There were many nostalgic programmes that I liked quite well. my favourites were You Bet, Beadles about, Gladiators, Strange but true, You've Been Framed (early 90s, presented by Jeremy Beadle in vision), The Sooty Show, Bernard's Watch, Art Attack, CITV's own version of strange but true but was presented by Neil Buchanan, Gail Porter et al. and many other programmes.

See? The 90s had much better programming than the nougties because most of it was cranked out by the ITV regions who were competing against each other to see who can get the most audience and back then quality always came before profit.

I remember the children's programme Bimble's bucket quite well. I think it was an Anglia/Cosgrove Halls production.

WAsn't Bimble's Bucket a sequel to The Dreamstone?

Can't remember, sorry. Bimble's bucket was a strange cartoon about about a beaver/squirrel creature who kept a bucket with a tiny creature inside it who wore acorns as its clothes and IIRC they had to protect themselves from some pink trolls and a witch. But it was definitely made by Anglia/Cosgrove Hall.
