Hi.

I'm probably showing my age here but thought I'd start this thread and ask what TV progs and Movies
you remember when you were just a child...... I was recently surfing thru youtube and saw a cartoon
which really took me back....

    It's a Knockout was hilarious as a kid.

    The Man from Atlantis (with Dynasty's Patrick Duffy) immediately sprung to mind when I read this thread. Would be utter cheese now, probably was then, but to a six year old, a man from a lost world with webbed hands and feet, ability to breath under water and with super human strength was pretty cool. Can't remember it lasting long though.

    In the grand scheme of things, TA, it was Fireball XL5, then Stingray, then Thunderbirds, then Captain Scarlet.

    I was a bit young to remember first time around, but wasn't The Saint great?! Shot on a shoestring and almost entirely in a studio, yet with stock footage they made out he travelled the world.

    No idea what it was but I'm sure I remember some programme with Bob Hoskins in it. Was a kind of adult education show I think!?

    Yes - I was out of work for a while and it coincided with ITV4 showing an episode of The Saint daily - I guess it's always on somewhere.

    Not sure what that one was? Phaps someone else will know........??

    Whenever I hear the name 'Bob Hoskins' The Long Good Friday' comes to mind......

    Thunderbirds & UFO were my favourites. Just finished catching up with all of them on DVD.

    The Banana Bunch was another

    Luckily I was just about the right age to appreciate Pan's People on Top of the Pops, but that's worth another thread on its own.....

    First films I remember was being taken by my mum to
    Reach For the Sky - at the Gaumont in Bromley - it was just up from Bromley South Station on the other side of the road
    High Society - at the Pullman in Lee Green which was just passed the traffic lights in the left on the road to Lewisham, think it has been a garage for many a long year.
