There's a new kids programme out at the moment called Old Jack's Boat with Bernard Cribbins which reminds me of the style of programmes I used to watch. A bit like Jackanory but with a bit of acting leading up to and after it. My 4 year old loves it.
TV - Round the Twist, Grange Hill, Jossys Giants, The Emu/Grotbag Show Films that I watched over and over and knew every word - Stand By Me, Goonies, Return of the Jedi, Big, Time Bandits (tried endearing my kids to Time Bandits, lasted 25 minutes, load of old shite)
I used to religiously watch No.73 with Sandie Toksvig and Neil Buchannan but apart from the sandwich making quiz bit I can’t for the life of me remember what else was on it.

I hum this theme tune as well, mostly when driving along that little lane to dartford where, when I was a kid, there was a house on the right hand side where the owners had a bright red garage door with a full size yellow “70” painted on it. I used to think there was some connection, Toksvig has always looked like a Dartford girl to me... Anyway the new owners (or ones from 15-yrs ago) have gotten rid now, the swines. Hey you get ready, get on your feet, get into gear (*controversial), don’t act so sweet.....
Bill & Ben, Muffin the Mule, the Woodentops, Twizzle .. and later on William Tell, Ivanhoe and Robin Hood .. chuck in a bit of Davy Crockett as well (more cinema than TV) and the various Anderson puppet shows
