Yes, The Clangers are coming back :whoo:

What childhood programmes no longer shown that you remember fondly would you like to see make a comeback?

I think you would look much, much better in a space helmet.
Preferably with a heavily tinted visor

It'll be CGI - and if the current Thunderbirds and Thomas the Tank Engine CGI efforts are anything to go by then be afraid ...

Tales of the Riverbank - and not the 1970s reincarnation - was my favourite. And then I discovered Champion the Wonder Horse. Of Gerry Anderson creations - yes Thunderbirds - but Stingray was ace and Captain Scarlet quite scarily exciting

Pigeon Street and Button Moon. The moomins used to freak me out as a kid. So that one is a big no no.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Pugwall
Raccoons
Round the twist
City of gold
Sabrina

Hurrah - my fears are unfounded - knitted clangers and stop go motion.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Muffin the Mule....

Another vote for Fireball XL5. And the early 60's version of Tales from the River Bank.... oh the memories come flooding back. Bill and Ben, the flower pot men. The Wooden Tops, with "the biggest spottiest dog." Noggin the Nog. Captain Pugwash... a long visit to Youtube is in order.

Been shot using 'stop frame' animation...


Sadly 'digitally' not on the 'real deal' [film]....

 

[MegaSteve]

Anything from Gerry Anderson... Man was a genius....

 

[Crazyface]

Magic Roundabout. If you get the chance watch it again. The dog cracks me up!!!!!
Very very funny !!!!

Given the roll-call of greats you give above, you'll probably remember my first memory of TV - Rag, Tag and Bobtail
