Following on froma discussion on a tv-based forum, I was wondering what old shows (especially from a dinnertime on ITV) forumites wuld be interested to see again on a dvd compilation. Apparantly, Granada have most shows in their archive so they do still exist... YOU have to be of a certain age to remember the delights of Gideon (yellow helpful melancholy duck voiced by Tim Brooke-Taylor), The Learning Tree, Get Up and Go! ("Mooncat" with Beryl Reid and the priest off Brookside), Little Blue (a cartoon elephant who got covered in ink and turned blue), A Handful Of Songs (bloke with a guitar and a woman singing songs) and Rupert (the original ATV show using scary puppets)... how good would such a dvd be? I reckon Freemantle Media ought to pull their finger out and release a Rainbow dvd featuring episodes from the 70's (with Rod, Jane & Matthew Corbett, and Rod, Jane and Roger) - all the dvd's out at the moment have late 80's/early 90's shows on.

For me, it would have to be a remake of Lassie...... but with the original dog of course!

clangers for me.

Already have a DVD of Jamie and the magic torch! (Wouldn't get past the PC mafia now, Wellybob, the backward cat, speaks with an Irish accent)

How about chorlton and the wheelies?

missed those two progs were they 80s ?

Yep, standard school dinnertime 10 minute stuff.

I'd like to see the Moomins again just to see if I could understand....
