True. But try a Tractor Ted episode when they are jack-hammering fence poles into the ground ... "Les is having a problem getting it straight" had me and DiL sniggering while watching with my 18 month-old GS.

Look forward to the true golden age of kids TV, otherwise known as "EVERYTHING IS AN ADVERT, BUY OUR TOYS, TELL YOUR PARENTS TO BUY OUR TOYS!!!".

Ahhhh, good times

You forget how dull and short most episodes of Blue Peter were.

Yeah I was a bit especially as niece has been playing bongos with mine and telling me how much they're like cake but she didn't bat an eyelid.

Noone ever remembers Star Fleet.

The space funeral got me when I was about ten. And the hairy guy from Queen did all the music for it too. It was far better than Terrahawks

Just watched some of the documentary trip down memory lane ...

Nostalgia ain't wot it used to be !
