    [cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]Anyone remember a programme called Dark Towers, or something like that ?

    Probably wasn't scary, but used to frighten the bejesus out of me !


    edit. found it, thought we watched it in school but wasn't sure

    Yes AFKA, we most definitely watched that at school. There was a load of others in the same series we watched too.

    So many memories...

    Chortlon and the Wheelies
    Rainbow (if you havent seen the "Twanger" episode, you need to google it! lol)
    Battle of the planets
    Knight Rider (coindidentally, I had a dream I was Michael Knight at the weekend - where the hell did that come from???)
    The A Team
    CHiPs (I used to love Ponch and Jon...not in a gay way of course!)
    Air Wolf
    Rentaghost (Sue Nichols as Miss Popov)
    Fun House (purely as I had a crush on one of the twins)
    Junior Kick Start / Kick Start
    We are the champions

    Rolf "can you guess what it is yet?" Harris' Cartoon club, on nightly in the 5.35pm slot on BBC1 just before the Neighbours days. I swear he used to trace a line on the paper. There's no way an old codger like that could draw something like that purely from memory lol.

    Sadly admit to watching Neighbours until the day I started working in London, circa 2001.

    Now were talking live fast die young...
  • Almost all the above - special mention to Chorlton and the Wheelies and Trapdoor though. Wasn't keen on the American ones like Knightrider and A-Team.

    Can I add Rhubarb & Custard and Magic Roundabout to the roll of honour?

    And one no-one remembers - Soldier and Me.
  • Bananna Splits Show - The Flashing Blade a special highlight - "You've got to fight for what is right, for all that you believe, It's right to fight for what we want, to live the way we please, as long as we have done our best then no-one can to more, and life and love and happiness were well worth fighting for"
    The Jackson Five Cartoon
    Casey Jones
    Bod
    Catweezel
    Doubke Deckers

    ......could be here all day !
  • Biker Mice From Mars
    Fireman Sam
    TMNT
    Round the Twist
    Are You Afraid of the Dark?

    I love s**t 90's kids tv.

    Another one in the School series was called Cloudburst and it had a bloke going around on a motorbike dressed in all black leathers and tinted skid lid. If my hazy middle aged memory serves me right I think it turned out to be the female housekeeper.

  • Its a shame that kids today don't have Saturday Morning cinema, used to love my trips to the cinema at Sidcup and collecting my ABC badges! only those of a certain age will remember that, SIdcup was pretty well behaved, I moved to Plumstead in 73 and started going to ABC Woolwich, man alive it was a bear pit in there at times, much more lively than Sidcup ever was!
