Remember the good old days of Why Don't You?, Waccadays and Fraggle Rock? Ah long sweet holidays of my youth....

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

Fraggle Rock rocks

also did love Stingray and Captain Scarlet - Captain Black was sooo cool

Blasted childhood in America. Never even heard of most of these program(me)s. Now I've nothing to add to a post entitled "Knickers!" Story of my life. Anyone know where I can get a tape of Smack the Pony?"

Hey, we had Fraggle Rock here in the US! I just remember it was set in a cave, they all had maribou feather hair and didn't some of them wear hard hats? But it might have been on cable tv, so I'm not sure EVERYONE would get it.

Bought the Guide to Cult Childen's Television last year, from bookshop in UK. Marvellous reference guide and useful for solving arguments (it was Hugh, Pugh etc). Always loved Trumpton, Chigley, Camberwick Green.

They were made in the mid/late Sixties and although most of the stories are in a delightful fantasy of English country life, one story is surprisingly pertinent today. The Farmer mass-produces his eggs but finds he can't sell them locally. The locals are buying their eggs from Windy Miller, who runs the windmill and keeps a few chickens. Windy's hens are free-ranging, so his eggs taste better. The Farmer manages to sell his eggs in town, as townfolk can't tell the difference, and it's a happy ending.
Draw your own conclusions....

You may need a mirror, though.
