I used to have to run for the school bus every morning because I wouldn't leave until after Mrs Pepperpot. Also watched Bouli every morning before school.

Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

It was in English back then - no TG4 at the time.

I loved The Queen's Nose on BBC when I was a teen.

Anybody remember Small Wonder?

ONCE UPON A TIME...LIFE!!
You know the lyrics "Thats life, thats life, thats life" they were French Canadian cartoons, this one was set in the human body!
I actually feel sorry for kids today they dont have the cartoons we had, quality

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imP2MZxoM-s

Wow, genuine "I clearly remember that weird cartoon now but havent though about it in 20 odd years" moment there!

Can anyone name a programme that the Den had about a girl who travelled back in time on a motorbike? I just remember something about a one in leather on a motorbike in medieval England......!?

Ahhh Dempsey's Den, I loved it and was so sad when Ray Darcy took over but I got over it the real heart ripper was when Zig and Zag turned coats and went to BBC.

Before that
Wanderly Wagon
Forty Coats
Anything Goes
Saturday Superstore

Don't forget Worzel Gummidge and H.R. Pufnstuf - Jimmy and his magic flute .

This was a little before my time, but thanks to RTEs obsession with repeating the same shows over and over, I watched it right through my early childhood.
