downendcity Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Early Gerry Anderson. Pretty sure they would have originally been B&W but these clips have been colourised. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to drive my mum mad by turning her clylindrical wicker stools on their side and pretending to 'fly' them like the hover bikes from Fireball XL5, completely knackered them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Lots of my childhood distilled here. Many happy days recalled by these memories, seeing as they were shown especially in the summer when school was out. Good to see them in colour too.

Where did all that time go. My sister used to love this programme: I had absolutely no interest at all, but used to love the theme tune, and still do. I used to watch the opening sequence, solely because of the theme tune, and would then leave the room to do my homework or go out. Assuming we are all roughly the same age, you may remember another catchy little song, Rupert, about Rupert Bear. They were both sung by the Irish singer Jackie Lee, and used to be played regularly on Ed 'Stewpot's Junior Choice. After a very random search, I found this version shown on the Bob Monkhouse Show. I'm sure many of you think of Bob Monkhouse as a rather cheesy presenter, but I saw him live many years ago at The Hippodrome. He was hilarious and surprisingly bawdy, risqué and often extremely crude, bordering on vulgar. A wonderful night. He, of course, quipped during the show: 'When I was young and told people I wanted to be a comedian when I grow up, people used to laugh at me. They're not laughing at me now.' 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the same as me...never watched the programme, but loved the theme tune. I also remember the Rupert Bear theme tune. :laugh: When I think back to children's TV programmes, so many had catchy theme tunes that I can still remember. Great memories. Another that I used to watch in the 70s as a kid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too don't have any memory of the White Horses TV content, just the theme tune. It was just so carefree and innocent and totally beautiful to me for some reason. Yes I remember Rupert the Bear, but if we are talking about songs rather than TV then it was the Puff The Magic Dragon song that got to me, still makes me cry now ! I remember Bob Monkhouse, always thought he was a bit 'smarmy' so I find it amusing and somewhat reassuring he had another side to him, I think I would have liked to have seen him. The Banana Splits TV show was another one, I loved the bit in the show that had the Witchy-Poo character, Puffin stuff or something like that? I'm really stretching the memory banks now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 My mum said I used to insist on watching this and then hide behind the sofa, I guess we were all weird as kids. I don't know what it was for sure that I didn't want to see, but I have a phobia of dolls, particular their faces and these characters look quite doll like. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 I think this was shown every summer of my childhood I am pretty sure that Portishead sampled part of the theme music for Glory Box, it definitely has the same feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, that and Double Deckers and then an Elvis film.

Who recalls this then I know of them because my older cousins gave me some 1960s Blue Peter annuals when I was a kid, and they featured Bleep & Booster cartoon strips.
