Channel 5's 50 Greatest Kids' Shows

Casey Jones was another great program. The Adventure Game and Crystal Maze were never to be missed. Tiswas really changed Saturday mornings along with the adult version OTT.

The shop window used in Bagpuss is one of the rear windows in Postgates house.

I always found this man a bit strange.

Post to your heart's content! I remember all those that you and TheCatWoman have posted.

I love the White Horses theme. I have it on a Cult Fiction CD. 

Double Deckers starred Peter Firth who went on to be a famous actor. I don't think that the rest of them were as successful.

EDIT: added:

Children of the Stones freaked me out. I don't think I watched a full episode.

Banana Splits - loved!

Whirlybirds was another Australian kids tv program, Steve Wright often played the theme tune for White Horses, I’ve added a link. Grange Hill definitely deserves a mention along with Magpie.

Daktari, Flipper and even Skippy the Bush Kangaroo! Champion the Wonder Horse and that French one White Horses, I don't remember Whirlybirds.

I was going to mention The Banana Splits and The Monkees, The Arabian Knights was brilliant. I don’t know why I mentioned Pete Postgate, he’s Oliver’s son. Do you remember Daktari, Flipper and The Whirlybirds?

I liked the Double Deckers too, what about Banana Splits, anyone remember them?

I remember Children of the Stones too, a brilliant creepy drama for children.

There seemed to be lots of weird programes for children in the 1970's, all about aliens, people with psychic abilities etc, anyne remember Tarot? And the one with people being able to teleport and being part of an intergalactic groups?

I loved Dangermouse, The Clangers and most stuff by Oliver Postgate and of course Dr Who. I think my geration were blessed with the telly we got, I don't think a lot of it would ever be made now, to anthropomorphic like Tales From the River Bank, and Johnny Morris,  or too weird like Children of the Stones.

I like Stingray as well as Thunderbirds.

I didn’t go out in school holidays, TV was my constant companion, I watched all of these programs, many of them before Channel Five existed.  My earliest fav programs were The Double Deckers, Pipkins, Mr, Ben and Why don’t you? 
Im trying to resist posting more as this area is a definite special interest. The creations of Oliver Postgate are an interest just on their own.

Interesting fact for New Order/ Joy Division fans... Bernard Sumner worked for Cosgrove Hall once! They did Danger Mouse and others.

I love that original simple animation style of Roobarb and Custard. And the tune

Most of these I don't know, I love Horrible Histories though, and am pretty sure Vicious Vikings (book) helped me pass an exam at Uni

I actually wasn't that into tv as a kid, I liked Come Outside, about a lady with a dog who went on adventures in a plane? (I think!) and Arthur, who was a cartoon animal -a mouse? - and his friends. 

I discovered Roobarb when it was rebooted, and loved it! I've seen the original 1970s episodes too. 

I'm old enough to remember most of them. Playschool is the oldest that I can still remember watching. Liked 'How' and Think of a Number because they taught me things. I sent off for the Hexaflexagon info from Think of a Number. Liked too many of the others to list them all.
