If your in England on channel 5 I notice they still show The Clangers and Bagpuss.

For people who don't know The Clangers and Bagpuss, they are children shows, probably made before I was born ;) Thats the reason why I am a little suprised that they still show these two children shows since they are very old.

Yes, its great to see another huge fan of them ;)

Only problem is these two children shows are on at about 6am in the morning so...sod that! I'm not that much of a huge fan of them :p
 
Me neither! I can't even be bothered to set the video! :) I did that once for Roobarb and Custard, but when I watched it I was very disappointed, I didn't find it very good at all. Maybe I should leave them in the rose-tinted haze of nostalgia! :D
 
You've never heard of them?! Ell, you have had a deprived childhood! :)

They are all children's TV programmes from the 1970s, which aired on UK TV, and are fondly remembered by many 30-something adults!

Clangers = Puppet creatures which lived in holes covered by dustbin lids on a planet. They were knitted, the sets consisted of lots of aluminium foil, they spoke in whistles, and there was a Soup Dragon. Maybe you shouldn't have asked. :D

Bagpuss = a cat soft toy. There was a little girl called Emily, and it was set in a toy shop. The toys came to life, and there were mice on the 'mouse organ', a scholarly wooden woodpecker called Professor Yaffle, a rag doll, and I can't remember anything else.

Roobarb and Custard = a cartoon with a cat and a dog. Just to confuse things, the dog (Roobarb) was yellow ie custard colour, and the cat Custard was pink (rhubarb colour). :confused: The animation was weird and flickery, but it was cool. There was a voice-over by some British man, possibly Richard Briers (?).

Oh well, you had to be there I think! :D

Oh my gosh, Roobarb and Custard, I remember them! :eek: I watched them and I used to read the books of them too.
 
Arghhh, now I've got that awful theme music from Rhubarb and Custard stuck in my head. I bet it stays there all day now. :D
