Being born in the fifties, and having my formative years in the sixties and seventies, I believe some of the best television programmes were those made for children. I am a great fan of programmes made for children, and even now think there is some quality work there.But some of the programmes of rhe past excelled in real quality.
For starting this thread I will include one or two of my favourites from the sixties to the eighties.
I will come back to this later with others, I think my avatar would indicate one of my favourites so that goes without saying, for the moment.
The Owl service, a programme made in the late sixties, a mystery about a tea service and the remote.locarion it was set in.
Follyfoot, with its theme tune about a farm for retired horses, the characer of Dora every lad in my year fell in love with
Children of the Stones, a very creepy tale set in Avebury, with similarities to the Wicker Man
The Witches and the Grinnygog, a tale of a gargoyle with a seemingly strange power.
Worzel Gummidge, with Jon Pertwee and Una Stubbs at their best.
Others to come, but opening up to reminiscences from other people.
Am I the baby on this forum? Most programmes mentioned are well before my time.
...Greetings, anyone, I did not look at these other replies when I posted during the day, here, yet I mentioned this. I was wondering if it was alright to mention programmes made after the 1980's or to start a separate Thread about them? My own current favourites would be Pokemon, Power Rangers, and "Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and CatNoir". However - Transformers, My Little Pony, and Alvin And The Chipmunks date across the Eighties and so sort of count here but not count...?
Nothing wrong with that - what were your favourites? I'm a huge The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy fan - especially the episodes with Fred Fredburger - I can spell my name real good too.
