We have linked Mary Whitehouse to the Goodies, then Monkey. What about that other great show that came on at 6:00 PM before Dr Who, The Kenny Everett Video Show. Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall at a dinner party with Kenny Everett and Mary Whitehouse (and throw in Roger Waters and Hot Gossip for light entertainment)

[MrB (Simon)]

Those were the days eh? The Afternoon Show on ABC.

I miss all those great shows that were on before Dr Who.
Some more greats were Trap Door, Astroboy, go go Gadget, Roger Ramjet.... and ofcourse Danger Mouse(voiced by David Jason.... Inspector Frost, G G G Granville)..... There were stacks of em.
Strangely tho, I rarely watched the doc, I'd hang around for the music but then go do something else.

Sadly, I remember every word to the intro of Roger Ramjet.

Go back a bit further Simon...
What about school holidays when you sat and watched re-runs of
The Beachcombers and The Adam Ant Show. MotorMouse and AutoCat
and the Hillbilly Bears. The Banana Splits Show etc.
'You gonna shoot him Paw? You gonna shoot that pesky varmint Paw?'

The Banana Splits! I used to love that show as a kid. I found a few episodes at our local video show and thought I'd show my kids what I used to love in the old days. After a few minutes viewing I thought..."what is this rubbish??"

Up and at em' Atom Ant.
And what about Batfink...."Your bullets cannot hurt me, my wings are like a shield of steel"
and that all time classic from the early 60's "The Nutty Squirrels Present" Their theme song is totally awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oObZFYsBMUM

I've some episodes of the Banana Splits on video, and I've got to admit that they aren't as funny as I remember them to be.
I should have just kept my happy memories.

Simon,

There's a new 3D-animated version of Astroboy. You can find the trailer online.

I hope it's good.

Regards,
Humayun

Saw a preview of it at the movies the other week and doesn't look too bad

I know we have digressed a bit off topic but...
I was fortunate enough to see them live in Melbourne in 2006 at the Arts Centre - 4 rows from the front of the stage. One of my most memorable nights of my life.

And yes, this ABC after school!!! Astroboy, Roger Ramjet, The Goodies, Monkey, Catweazle, and in the 80's, Metal Mickey!

The Goodies have been more popular in Australia since their first run of episodes because of the fact that Aunty repeated them ad-nauseum for years, unlike the BBC, who I believe never showed re-runs.

I've a confession to make....
I'm a member of The Goodies Fan Club.

Hey don't forget Captain Pugwash co-starring Master Baits and Seaman Stains . Love the era where PC had no place (snigger snigger). How did they get away with it? Childrens program indeed.

You may have loved it, but it's apparently a figment of your imagination Marki - sorry

Quote:

Pugwash!

Claim: The characters on the British TV cartoon series Captain Pugwash had names that were sexual double entendres.

Status: False.

Origins: The Captain Pugwash cartoon, which originally ran on the BBC between 1958 and 1967, is widely believed to have featured characters with risqué maritime names such as Master Bates, Seaman Staines, and Roger the Cabin Boy. In fact, the crew of the famous Black Pig ship included sailors with no such names .....

The rest can be read at ... http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/pugwash.asp

Sorry to disillusion all who have subsribed to this most interesting myth. I even thought I remembered these names being used myself. Strange how we can convince ourselves of things that aren't quite correct hey?

Cheers,

Hell I even remember the opening music??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpIlLqfd_xI but hey this is not the cartoon I remember going with the song???

The one I am thinking of had badly drawn characters with human mouths superimposed over the top who worked a tug boat. Gonna have to check up on this one or is my memory really falling to pieces (I think it very well may be).

[BerrieK]

Hey jjj with a thread title like 'filth' it is no wonder that there have been so many hits!!

Kerrie

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

As I remember, Captain Pugwash was a paper puppet, much like the characters in the original "South Park."

@ Kerrie.

[marki]

JJJ, I often tell my students that when I studied biochem and organics at uni I lost most my childhood memories, perhaps theres more to it then I think (truth be known they were more likely lost to excess CH3CH2OH consumption ). Still there is some cognitive conflict in my last remaining brain cell. I seem to be mixing my cartoons up .

Mark

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Don't fret Mark, they did do an animated remake.
That is the one you were thinking of.
