Loved the ATV fanfare. I used to watch Sapphire and Steele with my mum as a small kid and the ATV intro was so dramatic it was almost as if it were part of the shows theme tune to me. The Wind In The Willows theme was a thing of beauty, written and performed by the folk legend Ralph McTell.. Seeing Sooty and Matthew Corbett triggers some memories. They used to live not far from where my dad worked at the time and used to provide the kids entertainment at the annual employees summer fete. I got to shake Sooty’s hand. Or Matthew Corbetts thumb if you prefer.

Always remember Officer Gotcha on the unicycle. 😁 HR Puffinstuff...yeah, someone was puffin' stuff when they made that program alright, I'd say. 🤭 Bananaman was one of the weirdest, most hilarious concepts ever... don't really remember the cartoon itself. Good luck on getting the Duck Tales theme out of your head. That thing is a serious earworm. I remember watching Little House On The Prairie as a kid...my mum loved it, though I think in hindsight it was mainly due to the fact that she fancied Michael Landon. 😁 The Littlest Hobo always made me cry, even just the theme song.
