bluekarin Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 After looking for the theme tune for Butterflies (after reading The Good life topic) I found this site http://www.televisiontunes.com/index.php But as usual, my mind has gone blank when trying to find programmes I used to love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbb Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Really good link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 WARNING!!! Don't do the ringtone thing - it signs you up to Jamster & charges you £4.50 straight off. Then continues to charge this every month until you message STOP to them........I have just been caught out EDIT; I phoned them and complained that there is nothing to warn the customer about this on the site,and they are refunding me.

Sorry hun - I have no idea what you are talking about!! Maybe I have led a sheltered life! Great website though. It also reminded me of a few old programmes that I would love to see again but had to make do with a couple of clips on You Tube. The main one was "Arthur of the Britons." I used to over Oliver Tobias in that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 It's 'cause you's a youngster! The Pingwings were knitted penguins and made long before The Clangers. Torchy and Twizzle same time. Due South is more recent, sort of - Erin's been watching and drooling (Paul Gross as the Mountie) recent reruns on Sky. Um, Lancer was one of many cowboy series in the 70's. The Flashing Blade was one of those dubbed French (?) programmes around the late 70's I think - I know it was more his childhood and my brothers than mine. What is even more disturbing is that I remember the lyrics a little too well and been singing along to lots of others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Oooh I spy Daktari - anyone remember the lion?! awww, Clarence. i remember Clarence and Cheetah the chimpanzee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Oh yes the chimp! I'd forgotten it was called Cheetah as well - very confusing with Tarzan on the go at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks for the warning about the ringtones thingy ... I am looking for a ringtone for my new phone, soooo tempted to download 'The White Horses' theme tune! (Showing my age, I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenNutter Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Wasn't Clarence the cross-eyed lion? Daktari, now that's bringing back a few memories. I think there are a few of us on this forum of 'a cetain age'. How depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 My favourite childhood theme tune was Casey Jones Fabulous.... my hero (those of you under 45 will need to Google ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Often sung by me - it was my initials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenNutter Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Oooh! Just re-living The Double Deckers - come on all you 40somethings, you must remember the kids with the den on a double decker bus. My OH built our son a tree house 12 years ago with a lift up hatch and a pole to slide down and when challenged admitted it was based on the Double Deckers. (Sad!).

Valkyrie Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Gillian Bailey was in it (I think that was her name) - last saw her in When the Boat Comes in. I wonder what happened to her? Treehouse sounds soooo . I made do with 2 wheelbarrows, a blackboard and easel propped against the washing line pole and a plank - made a brilliant pirate ship. Never had a treehouse, but my dad built a wendy house that was still standing strong even after the children came along (by then it was a mini potting shed). Um, I looked up The Buccaneers too.

Lewis Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks for the warning about the ringtones thingy ... I am looking for a ringtone for my new phone, soooo tempted to download 'The White Horses' theme tune! (Showing my age, I know) You'll be able to download it somewhere else, or if there is a youtube video, can take the audio from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 What a fab site. When I was browsing for something else I saw "Marine Boy". I haven't thought about that programme in...well, pretty much my whole adult life. The moment the first note started I was transported back to being a very small child and being completely enraptured with Marine Boy. I always wanted some of that gum which enabled one to breathe underwater. Thanks for the warning about the cost of theme tunes, there were plenty that I was considering downloading!
