Jamie! Jamie! Jamie and his Magic Torch! Down the helter skelter, faster and faster into Cuckoo Land!

OK maybe part of that song was made up, I can't remember it now. Bagpuss ruled.

My first crush, when I was about 6, was on Jayce, from Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, lol. Does that make me weird?

Also, Dogtanian and the 3 Muskerhounds!

Does anyone remember a cult BBC Children's Programme called Chocky? I remember being enthralled with it... but then again... that was many moons ago :razz:

ooo.... I love the rugrats. My daughter was scarily like Angelica at one stage :eek:

I don't think All Grown Up is a patch on the original though :sad:

element212
23-03-2007, 03:16 PM
I like All Grown Up i always wanted to see what would happen when they got older when i was little

TempusFugit
23-03-2007, 03:19 PM
Nah.... best left the way it was...(in my humble opinion).

I mean..seriously... would you like to know how Elliot and ET carried on with their lives? Or Barney the Dinosaur realises that perhaps he should stop playing with kiddies and get a real job?

If it isn't broken.. don't fix it... :razz:

23-03-2007, 03:30 PM

/me raises her wing in favour of keeping the rugrats babies forever...

'tis nostaligia you see....

Also... what about Peter Pan. They bought out a film about what happened when he did grow up (Hook)... very disappointing (even though I just love Robin Williams).

That is the prosecutions case, your honour :razz:
