TV Meme Day 13
I am attempting for brevity today, simply because I don't want mass defriendings by Day 14 :D
Favourite Non-cartoon show:- Blue Peter, no contest. I watched this religiously. Bought the annuals, donated to the yearly appeal, missed it during summer. I am convinced I saw the best years, with first Val, John and Peter and then Lesley, John and Peter, classic stuff. There's like a zillion clips on YouTube and most of them are bloopers but have a rummage if you're curious. The show is still on the air today and is, as far as I know, the longest running children's programme in the world (it debuted in 1958).
Close runners up: Play Away and Why Don't You? (Russell T Davies was involved in the latter - I'm fairly sure he's the reason I stopped watching, now that I realise what changes he made).
Favourite cartoon:- now this is where I have to restrain myself :) I am still very fond of cartoons, although I'm choosey :) I was less descriminating as a kid but the cartoons I watched the most then I will still watch and enjoy now.
1) Tom and Jerry - simply the best. The early shorts are beautiful pieces of animation and should be cherished. The very later cartoons suck rocks but the golden period with Fred Quimby producing were just outstanding.
2) Battle of the Planets - no, I didn't know what it was really about! I just loved the show :D Just goes to show what you can do with careful editing and overdubbing :P
3) Willo the Wisp - this I have on DVD and it's still brilliant :D
4) Scooby Doo - KILL SCRAPPY DOO! Ruined this cartoon but the earlier series are still fun and it has one of the best theme songs ever :D
5) Wacky Races/Stop the Pigeon! - I'm indebted to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
halcyon_shift for reminding me of this one. Dastardly and Muttley for the Win!!
Stop motion animation:-
1) The Wombles - awwwww! *cuddles* Bernard Cribbins narration for the win! And btw, the children's books the series was based on are fantabulous and should be read to every child everywhere.
2) Camberwick Green/Trumpton/Chigley - stop motion animation at its finest :D Brian Cant was another voice of my childhood :)
3) Ivor the Engine - ahhh perfect :D The soothing welsh toned narration was just wonderful :)
And now I must go about my Saturday - I really need to go shopping, I'm worse than Old Mother Hubbard atm.
