  • I used to watch the get along gang and rescu rangers! used to watch the tapes over and over!
    We also had a recording of dirty dancing which I watched alot when I was really young, which is quiet odd! I was born in 85 so was only 2 when it came out. It was weird wathcing it for the first time as an adult and understnding more of the story.....I had no recollection of the abortion scene even though I watched it 100 times!

    Its an age thing isn't it - lots of programmes mentioned here (including Button Moon, Pob, He-Man, Care Bears etc) were what my brother watched when he was little. He's 7 years younger than me, and none of those programmes were regular viewing for me.

    I watched the original Magic Roundabout, Captain Pugwash, the Clangers and Bagpuss (which I have on video now, its fabulous) :D.

    Videos weren't invented when I was a kid!! :D We just had a tiny black and white telly, got when I was about 8/9 I think it was. But I never watched it anyway, too busy out playing!!! When my kids were younger we had a "top loader", but mostly used for recording progs that "clashed" - no iplayer then either!!!!! But TBH, my kids never watched much telly either, they were always out playing as well. Although my daughter used to love Sesame St, I think she was about 1 when it first came out in Britain!!! She'd sit on the floor glued to the antics of Big Bird and Co :)
