Default Kids' TV back in the day
So the final episode of Grange Hill aired after a thirty year run! It got me thinking about kids' TV back then and I remember classics like Dangermouse.

Anyone have any fond memories - or real stinkers?!

Yes, and you already know that. Any specific reason for this reply?

Oh Lord, I'd forgotten about Potty Time! What was the show that had Cathy (don't know her real name) from Eastenders wearing something that appeared to be a Hawaiian outfit? I think it was some kind of kiddie game show.

Does anyone remember when LWT went on strike in the late 80's so they had to show re-runs of Batman and Laverne & Shirley from 8 - 9am? I was late for work every day.

Does anyone remember the show 'Survivors' where a plague took everyone out in Britain apart from a few people? Frightening.
