    Goober and the Ghost Chasers.

    I don’t know if anyone remembers Hickory House which had a cushion in it that ate bananas?

    @RAwarrior thanks.
    i don’t remember Goober and the ghost chasers.

    im surprised no one remembers Twizzle circa 1958, the books are worth a lot now.

    sooty and sweep were quite good too.

    Hi @leeCal

    You’re welcome?

    I don’t know Twizzle.

    Do you remember Hickory House?
    I don’t know anyone who remembers it.

    Goober and the Ghost Chasers was very similar to Scooby Doo.

    @RAwarrior no I don’t remember hickory house. Sometimes the regional itv stations had different programs on depending on which region you were in. That may explain it.

    Hi @leeCal

    There are some clips of Hickory House on YouTube. I remember the banana eating cushion very well ?

    There are lots of tv programmes from the 1970s and 1980s on Youtube.

    Adam adamant was weird but good, a bit like Sherlock Holmes.

    (what’s afoot Watson? About twelve inches Holmes.)

    I remember Bananas in Pyjamas @OverlyAnxious! It was an odd show.  :D

    I don't know what you mean @Chloe_Scope? Two anthropomorphic beach patrol bananas who wear pyjamas and live with three bears and a rat. Perfectly normal.

    Bananas, in pyjamas, they're coming down the stairs

    What a song!

    Did anyone use to watch Art Attack?

    Yep!  I never could understand how he made the big art attacks that were only fully visible from a distance!

    It was a fantastic show indeed @leeCalI used to enjoy the "and here's one I prepared earlier" moments. I have no idea why but I did. It was like a game of waiting for something you were expecting to happen, then being satisfied when it does.

    @OverlyAnxious, maybe he was magic?

    Art Attack was amazing @Ross_Scope! Did anyone ever make anything that they saw on the show?

    I don't think I ever attempted to @Chloe_Scope :D 

    There was a rumour recently that the Art Attack guy is Banksy, which he has denied ?

    I probably tried and failed @Chloe_Scope :D
