Shows that people forget or get lost in time

Brilliant though Brucie was, he narrated the stories while Dennis Waterman did the heavy lifting of the character voices. But when he was dispute with ITV at the turn of the century, repeats of this were the only place to hear him.

Of course he did. My mistake on the Dennis Waterman front. It's brought all of the voices flooding back.

I have come across two from 1997 ITV daytime

* Remote control cooking
* The neutral health show

Anyone remember these?

Don't remember those two - but I do remember Liz Earle's Lifestyle from around the same time, and little me thinking "a GMTV show in the afternoon, how odd".

Her YT channel includes a clip from this show, featuring a well-behaved Gordon Ramsay:

There are a few BBC One programmes that were in the 5.35pm slot between 1984 and the start of the afternoon repeat of Neighbours. Better remembered are Fax and Angela Rippon presented Masterteam.

There are others like First Class ( originally a BBC Scotland only programme ), Friday People and Go For It! which was presented by Robbie Vincent and challenged families to eat better and get fit. First Class was presented by Louise Batchelor when it was Scotland only, then switched to Debbie Greenwood when it went " national ".

First Class

On a separate subject lots of people remember Mike Amatt for Mop and Smiff, Mike, Mop and the Moke and for singing the theme to Jossy's Giants. However less well remembered is Forget Me Not Farm ( irony! )

Edit : I see it's mentioned in the post about the Fiddly-Foodle Bird. However, id forgotten it was a Mike Amatt fronted programme.

First class wasnt the only BBC Scotland Gameshow to get that slot, the other being Catchword while everyone else had Charlie in charge.

I will throw in "Dooby Duck's Disco Bus", a late 1980s kids programme, with puppets dancing to chart hits of the day.
It mixed between the tracks by fading to noise.
For those of us engineers involved with monitoring the network distribution (plus other jobs) it always caused panic when BBC 1 went to noise.
I don't think the show has stood the test of time.

Another relatively recent CBBC show that didn't get a large number of airings according to the BBC Programmes page and has already dropped into obscurity. This features the young Dean-Charles Chapman who later went on to appear in Game of Thrones.

I recall that, although I don't know what it consisted of.

I found it odd that you had Edd The Duck and Dooby Duck sharing the same era

There may have been some nepotism going on. Maybe Ed was Doobie's dad?

Staying with childrens tv, we all remember Going Live, on a Saturday morning with Sarah Greene and Phillip Schofield, and we've all heard of Swap Shop, with Noel Edmonds. Who remembers the one in between though, Saturday Superstore?

Interesting story about Saturday Superstore, Keth Chegwin mentioned this in a programme in 1996/7 about kids tv on a Saturday morning. He would go with the "delivery truck" on location each week, and unlike the OBs on Swap Shop, where it was only swaps, and maybe the odd star trying to swap something, with Saturday Superstore, they could have live bands. He remembers being in the production office one day, and listening to two tunes, and he was asked to decide which of the two bands should go on the show. He picked one, saying they were good. They were good; it was Wet Wet Wet! It was reckoned to be their first ever television appearance!

And I have to confess, I remember the title of Dooby Ducks Disco Bus!

I remember one episode of Superstore coming from the Play School set due to a scene shifters strike.
