Anne, it was Just William. My all time favourite was CATWEAZEL the wizard from the middle ages transported into modern times. The frog/toad he had as a companion was called Touchwood or Touchstone. Viv.

Who remembers the programme where the little girl used to say "I'll scweam and scweam and scweam until I'm sick". Was it Bonnie Langford who played her? And what was it called?It's Driving me nuts trying to remember.

Terri, Hunk in Follyfoot was ?Ross? Dora was played by Gillian? Arthur English also starred. I loved it and watched every episode and sang about the lightning tree! I have the paperback book of the story with info about the series and cast but it is packed away at the moment. I'm sooooo sad!!! Viv.

I watched all of the ones you all said especially Grange Hill. I remember I used to come home from school and go straight to our black and white set. and watch till tea time. One day I came in sat in front and watched for ages it wasnt till later that mum told me havnt you noticed your watching a new colour telly. I couldnt believe it. Later on in my teenage years I used to love Starsky and Hutch, The Proffesionals. Dukes of Hazzard and Petrocheli. I switched on a sky channel the other day and they had Petrocheli but it just wasnt the same. Kids programmes today are rubbish apart from Rugrats I love em.
