Balls, showing my age now.
I used to listen to 'Listen with Mother' before tellies existed.

 

[dagrat]

Don't forget Noggin and nogbad the nog, and one of my earliest memories was Rag Tag and Bobtail

 

[ipf]

Way past my time i think!! ..All we had was ''Andy Pandy'', ''Bill & Ben'' the flower pot men, ''Wooden Top's'', ''Noddy'' and ''Watch with Mother''!!! Oh and ''Crackerjack'' for the slightly older kids, maybe Blue Peter too, not sure if that was of the same era as Crackerjack or not!! Funny how you can remember the silly things of childhood, but not where you left the car keys last night!!! lol!!

'Picture Book' (Julie Driscoll) and 'Tales of the Riverbank' were part of 'Watch with Mother' along with your first three examples.
Then we get on to 'Supercar' with Mike Mercury and Professor Popkiss, if I remember correctly.

What are your nominations for the worst retro steps that have been made by our industry? my nominations are:

1. scrapping of stranded T/E cable in favour of the solid rubbish we're stuck with today.
2. the stupid new cable colours.

let's have other nominations. the best will receive a "thanks" and a "like" ( sorry geordie, no broon in the prize list.)

knocking part c on the head. from what i've heard, this was a qualification that separated the men from the boys.

 

[shagbite]

playschool. if it was being broadcast today, it'd probably be called playzkool

[shagbite]

fraggle rock was a jim henson creation, with muppet like characters.

 

[shagbite]

Why is everything getting smaller?

 

[shagbite]

wow, this is a brilliant example of a thread going way off topic. sorry telectrix!

 

[trev]

What is this Fraggle Rock you strange Northern people speak of?

It was made by the same people behind the muppet show and was set on an island off Scotland )I think) One set of guys were always trying to build things but the other set, the Doozers were always eating what they built. Twas a great show and as said above featured Fulton Mackay as the lighthouse keeper
