Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Lucinda]

Someone sent me the Wombles theme not so long ago and it sometimes plays itself when Media Player is on random.

It goes through my head every time I'm on Wimbledon Common. I had some videos of it, it was great.

Wikipedia is good for information on these things.

[Jono]

I was not that keen of Smart. But I LOVED bitza. Now that was ahead of it's time!

[demonhorse]

What about Little Eric of 29 Acacia Road?

aka Bananaman?

[John]

aka Bananaman?

Yay Bananaman!!

[Jono]

Ahh! Now I'm with you. Banana man was something I'd watch, but it wasn't perhaps something I watched a lot.

[demonhorse]

I LOVED How2 and It'll Never Work... they were kinda geeky shows

and how about....

BATFINK!!!

[John]

I'm gonna test some peoples minds now. You remember that Barney was on early on Saturday mornings on ITV? There was a show on before it, kinda like a panel type game show for kids and if they got a question wrong they'd have a forfit of eating something disgusting like smarties in cottege cheese. Does anyone else remember this?

[Jono]

Ew.. This must have been before the days of crappy GMTV Kids and Diggit with Des and Fearne.

Fun House!

[Lucinda]

Yes I do. I remember them eating some kind of food with flour all over it. I can't remember much else about it though.

[Jono]

Did any one ever watch TCC - The Children's Channel. I can't remember much about it, but it was one of the reasons we got Sky way back in the 90s. Turned into Trouble though

Nope... I remember a jungle based kids quiz game thingy called Top Banana that used to be on before Wacaday

I just remember the forfits, i cant remember its name.

Fun House was legendry!

"It's wacky! It's fun! It's cr-a-a-a-zy! It's outrageous!

"Fun House... it's a whole lot of fun, prizes to be won,

It's a real crazy show where anything can go.

Fun House... it's a quiz, it's a race, a real wacky place,

Use your body and your brain if you wanna play the game!"

[Lucinda]

Did anyone watch Chucklevision? I think it's still on actually. I liked it. I also liked the game show the Chuckle Brothers did, called To Me To You I think. Great memories...

I do and it finished at 5pm to allow for The Lifestyle Channel

[Jono]

Chucklevision - I still watch it if it's on

I loved how they always put the outtakes in at the end.

TCC - Haha yes. And I think it then shared with The Family Channel/Challenge TV

[Lucinda]

I also still watch Chucklevision sometimes. I'm not often around to watch it anymore though

[Serin]

I remember a bizarre Australian show called 'Round the Twist'.

[Jono]

Loved this one too. Alvin and The Chipmunks! Who didn't hate that theme tune?

[Lucinda]

I remember a bizarre Australian show called 'Round the Twist'.

I remember that! They lived in a lighthouse.

[Jono]

Any one remember the SuperTed vitamins! They were so cool, tasty and chewwy!

[John]

Skippy, Skippy, Skippy the bush kangeroo!

[Jono]

I remember that! They lived in a lighthouse.

Someone always used to sing that a few years ago at our school. Dead annoying.

I hated it because of some kid... I'm thinking Fergus... who used to fart and smell.

Skippy, Skippy, Skippy the bush kangeroo!

I used to watch Lassie :-?

[Lucinda]

Any one remember the SuperTed vitamins! They were so cool, tasty and chewwy!

I remember those! I hated them. My mum made me take them :cry:

It's only now that I know that I'm intolerant to artificial sweetners, so vitamin pills make me ill. My mum never believed me that they made me ill.

[demonhorse]

Loved this one too. Alvin and The Chipmunks! Who didn't hate that theme tune?

#Alvin, Simon, Theodore.... do do do do do do, do do, do do do do#
