Was just talking to a mate of mine 'bout raggydolls the other day. Maybe someone can answer a question - who can remember the name of the fat orange guy on the right ?
We cant agree on it - I think it was something like "Ballzack", "Baldsack" or "Ballsack". Can anyone help with this ??

I absolutely loved the "Raggy Dolls". When I saw those pics above, it also brought back memories of "Button Moon" - does anyone else remember it? It was, ahem, a family of wooden spoons in space....

"Raggy Dolls, Raggy Dolls, dolls like you and me...."

heh. I don't remember any episodes though. Which kind of freaks me out.

Larianne

I just remember 'Backtofront'. Can't remember the names of the other dolls.

I can't remember cockel bay or whatever it was called. Might have to look that up.

Button Moon was great. I didn't know what it was untill a while back where they had the 100 best kids shows or something on channel 4 and saw it. That was on when I was really young.

Anyone remember Puddle Lane? i remember watching that after coming home from play school.

Raggy Dolls, Raggy Dolls, made imperfectly
So if you can't sneeze and have knobbly knees.....

I can't remember any episodes specifically - I can just remember the opening jingle and them all being thrown into the reject bin.

Was there a wizard in that? The name is definitely familiar.....

Larianne

Yeah, dude with beard and he would say something and then put his finger into the puddle and I dunno... a story would be told or something.

Ah yes, it's all coming back to me now....

Another one I've just remembered is "Bertha" - that jog any memories? Animation set in a factory, massive machine called Bertha what could manufacture just about anything and obviously had a mind of it's own...

BrookieD

Has pictures of Puddle Lane, Bertha and pigeon Lane. Don't remember Pigeon Lane at all, at all. Do remember Bertha vaguely. Happy Memories!!

And ya can buy the DVDs of them.

Just something that popped into my head...

Anyone remember that show with the toys? The leader was an elephant, then there was a truck, a robot, a hotwater bottle etc...
Anyone remember the name?

Very odd that none of us can remember an episode.... I've been wrecking my brain and it's driving me mad!

Nice research Larianne -- that should keep me occupied at work for the rest of the afternoon!

I'd say there's loadsa sites like that one on the net. I just googled Puddle Lane and found it.

Trap Door...that's another one. I think it was the theme tune that made me like that. It was only on for I'd say 5 minutes!

Oh yeah, I loved Trap Door. "Berk - feed me"!

Anyone remember another kiddies programme that was set in a windmill? It had Postman Pat style characters.... Probably named something obvious like "The Windmill" ???

And BrookieD, thanks for the link to Pigeon Street - turns out I DO remember it -- just didn't realise what it was called....!

Larianne

I'll have a look for that Windmill thingy your on about but I can't remember it. (postman pat maker's were certainly making a few telly programmes!)

Here's the list of Channel 4's 100 Greatest Kids shows.

Will definitely have a proper look after work!!
