I couldnt really say there was anything i didnt like. I detested metal mickey , so unfunny.And that ruddy robot popped up on everything going. Pauline Quirk had a kids show called ( originaly ) Paulines quirks.
Shang a lang.. christ that was irratating. Oh... run a round. Even then i had a loathing of Mike Rieds act. top of the form, boring. superstars, ditto.

remember i said there wasnt anything i didnt like... forget it. there was tons of crud i avoided.

Rainbow? dont get me started on that poo. Anything that can oust pipkins, was doomed from the start.

Speaking of Shang-a-lang, remember "Get It Together"? Bad times.

Thankfully no, but whilst goggling for it i was reminded of something else i wasn’t a fan of. Clive Dunn in Grandad. If my old grandad was like this, wed of put him in a home. I know Charlie Quick, his character, was an attempt to rekindle corporal Jones , but it was just awful. No wonder Clive retired when it was axed.

and the theme tune...

WHO'S THAT WALKING DOWN THE STREET?
BANDY LEGS,EDUCATED FEET,
SUNNY SMILE,MOW AIN'T THAT SWEET?
IT'S GRANDAD! CHARLIE QUICK!

IF YOU'VE GOT A SONG,HE'LL CONDUCT THE SING ALONG,
PLAYS THE PIANNA IN THE STRANGEST MANNER
THE WORD'S ARE RIGHT BUT THE TUNES ALL WROOOOOONG!!!
WHO GOES QUICK WHEN THE BAND GOES SLOW?
WHO'S A REAL ROMEO?
RIDES A HORSE IN A RODEO...
IT'S GRANDAD! CHARLIE QUICK!!!!

One thin i did find out, was that Maurice thoroughgood, the landlord of the show, was somebody i got to see in panto. One of the great daemon kings he was

I can't really remember any thing that I really didn't like. Although I do remember Watership Down giving me horrible nightmares. I used to love the film, probabaly because of the bunnies, but could never watch the first 15 minutes and had to go out of the room for a few other bits.

What abot the Krypton Factor?

I used to love the assault corse!

Anyone remember the Five O’clock Club with Muriel Young and two puppets as co-stars, Ollie Beak and Fred Barker? The puppeteer used the same Fred Barker voice and mannerisms in a more famous later incarnation, Basil Brush - boom, boom !

Ah, Basil Brush.. the tweed clad, childrens entertainer...

It's Friday, it's quarter to five, it's Crackerjack!

Oh and Michael Bentine's Potty Time. Loved that!

And have we not mentioned Hong Kong Phoey? Number One Super Guy!

And the original Scooby Doo that was actually quite spooky (or was that just me?).

Remember "The Box of Delights"? Bought it on dvd last year and it's still great... only to be watched at xmas though...

Just for the wand!

Yeah I remember batfink. Danger Mouse is cult classic though. I only learned recently that David Jason did so many of the voices for it.

Darkwing duck?
He'd go along with Duck Tales and the like, I think. Rescue Rangers...
