Does anyone remember this?

What I’ve learned today is that many of the things I enjoyed as a child were written by Mark Haddon. I had no idea!

Also a big shout out to an unappreciated gem (cause we were all too old to watch CBBC at that point) Jeopardy

e: Holy shit Lloyd :heart_eyes:

I don’t see a poll for Through the Dragon’s Eye yet

Also another time :slight_smile: it’s too late for more polls in this thread anyway, they won’t get any votes

I liked bug juice

Loved Ace of Wands. Which shit parents up because it was satanic.

And the original Tomorrow People

The Girl From Tomorrow and Dark Season were two big favourites of mine, both amazing.

I enjoyed Galloping Galaxies and Rent-a-Ghost a lot.

Can we do Roger and the Rottentrolls? Best TV show ever, forget the Wire etc.

Dr Strange is just an inferior remake of Bernard’s Watch

Who remembers Chocky?

How many votes should a show need to get to be featured in the league table?

  • 10
  • 15
  • 20+

0 voters

Can’t decide, 10 seems kinda low. But then niche stuff is alright innit. Who knows.

we’ll go with 15 then (y)

Alright, we will actually go with the majority on this, 20 votes and you get a place on the league table.

Some decent showings but it’s clear that nothing has the heart of DiS like Wallace and Gromit does.

This thread has been great. Loved a lot of these shows as a kid. Reminded me that I drunkenly met someone who was in The Demon Headmaster at a kerrang weekender at pontins (a kind of greebo ATP) and was starstruck then tried to chat her up. It did not go well. Never meet and then try to seduce your heroes.

I’m sure there was a fantasy series on around the same time, I want to say it was Ghormenghast but it definitely wasn’t. Very dark opening sequence with figures silhouetted in against red. Any ideas?
