Your never too old ...

Robbie the Robot. I got one for being a good boy when I had my tonsils removed when I was 4.

 

I imagine a Robbie the robot toy would be worth a few bob now ,the only other person i remember was Zachery for some reason.."Land Of The Giants" must have been on about the same time or maybe a bit later as i remember more about that

 

Ah Bill and Ben..was it not flob a dop dop weeeed!

 

Blimey,memory lane,love it.
My first watch was a Hopalong Cassidy one,it came in a box shaped like a saddle and the reverse of the watch had "Good luck fom Hoppy" engraved on it. think it was based on a kids Timex watch.

Supercar, (H.o. I think the main character was Mike Mercury).I used to have a dinky or corgi toy of supercar but I dropped it one day and the plastic clear roof broke off, bet it would be worth thousands now, seeing as only a couple of us remember it,lol, loved all the Gerry Anderson stuff,excellent. Favourite was Fireball XL5 with Zoonie the lazoon......."welcome home", anyone recall that or is it just me??


Noggin the Nog was kinda black and quite scary,loved it tho

Captain pugwash also used to be a cartoon strip in a newspaper, cant recall but it may have been the Sun Sketch Mirror or Express,my dad had them all at one time or other?? No unfortunately there never was a Seaman Staines or a Master Bates or Roger the cabin boy but we all thought there was didnt we?? lol

Now the nice stuff, Rag tag and Bobtail and tales of the riverbank

Does anyone remember Hiram Holiday, think he was a sort of superhero in the early 60s

 

Electrickery! the first series was the best

 

Ha Ha classic! what a lot of flob a dop a dop blob a dop dop ..sounds a bit like me after a few drinks!..my wife thinks I've gone daft watching Bill and Ben

 

Noggin the Nogg - bizarre childrens prog.

 

Too true, Chopper's and Grifters were well before my time but both my boys had them, and all of the above applies to them as well as me.
Only difference was they were bringing c90 tapes for them nu-fangled computers home, me telling them to concentrate on proper school work and stop buggering about with things that will never catch on!!
See? I was right too!!!!

 

What about Roger the cabin boy?

 

Sadly it's all a myth - these "rude" names never really existed. It was Master Mates.

 

What were his parents thinking? And the Vicar at the Font?
