Quoting IFEMaster (Reply 2): Jimbo & the Jet Set was one of my favourite cartoons.
Such a classic! I'm tempted to go raid the cupboards for old videos! Let me think... what else was there...?
Does anyone remember Pigeon Street? Bertha? Button Moon? Oh, and I just about caught the tail end of Rainbow.
Have you ever felt like you could float into the sky / like the laws of physics simply don't apply?

Quoting Jetjack74 (Reply 8): Yes. But what I want to know, did this girl ever beat the clown?
The funny thing about that test card. I worked in electrical retailling here in Oz in the '70s, the months before colour TV transmission started here (Mar 1 1975).
In those months leading up up to CTV transmissions the only things that could be colour cast were outside broadcast sports events and the colour test card early in the mornings. We had people lining up outside the store in the mornings to see that little girl and her clown, just to experience colour TV.
A funny thing was receiving complaints from customers viewing tennis on CTV for the first time... since they played at school in the 50's-60's the balls had changed from white to green/yellow.. everything else was fine but the balls were the wrong colour.
If your camera sends text messages, that could explain why your photos are rubbish!

OK, I know, I wasn't exactly born in the 80s and I don't recognise most of those but I did enjoy Metal Mickey (along with Metal Mickey himself, Irene Handl was a star ) and Terrahawks ("Always expect the unexpected"). Yes, they were "after my time", too, but I still enjoyed them.

Quoting Kieron747 (Reply 10): Didn't know you Scots had electricity in the 80's Graham, let alone telly! Ah well, one lives and learns...
Shame they didn't have any decent programs to watch though!
Here's a few programmes I remember from when I was a kid...
Rgds.
25 IH8BY: Can't be a UK edit surely; that's a little blatant in a children's programme!
26 Fbgdavidson: Here's a question for those of you Brits born in the 80s...how many of you when you were growing up would have died to go on the Krypton Factor, espec
27 Kieron747: Ahh Grange Hill! Used to scare the living $hit out of me when I was at Junior School. When I went to High School at the tender age of 11 I found out
28 Kieron747: As did this!... I thought, Damn, Thundercats! --> Ah too be young again! Anyone remember a show called 'Grandpa' on the BBC. I think it was the same
29 Kieron747: OK, then this one must take some of you back. I'll just say 'Pob'? Anyone remember 'Pob's programme? ' And I'll just say my favourite Dr Who incarnati
30 Kieron747: Michael Sheard was a fantastic British actor. Who can forget his role in 'Empire Strikes Back'? Also, little known amongst many people, he starred in
31 Kieron747: And there was Pob... http://www.classickidstv.co.uk/wiki/Pob's_Programme Sorry I can't find any video clips. Kieron I should also add Graham, thet
32 Jamie757: Couple of tales from 'The amazing adventures of Morph' featured on a couple of Tony Hart programs... The creators of Morph went on to form "Aardman An
33 Banco: It was called "Grandad" and starred Clive Dunn. This might impress you then - I used to be in the same pub quiz team as Admiral Piett.
34 Kieron747: Ah! How could I forget Morph! Thankyou for the clarification! Lucky bastard! He was great in a Inspector Morse episode apart from other things as
35 Gkirk: Get to your old folks home then you ! GKirk (1983 vintage)
36 OA260: Yes with Aunt Sally ....was cool. This was also a cool production. YOU CANT FORGET THIS :::::: I had the Castle and toys also and the He Man lunchbox
37 Trekster: Yea, stuff the running and jumping, I wanted the sim. Very annoying at the mo, cause where I am training I walk past the building with the BA sims in
38 IH8BY: Correct me if I'm wrong (and whoever corrects me will get ten lashes for being a geek) but I'm sure they used to show this in a slot on Saturday Morn
39 OA260: Heres a good website ::; http://www.tvradiobits.co.uk/eightieszone/eighties8.htm I forgot about ''Willo the Wisp'' and ''Why dont you'' !!!
40 Banco: Might have done, but that's not how it was originally broadcast. It was just part of kids telly at the end of the seventies and start of the eighties
41 Gkirk: The 1870s? You're from the same era as Skidmarks and JGPH1A, right?
42 Banco: I am comfortably younger than those two. Nice to see they let you out of the play-pen long enough to post, Kirkie.
43 Gkirk: Just keep telling yourself that Granted, you are comfortably thinner than both Skidmarks and JGPH1A, but agewise, I think not
44 Banco: I bloody am! Much to my horror, Cornish continually reminds me that I am one month older than him. I console myself with the thought that he appears
45 Gkirk: What a successful life Cornish has had then, over 60 years of being a ladytea boy
46 IH8BY: Oh, I'm sure of that, but despite the fact that "grown-ups" like you ( ), longing for the good old days of "tele-vision", go on about the glory days
