Forgotten Children's Television Programmes

Does anyone remember 'Children of the Dog Star'. This was shown during the summer holidays in the 80's or early 90's. I can significantly remember the theme tune from when I was younger. Just can't find it on the net.

moschops

something to do with Welsh dinosaurs

Four Feather Falls, Torchy the Battery Boy, Twizzle...very early puppet series on ITV.

The Adventures of Robin Hood with Richard Greene

Ivanhoe...starring Roger Moore

William Tell, played by Conrad Phillips

Crackerjack, with Eamonn Andrews as host

Zoo Time, introduced by Desmond Morris

Junior Criss Cross Quiz

The Forest Rangers

Minnow on the Say, a dramatisation of the book by Philippa Pearce

The ITV production of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

The Queen Street Gang

Border TV produced an inter-schools quiz programme called Topple where each contestant got an odd-shaped brick for a correct answer. The winner was the person who built the highest tower, without it falling over.

That reminds me .... Woof! , when it starred Sarah Smart. Filmed round my neck of the woods too
Knightmare was always my favourite show when I was a kid-- shame they had to scrap it.

Woof! Yes. Wasn't PC Valentine (John Bowler) from The Bill in that? Or have I got the wrong person.

Kevin and Co
Activ8
It'll Never Work (hosted by Sally Gray and that theme tune by Depeche Mode).

Sarah replaced Thomas Aldwinckle as Eric's sidekick in the original series and provided, at first, a welcome break from Aldwinckle's excruciating "Brill-i-ant!" catchphrase. Alas, Sarah's character soon adopted it so it's a miracle she's ended up with a blossoming career!

Oh - forgot about Activ8. Remember its predecessors " Stopwatch " and " Move It "? Stopwatch had Paul McDowell as well as copresenters, and Move it had Simon O'Brien and an actress from Grange Hill.

don't forget the aptly named Edward Fido who played Eric

FIDOE, steve.

Was this his real name, or a stage name adopted as a running gag?

Anyone remember the early tvam programmes for children? I remember Data Run presented by a Scottish woman who used to speak to her computer, and one which I think was called Splat! which included James Baker ( later of WAC ) in a game show in which if the contestants got the question wrong an " egg " would open above their head, the audience would make clucking noises and out would poor feathers and / or gunge.

The Data Run presenter was Edwina Lawrie; viewers named the computer Edwin in a competition.

As for Splat! - James presented the game element, Crack It!, which was as you described. But the main presenter was Adam somebody-or-other and he had a moustache. Splat! also had a mock soap, No Adults Allowed.

EDIT: Adam Wide, according to the TV-am website.

Thanks! Remember being disappointed when Crack It! didn't appear for a second series
