This one time cantus sent me the words and I sungd them and jumped around a lot cause I was very excited...
I also used to watch a program that had a wicked witch called tea bag and her assistant called tea shirt and she used to look into her cup of tea and check for where the girl with the magic shoes was... her cup of tea was magic mind.
for the life of me I cant remembver what it was called

Wsas trapdoor the one with the clay animations with the monsters and things that used to crawl everywhere? I was scared of that...Mind you I was probably about 2 years old.
Ahem....I think you forgot....GUMBY!
And there was one with a baby who became a superhero when he blew a bubble with bubblegum or something. Fantastic Max? No...maybe? I don't know.
I wish I could relive the 80's just so I could watch the shows to renew my horrible memory

Here's one that hasn't been mentioned, and with possible the best theme tune in the entire cartoon world...
The Raccoons!

Oh my god... I can't believe we forgot about the wombles!!
Underground overground wombling free
The wombles of wimbledon
Common are we
Making good use of the things
That we find
The things that the everyday
Folks leave behind
Uncle Bulgaria, he can remember the days
That he wasn't behind The Times
With his map of the World
Pick up the pieces and take them to Tobermorey
Ahem...
I liked the wombles... why can't we have cartoons that encourage children to pick up litter these days?!!

Oh! Forgot another one!
The marvellous Crystal Maze, with the delectable Richard O'Brien (and Mumsy!)
hehehehe, hours of fun.
And... Jim'll Fix It!
My dad worked on an oil rig in the North sea while I was growing up and I always wanted to go visit him on the rig... i was planning on writing to ol' jim for years, but never did. He didn't seem to pick that many kids from the north anyways.
