Originally posted by GJB I'm sure that at some point in my life I saw a show called "The Red Hand Gang" about a kid getting kidnapped and loads of other kids solving the crime.

GJB The only thing I remember was the little coloured kid with glasses and bright yellow shorts and the theme tune: "Lah la lah.... la lar luh...... Luh la, luh, luh, luh, luh." I know that doesn't help but it's in my head right now and will be for days. Thanks :mad: :D :D |
Originally posted by Jabba1 It starred Simon MacCorkindale, Melody Anderson and Michael D Roberts. As I recall, the Music was composed by Alan Silvestri, the same composer who later did the music for Forrest Gump. The series revolved around Dr. Jonathan Chase, a millionaire playboy with the ability to transform into any animal he wishes. Don't ask how he manages this feat, it was never clearly explained. The series was marred by pre-digital SFX. Chase was supposedly able to turn into any animal at all, but he only ever turned into a black panther. This was probably due to a limited SFX budget, and no computer technology available back then. This series would have been much better if it had been done a decade later with the latest technology to enhance Chase's animal transformations. http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Vault/5146/manimal.html Apparently he inherited his powers from his father! |

Getting away from the Saturday morning shows here, but does anyone else remember some of the old school shows. I used to love the serials on Look & Read, especially The Boy From Space , and Dark Towers .

Oh man I used to love them. :D
There was one I watched before the boy from space I think - something to do with peregrine falcons and their eggs. We had a TV room in our school and we'd all trail up there to sit on the brown carpet with the curtains closed. Brilliant it was. Here - got a link to all the Look and Read Stories. Look and Read |

Look & Read, especially The Boy From Space I used to love the transporter things in that show. The whole thing was cool and weird. We had a TV room in our school and we'd all trail up there to sit on the brown carpet with the curtains closed. We used to watch Stop, Look and Listen which was narrated by Chris Tarant. |
Originally posted by Rockgurl Does anyone remember Monkey? It was a surreal Japanese programme about a Monkey man, a Dalai Llama type figure called Tripitaka, and Pigsy. I absolutely loved that show! I also loved Hong Kong Phooey, Top Cat and The Persuaders. I used to rush home from Sunday school to watch the Persuaders. Bloody marvellous it was. Loved that show. The story is based on the parable of Budhas journey across china's i understand it. It was great. I always loved the little commentary at the end when we got that As Buddha say..... A few years back the BBc got the british voice over guy from monkey to do commentary in that style on the world cup in japan. very funny. |
Originally posted by lairdside Oh, I miss "Give My Head Peace" and "The Fast Show". 'which was nice!' |
Originally posted by rincewind We did the same thing. Do you remember the clocks on the screen that used to count down before the show started? http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/tv/testcards/ I think Princess of Wales or NC Penguin posted this link a few months ago but it's such a fun site I thought I'd post it again. |
Couldn't be arsed to read all the other pages but thought I'd wade in with....
The Red Hand Gang (with James Bond Jr III) and.... The Adventure Game (doogy rev!). Aspidistras have never looked the same to me since. Cheers, David. |
TISWAS
Originally posted by rincewind Lenny Henry and his Trevor McDonut :D Do you remember the adult spin-off, O.T.T.?? It was basically an adults version of Tiswas. This was only shown late at night with adult cartoons to allow Dad's to stare at Sally James' breasts :D |
Saturday morning shows I enjoyed include a cartoon version of the Jackson Five (should I be saying that?), the Harlem Globetrotters, and, not strictly Saturday morning, the Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, which was a black and white Anglo-French series, I loved the theme tune!
