the best children’s television programme ever?
This is what Saturday mornings were all about. I was, thankfully, of the Zoë Ball and Jamie Theakston era, although I think I might remember Emma Forbes presenting it too. However, Saturday morning started to go down hill when these guys left and made way for the likes of Katy Hill, Trey someone-or-other (who is now married to Katy Hill) and a whole bunch of other people I can’t remember
How wonderful! What fabulous and evocative memories there are to be had whilst reminiscing about ones childhood favourite TV shows
Truth is, I can’t pinpoint what my favourite kids’ show was when I was a child, as memory and nostalgia play strange tricks on adults.
My first TV heroes were the Lone Ranger and Tonto.
Does anyone remember Supercar, Fireball XL5 and Thunderbirds ,muppet show,Postman Pat,Top Cat , 
.Does anyone remember an animated 5 minute short of "The Banana Boat Song"
The children’s programmes that spring to mind as favourites the moment I think of the first TV we ever owned are David Attenborough’s "Zoo Quest for the Paradise Bird"
I have lovely memories of Worzel Gummidge.Thomas the Tank Engine had that dreary Ringo voice and the Mussolini Fat Controller;
Surely the greatest kids tv show ever was He!He!He! You tell me
Well that’s the end of my crazy ramble about kids TV programmes, no doubt there are many more programmes I watched over the years and simply can’t remember, but this will do for now.
Have a nice weekend
Hah..Im so old we didnt even have a tv when I was a child!
