Mr Mosquito Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Robinson Crusoe, what was your fav programme and the memories you hold ??I believe that version of Robinson Crusoe was made in French dubbed to English. The last episode actually depicts Bristolian pirate sailors rescuing the real life Robinson Crusoe - Alexander Selkirk. Woodes Rogers was the Captain and William Dampier was the pilot of the rescuing ship 'The Duke'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 FingerbobsPogalswoodScreen TestVision OnTake HartStig of the DumpThink one of the presenters in HOW was Fred Dinage Anyone remember the names of his fellow presenters? I can picture a chubby woman with a posh first name and an older bloke with white hair and glasses, possibly a beard. No looking it up, mind. Tony Hart continued presenting Vision On ( remember The Gallery?) into the early nineties and my own children's early childhood, so I watched it all over again.

Well done dt, Jack Hargreaves it definitely was. I'd forgotten about the 4th one but can picture him now. Well groomed and you're right about his age, probably mid 40's. Pretty sure i'd never get his name though, maybe You tube is the answer. Anyone remember George of the Jungle? The Singing Ringing Tree? What about some of the 'grown ups' programmes of the time that we used to watch with our parents because there was nothing else to do. Remember The Brothers, Manhunt, Softly Softly, Doomwatch, The Pallisers, Poldark? One i particularly remember, because it was a bit 'naughty' so a must for a young teenager was Bouquet of Barbed Wire with Frank Finlay and Susan Penhaligon. What about Bewitched with (I think it was ) Elizabeth Montgomery and her twitchy nose? Rainbow was another one still on in the early '90's so watched it again with my children.

Tony Hart continued presenting Vision On ( remember The Gallery?) into the early nineties and my own children's early childhood, so I watched it all over again.Sure there was a female presenter of How called Bunty. Jack Hargreaves also did a Country File style programme, usually featuring shire horses. Didn't the other presenter usually focus on electrical experiments? Bagpuss was great - Professor Yaffel the carved woodpecker book end, Madelaine the rag doll, Gabriel the toad and the mice with their marvellous mechanical mouse organ. Crystal Tipps and Alistair - weird badly animated programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double-trouble Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Whats wrong with me , am I an old fuddy duddy suddenly .When I was a kid , the summer holidays were watching the Hair Bear Bunch , black and white Zorro , Robinson Crusoe , The Flashing Blade ( where lips made different movements to the words heard ) , Puff and Stuff and the Double Deckers . Evenings were Magpie and Tomorrows People .My personal fav and I don't mind admitting it to you cyberspace unknowns was Mr Benn .Out to work every day with his black suit and bowler hat . Off down Festive Road where the children were playing with plastic swords or a cutless under a skull and crossbones flag on mums washing line and the shopkeeper took him into the shop to try on a outfit . He would go into the changing room and suddenly he was sailing the seven seas as Black Beard .He would have these wonderful experiences and just as he was to find the treasure that bloody shopkeeper appeared , you know the one that looks like Reg Holdsworth .He would always leave the shop with a memento like a treasure map or something similar to remind him . His house must be like a tip with all that tat he collected . The kids would still be playing with their swords and shields as he walked back down Festive Road .Does anyone know why he put that suit on and if it was for work , why he did'nt get the sack for all those days off ??Anyway with the crap , crap and more crap kids watch today , what was your fav programme and the memories you hold ??What was the spin off from Kojak called . It was the one with Kevin Dobson his top detective Crocker .Me thinks this is possibly the name of the series CROCKER ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
