! It started with just Alan Titchmarsh but they quickly realised they needed more help in the timescle that they had. They just walked around locally looking for more people. Tommy was a builder and Charlie was a librarian nearby... They then became part of the show permanently!WestHam06 said:Hi @OverlyAnxious,

One show I haven't seen mentioned so far is You've Been Framed...I'm guessing a lot of you would have watched it?
I was subjected to it every weekend and absolutely hated it! Lots of people hurting themselves or others, plus children and animals leaking from every possible orifice. I never did see the funny side of it!!

@OverlyAnxious I’m old enough to remember the forerunner of you’ve been framed which was candid camera, later there was Beatles about with Jeremy Beadle , then you’ve been framed.
Esther Rantzen was in something too, was it that was the week that was? Nationwide was on every night as well, a news program.1 -
Noel Edmunds was in something every Saturday night. ‘Tis was. Pans people. Blankety blank. The generation game. What a lot of tv I watched.0
-
The Prsioner. The one with the 'bouncing' ball?
Did anyone really understand it?0 -
Takeshi’s Castle!1

Hi @OverlyAnxious,
Oh wow, I didn't know that about Charlie and Tommy so thank you for sharing that. I think Charlie now does a gardening programme with two brothers but I've no idea what it is called? I also have to agree with you about You've Been Framed, I never saw the funny side of it either though fortunately for me it was very rarely on our television. Thank you0 -
Yes, that'll be Garden Rescue on BBC1. Those two brothers have previously won Gold at Chelsea!WestHam06 said:Hi @OverlyAnxious,
