We’ve forgotten
The Lone Ranger !
William Tell
Richard the Lionheart
Memories coming flooding back!
Robin Hood…with Richard Greene
Followed on Saturday afternoons by Wrestling hosted by Kent Walton.
At the time my children thought its music was almost hypnotically beautiful, but much too chopped up by the action!
So youngest daughter recorded lots of it on a cassette, and then made a loop of that tape spread around wooden chairs, cutting it down until she barely heard the joins, then recorded the result on a second cassette machine.
Some vastly superior U-tube compilations of music from the program
Eldest daughter liked the saccharine “White Horses” but now in her fifties is into K-Pop!
And we all liked Monkey!
Excellent! Not heard that for about fifty years
Space 1999
Minder.
Thanks for that!
I’d forgotten it until you reminded me ……can’t remember the series but the theme tune etched in my brain….I can sing the words without looking them up !
Not sure definition of ‘Youngsters’ original poster meant [e.g. Watch with Mother, Andy Pandy, Bill & Ben]
Or at what ‘age’ is the cut off…………teenagers/twenties etc [e.g. ‘Allo, Allo’, One Foot in the Grave, Waiting for God, The Brittas Empire]
But what this Thread has reminded me of is
How many excellent TV shows we enjoyed WAY BEFORE we went Digital
And I’ve spent way too much time watching TV
Lost in Space.
Timeslip.
Felt adolescent guilt about fancying the girl until I later learnt she was an 18-y-o actress.
Programmes I still watch? The weather forecast.
The High Chaparral, Big John Cannon
I watched that too, although maybe not so much for the plot as the main character, Julia, who had a strange effect on the young teenage lad that I was.
Mr Ben (loved the music) and Bagpuss. Absolute favourites had a huge soft spot for Professor Yaffle. Forgot about Jamie and his magic torch and The Wheelies.

Released as a tribute to Ray Brooks the other day.
How about the 6 o’clock spot?
Hector’s House
And Crystal Tips and Alastair.
It was the first colour TV program my girls saw on the set I’d made (it cost less than a tenth the price of buying one) thanks to Manor Supplies, an Aladdin’s cave of spares and scrap electronic parts…
Thank you so much for sending that link. Am now looking forward to rewatching all of those episodes.
