Oh Judie, you must be nearly as young as your picture. I remember showing my children 'Tales of the Riverbank' and now I am showing my Grandchildren.

Just to prove I am really old (sad old git) the first programs I remember are 'Billy Bean and his machine' in 1951 and Prudence Kitten around 1952. Then there was 'Muffin the Mule' around 1952/1953. (name suspect)

Much later I remember 'Captain Pugwash' and his crew. They consisted of       ' Roger the cabin boy' , 'Master Bates' , and 'Seaman Stains'  Is it me or are all these names rather rude and the early childrens program makers were taking the Micky out of the public using names like this for childrens TV?

Hi Angela.

They were not rude then, but the evolution of life has made them into rude words and phrases. This maybe why some of these programmes have not been rerun like Bill and Ben, Andy Pandy etc.

How life can change things.

Best Wishes.

Sorry Sailor, but I believe the producers at the BBC knew exacty what they meant. Even the title is suspect!!! Too much of a coincidence in one program!!! They where taking the P***.

Cathy remembers a mouse called Toppo Gigio (spelling?) but I can only recall Speedy Gonzales. Don't forget Fingerbobs - a real show from the 60's, Blue Peter, the Wooden Tops, Camberwick Green and, a particular favourite of mine, Noggin the Nog - Oliver Postgate is a genius.

Hi Phil(Hellene)

I remember the mouse Topo Giggio too, and all the others too, some of which were still going when my son, who is now 30 was little and we used to watch them together.  I remember my daughter being particularly keen on Pingu the Penguin which was another great programme.  Then of course there was Tony Hart and his pictures, and Morph.  I believe that he is was the first character that came out of the Aardman company, the creators of Creature Comforts. The people who invented Wallace and Grommit.

I suppose one good thing about getting older, we can see how some areas of content and production in television/cinema have improved.  I can remember as a relatively small child when we got our first TV, and it was very definitely grainy black and white! 

I know this thread first started about Big Brother, just wondered what people's views are about REALITY TV in general.  It seems that a fair proportion of time each day is set aside for Reality TV.  I have read one or two articles recently from people in the business saying they thing the 'bubble' is about to burst.  I know a little about that area of TV as my son has worked in it - not BIG BROTHER I hasten to add, but he has worked on similar programmes.

Hi Lynne,

Firstly, well done to your son, what a great job!!!

Im personally not that fussed on reality tv, i find it quite boring, although i do love watching people! But i do have to say that i absolutely love The Osbournes, that makes me laugh so much!!, i cant believe people actually go on like that family, very dissfunctional (spelling) but very very amusing to watch!!! Ozzy does it for me LOL
