You and Me: Ice (1984) - FULL EPISODE

[@pumpkinlongshanks]

Take me back to those pure and innocent days! Never forgotten that theme tune in all these years.

[@gordontaylor5373]

They were great days - although I didn't think so at the time - but what I'd give to get them back now!

[@deenadam7793]

It's sung by UB40

It is like a blow to the stomach when I watch things like this. The nostalgia is so powerful. It makes me think that having digital memories is not good for some humans if they regret the mistakes they made during life. At least our ancestors only had Selective memories and words in books. We can literally confirm how much better life was by watching it on a screen.

Back when children’s tv actually taught you valuable things to learn. I learnt more from these than I did at school

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

Many modern kids' shows are educational.

[@onetruemoody5556]

Loved this! Everytime I was off school sick, I’d watch the schools programmes on 2 and channel 4 😊👏

[@aanunkitch2426]

Do you remember Portland bill and cockleshell bay, the flumps, pigeon street. Jam sandwiches and a quattro fizzy drink. Good days !

[@kristopherzvirblis8178]

I'm 37 and was born in 1984 . They don't make kids television programs like they used to. I too used to love being off of school sick watching these programs. I also remember only being able to get lucozade in a glass bottle from the chemist.

[@theseus27]

Hehe me too 😊

[@gordontaylor5373]

Wow! These are a real blast from the past! I used to watch these at school when I was 5 - I'm 40 now!

Just reminds me bing off school sick watching these episodes in pure comfort.

[@catfishgirl1cat705]

Miss being a kid and my childhood days.

[@RainbowFlowerCrow]

I just randomly remembered this show; we used to watch it in primary school!

[@VideotapeFTW]

On a wooden TV with big plastic buttons that had been wheeled in on a big stand? Me, too. ;-)

[@gordontaylor5373]

@@VideotapeFTW So did my mates and I! We used to watch it in the music room. We loved it. What wonderful days!

[@faiscacapoeira5]

Why don't they make kiddie programmes like this anymore? My 4 year old just sat here mesmerised, so did I.

[@TheRealBookofJoshua]

They do but they're all on CBBC or CITV. You're just not looking on the right TV channels.

[@niceguy6694]

Because they don’t want us to learn

[@simonbaker1239]

😂 "they"

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

They just playing the game, just remember the world chose it's path it's got nothing to do with me and some things can never be reversed

[@MerryGoGirl]

Oh it was a good day at school in the 80's when they rolled out the TV and put on You and Me.

[@VideotapeFTW]

Those of a certain generation 100% relate; the current generation has absolutely no idea what you mean by _"rolled out_ the TV".

[@MerryGoGirl]

@@VideotapeFTW For that, and so much more, I pity them.

[@gordontaylor5373]

I always used to love it - so did all my mates! Great days! If only they'd come back!

[@tv2work769]

The supposed treat for us was at the end of term when they rolled out the same TV and put on Star Wars or Ghost Busters as a treat instead of the usual interlude music and Schools TV. The kid who was asked to roll out was usually the Teachers favorite pet of that term . in my School they always put the scary public safety films on in the main assembly hall , so all the kids in the school could be scared into caution. In unison .

[@KingofPotatoPeople]

I remember as a kid thinking Cosmo and Dibs’ market was the same as Del Boy’s in Only Fools and Horses!

[@davidanderson1639]

You’re not too far off actually. The market was based on Shepherd’s Bush Market. The first series of twenty programmes was begun at the BBC's Lime Grove Studios, part of which overlooked Shepherd's Bush Market. It was completed at BBC Television Centre in Wood Lane, which became the show's regular home for all but the last series. Additional puppet characters joined Cosmo and Dibs for the final two seasons, and the street market disappeared in favour of a brightly coloured domestic setting.

[@w4tkn]

Im shedding a tear over the passing of Astro and Brian this evening. Ill never forget you guys.

[@brothermaleuspraetor9505]

I just thought about this and googled it, because I was thinking about how to say 'you and me', against 'you and I' LOL, this is a mega-blast from the past. I used to sit cross-legged in the TV room on floor having to watch this compulsory tv show. But it was fun to just chill for a while instead of in the classroom doing boring school stuff. So long ago now, faded memories.. but that tune.. wow. I remember it.

[@danchaplin134]

Thx for uploading this! I used to love this ha ha still do love the intro by ub40

[@VideotapeFTW]

You're very welcome. :-)

[@susancraig4374]

Days off school watching this on black & white tv snuggled up on the sofa with a bottle of Fergusade

[@alisonn7200]

This takes me back to my childhood. I'd completely forgotten about this programme.

[@bunglebonce]

It was good that UB4O took time out to record the theme tune.

[@VideotapeFTW]

I like to imagine it took them longer to nail this than whatever album they were working on at the time for some reason.

[@davidherron9151]

I loved that theme tune

[@nefariousrig2070]

This is so old school... they were probably still scratching on at the time!

I loved the theme cause it’s reggae and also pigeon street. Thanks for posting.....

[@RainbowFlowerCrow]

The nostalgia! I loved this show and Pigeon Street! I wish they made kids shows like these nowadays; they were so engaging!

[@80sandretrogubbins25]

Pigeon street was very "right on" for 1981-ish.

[@innovativeinnovation6629]

Fun Fact: UB40 performed this for the show. You'll notice parts of it sounds like Cherry Oh Baby.

[@michaelpowell1756]

Great show and theme tune the good old days

[@97channel]

When I was very young, I found it entrancing that it was set outdoors. I really don't know why.

[@VideotapeFTW]

I suppose it is a little unusual. Odd, the things that strike a chord for no reason in particular. :-)

[@Matt571]

Michael (Mr B.) Balfour was only a presenter in around 1984 but I'm sure his episodes were being repeated later. I also saw Mike Grady (Ken in Citizen Smith/Barry in Last of The Summer Wine) in the credits, I can remember him well as a presenter. I watched You and Me until 1987 when I decided I was too old. I remember my brother watching the later episodes in 1988-89 where they replaced Henry the Kangaroo with Sherbett the Robot and I remember the programme never looked as good when they were in the house which was when Baxter and Spike joined.

[@Tomsonic41]

I remember the name of this show, the intro song, and the puppet characters. I don't however remember it being set in a market, or the names of any of the characters! My pre-1986 memory is a bit fuzzy like that...

[@koserparveen3245]

Awosome memories nothing today can beat that time old is gold missssss my childhood
