    Supergran

    Catweasel

    Forty Coats

    The cartoon on Dempsey's Den that took place inside the human body with platelets fighting platelets etc - brill.

    Rainbow Brite

    Back when H&A was fledgling, I was addicted and when my parents took us to Kerry on holidays, I would bawl if they didn't find a pub that would show home and away each night, gas (gas now that is, feel sorry for my poor parents back then!)

    Narnia

    That series where there was the servant girl and a rich man next door adopts her at the end (not Annie!)- English series. Can't think of the name.

    Horror films that I cant seem to get now:

    Lady in White
    Grandmother's House
    Child of Glass (oh the shivers even now thinking of it) - googled it a while back and it was bloody disney movie !!! Still creeps me out.

    I loved that human body show- "once upon a time...life" it was called. Think it was french. I remember one which i think was called Labyrinth, had kids on the run from some evil witch in an underground cave. Lots of rubber boulders everywhere!

    I used to hide under the table when Supergran came on. :( I managed to locate the Narnia tape from years ago (came in 2 parts but looked like it was split up into a few episodes).

    .

    I think it was 'a little princess' about the girl who had to move to the orphanage from India.

    Streaks on the china,
    never mattered before,
    who cares.

    When you dropped kicked your jacket
    As you came through the door,
    No one glared.

    But sometimes things get turned around
    And no one’s spared.

    All hands look out below
    There’s a change in the status quo.
    Gonna need all the help that we can get.

    According to our new arrival
    Life is more than mere survival
    We just might live the good life yet.



    there you go, you're not the only one.

    Youre right! Her father was a soldier presumed Dead, but it wasn't an orphanage. She was in a private school, but when the money stopped coming in, the head mistress made her a servant girl, and she slept in the attic where the Indian butler to the rich man next door would talk to her at night. He had a monkey he'd let her play with.

    Looks like Paddy's Day of '95 had bad weather (can't even remember it myself!)

    Max_Damage, you're obviously only a youngster who was born in the second half of the 80s (early 90s even :eek: :(). 1995 is nowhere near retro enough. But it's still interesting viewing anyway. Thanks a mil :)

    Great stuff being mentioned here. I ADORED A Little Princess.
