I like me a bit of retro. This is my house phone.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned muffin the mule, the woodentops, bill and ben, the flowerpot men, weed, little weed, Err, what else, my memory isn't so good these days!

Andy Pandy - my nickname as a child was Loobyloo because I loved her :rotfl:. There was another programme with little girl who had a dress with a magic flower on - she would touch the flower, and do a hop, skip and a jump and . . . I can't remember what happened then :rotfl::rotfl:However I do remember wanting a dress like that so my mum made me one, and I was devastated when it didn't work :rotfl:

Trumpton and Camberwick Green.

I bought my OH Trumpton on dvd. I have Mary, Mungo and Midge and Bagpuss on dvd too.

I'm after one like that - a proper phone with a dial, and some weight to it so that the whole thing doesn't come off the table when you lift the receiver, which happens with these modern flimsy types.

I've been promising myself to order one every month, but there's never any money left

We had Bagpuss on video. It was after my time, but my own children loved it. I got the Clangers too, which they also loved. I always remember understanding what the Clangers were saying!

Ooooh, just remember Roobarb and Custard with Richard Briers doing the voices. And Paddington where he was the only character which moved - all the others were paper cutouts and paper backgrounds.

I bought that one about 5 years ago. It's an original but had been refurbished and looked brand new. Only cost £27, but the bloke doesn't do them anymore on ebay.

Bizzy Lizzy! I've actually got a Bizzy Lizzy annual here. It's the same one that I used to have as a child, but it got lost at some point. Then I spotted one in a charity shop and had to buy it!
