The show was based on a 1965 film called Clarence the cross eyed lion, which starred Marshall Thompson as Dr. Marsh Tracy -the same character he played in Daktari, so no type casting there then. Daktari's a Swahili word for "as" -? Title: Re: days gone by Post by: hornet6 on October 28, 2009, 06:41:43 PM get smart, man from uncle, tales of the riverbank, jackanory,old grey whistle test.

Title: Re: days gone by Post by: JayJay on December 09, 2009, 07:49:38 AM Hi,
Tinga and Tucker. I was in their club and still have my boomerang and badge. Anyone else remember these along with Auntie Jean and of course Willie Wombat. This was my nickname (probably shouldn't admit to this on-line) because when tickled I would say (and actually still do) "don't tickle me", just like Willie Wombat used to say to Auntie Jean. :-[ I was also in the Bazooka Joe club (thanks Nomad for remembering this because not many people seem to when I mention it) and I probably still have the secret code book somewhere. I also have my Blue Peter badge. Bagpuss was neat - I found this link - it is really something as I liked this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDa3j_53FUo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDa3j_53FUo) I was madly in love with Captain Scarlet and absolutely adored the original theme tune - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwJWr_Zk1R8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwJWr_Zk1R8). Spectrum is Green! I still like to watch it and still find the voice of the Mysterons a little creepy. Mr Benn, the hair bear bunch, banana splits, arabian nights :) Mr Benn was definitely out there - I wonder what his creator was smoking. I used to like the music to that and lately it has been used on another program http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVFcIJWe0zE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVFcIJWe0zE).I used to love Banana Splits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS8RVkaIM9c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS8RVkaIM9c), especially those little girls who used to get up and dance but I can't find a clip of that. Arabian Nights - I liked the donkey Zazoom. And I wanted to be a Double Decker - well who didn't? - Oh Sticks you were cute :-* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNFd4GX3QPM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNFd4GX3QPM). I also liked Follyfoot - more the credits than the actual program - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVgyxhe849k (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVgyxhe849k) and White Horses - again that theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZXzmGTR0GQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZXzmGTR0GQ) I too liked Fireball XL5, Tbone. I think we still have an annual at my Mums. I adored Zoonie the Lazoon. I was very young when this was on and it was watched more so by my big brothers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXGGuqXB8h4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXGGuqXB8h4) Captain Pugwash was always a favourite in our house bacause my Dad had some tattoos and one was just like the Black Pig - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpIlLqfd_xI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpIlLqfd_xI). What about Top Cat - haven't seen this mentioned. Still like to watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykRZbOb1c5c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykRZbOb1c5c) The same goes for Bewitched. It is still good even though it is obviously sixties. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihuQFnuxhkY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihuQFnuxhkY) Elizabeth Montgomery was lovely. and how can you forget trumpton??? ;D I can't, especially Pugh, Pugh, Barney Magrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P5wcCuNZbY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P5wcCuNZbY)It is nice to share these memories with each other - I could keep going but I had best not. I have had a rough night - I think I am coming down with something - so I have been on the computer a fair bit. Writing this post, I have definitely noticed a theme - I was obviously drawn by the music to most of the above programmes and it has been fun finding them and listening to them again. Just to finish, here is a link to a medley of tunes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jHvA8qMy58 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jHvA8qMy58). Enjoy, JJ ;D Title: Re: days gone by Post by: Chevy Rick on December 09, 2009, 10:23:22 AM JJ i think you have come down with some thing ??? toooooo much time on your hands, Janice get out on that trike. ;D ;D ;D
