Sam Palmer Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 This brings back memories of the highlights of the school holidays for me - all those dubbed children's programmes. I don't know how many times I must have watched Heidi, Robinson Crusoe etc, but I never missed them. Back then I could probably quote the scripts whilst watching them, I knew them so well!

Charlottechicken Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I used to love Jamie and the Magic Torch, it rocked Also loved the music to the characters on Bod, and recently found out all the Bod music was written by Derek Griffiths (of Play School fame).

chelsea Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Love Rhubarb & Custard! Also C.H.I.P.S & Why don't you, bring back nostalgic memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Tales of the Unexpected with the weird dancers. Now where's that sofa to hide behind It's really funny these days. Think ITV3 or 4 had some reruns a bit back. I saw one where a woman killed he husband with a frozen leg of lamb, then cooked it, and the police who came round ate it so there was no evidence left. Mwah ha ha ha ha!!!! See - funny really. Not quite right, but comedy anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh, I loved the music to Rhubarb and Custard, hated the wobbly animation though. I always obeyed the Why Don't You theme tune and when it came on I would switch the telly off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mwah ha ha ha ha!!!! See - funny really. Not quite right, but comedy anyways. It was called Lamb to the SLaughter - a brilliant tale! ALfred Hitchcock directed and American version with the lovely Barbara Bel Geddes who played Miss Ellie in Dallas as the murderer. Great stuff. I love that theme tune too!

Valkyrie Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 That's the only Tales episode that I remembered - probably filed it away in the grey matter under "may be useful one day". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Casey Jones (steamin' an' a rollin'). They are advertising Twin Peaks DVD's on the tv at the moment - I'd forgotten the tune - yep I agree very haunting - yet peaceful - and I liked it at the time.

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Oh no, it's great! 20 years since it was on telly. How time flies! It was such Event TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeggySue1 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 This is really, really going to age me but does anyone remember the original Robinson Crusoe programme, it was voiced over English as it was originally in French. If I could hum you the tune you may remember it better, but it was quite haunting and addictive. In fact I'm humming it as I write this! Pleeese someone say they remember it I also like the theme tune to Cold Case, in fact I bought the album that the tune is on ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Um, yes. Actually I only watched it because I had a crush on the guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Practically anything in the Battlestar Galactica soundtrack is amazing. It was all a new score by Bear McCreary who was stupidly young to be writing such accomplished stuff. He's incredible. Youtube search for the theme tune and also for Battlestar Galactica Passacaglia. The first is a world-music tinged Hindu prayer and the latter is a beautiful classical piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tales of the unexpected that stuck in my mind is the man who ate royal jelly and turned into a giant bee (watch out all you bee- keepers!) and the cat who was really beethoven re-incarnated and the husnband hated it. anyway to cut a long story short he was pruning the hedges came in with all scratches up his arms, the wife though he had killed the cat and I think the wife killed him........cut to the end cat walks in Also didnt French and Saunders do the tales of the unexpected dance??? or did I dream it??
