Ooh yes, way back when the pip pip of the sonar was the height of technological sophistication.

Post by **Morgita** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:30 pm

And yes, Flipper and Skippy morphed into a dolpharoo or a kangaphin.

At least they spoke the same language

Anybody remember Jackie Gleason and the Honeymooners? "TO the MOON Alice!"

Of Clint Eastwood when he was Rowdy on Rawhide? "Rollin' rollin' rollin'....ummm tho my feet are swollen.....keep those doogies movin' RAWHIDE" With the swoosh swipe snap of the bull whip?

And what about Saturday morning shows? Roy Rogers on Trigger, Gene Autry, the Cisco Kid, Zorro, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Sergeant Preston of the Mounties and I'll never forget AAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhahahahaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA swinging through the trees with Jane.........Tarzan!!

Now those were great Saturday morning shows!

Yep Kimo sabi, i remember some of them but not all, now Ron Ely was tarzan in the made for TV series, and he could swing through my vines any time he wanted i can tell you

As alot of those programmes were American( tho i do remember Zorro) more than brit, do any of you Brits remember who Ann Aston was and what programme she was involved in

Loved the tune to Flambards also loved the double deckers anyone remember them? great tune at the time too

Post by **Horus** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 1:11 pm

LLL, I remember all of them

Christine, wasn't she (Ann Aston) a TV girl? used to see her with various people like Bruce Forsythe? Leggy blonde haired?

And ............ talking of Tonto and The Lone Ranger

this was one of my favourites from the 70's, the lyrics are a laugh if you listen carefully

Post by **Christine** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:20 pm

Ann Aston was the blonde on the " Golden shot " her side kick being Bernie the bolt, the main man so to speak i do believe was Bob Monkhouse.

I think the blonde you are thinking of H could have been Anthea Redfern, Brucies bit of stuff

Post by **Horus** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:31 pm

No, it was the same one I was thinking about Chris, I just got the Brucie bit wrong

I knew it was some sort of game show, just could not think which one.

Post by **Christine** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 5:41 pm

Anyone remember The Black and white Minstals ??

Post by **denisegr** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 6:45 pm

Swannnnneeee how I loved yer how I loved yer they were great Christine.

Post by **Bearded Brian** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:29 pm

Christine - it's not pc to remember them

I just saw them as white men dressed up as black men singing and dancing - didn't see them as having any racial overtones - just as a golly wog was a black doll that you got with jam.

Post by **Mimimay** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:42 pm

Oh Thanks Horus !
Where's Daktari ?

Post by **Jayway** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:42 pm

Loved the Lone Ranger - all the cowboys, just for the horses. That was my first piece I learnt for piano - William Tell overture - quicker I played it correctly , quicker she let me out the door. She was lethal with the ruler - I can still feel it on my fingers - -

I was just a kid back then, and living in the Dales, we coudl only get one channel providing the wind was in the right direction and the moon was on the wane

So telly was not really an option.

So here's the ones I remember.

Dr Who, with William Hartnell, then Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee.

Man From UNCLE. David McCullum and Robert Vaughn.

Other than that, it was cartoons, I always enjoyed those, Marine Boy was one of my favourites..

I recall the Euro stuff, like "The Flashing Blade" and Robinson Crusoe, (loved the theme tunes) as well as Belle and Sebastian..

I wondered why their mouths were not in synchronisation with what they were saying, it was my mum who had to explain to me about different languages..

Can anyone remember 'monkey'? I think that's what it was called. It was a kung-fu drama with animal/human characters.There was 'monkey', 'Pigsey' and a pale looking monk boy 'Tripitaka'.?

Post by **Bearded Brian** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:20 pm

I remember all of those Billh - but can you remember the opening scene of Robinson Crusoe? - a sailor 'fell' off the ship - he was meant to be dead but ashe went under the water you could clearly see him swim back under the ship.

And yes Jojo it was monkey.

Can you remember?
