TV shows you loved when you were a kid

I feel as though I grew up during a golden age for children's TV. With the way TV watched and how production of things like animated shows has changed it feels like the late 80s and early 90s was a brilliant time to be a kid! I can't be bothered listing the dozens of shows that I would watch almost daily but the fact is, does this generation do what I did and get up really, really early on a Saturday morning to watch all the of the kids shows? Or rush home from school to sit in front of the TV for a couple of hours until the 6 o'clock news came on? TV watching in the 90s involved a great deal of planning and a huge amount of dedication, missing any shows was devastating knowing that there was little chance of getting to see what you had missed.

One for those of us of a certain age. However, telly only started during the English summer hols in those days and it was a real fest of stuff like Robinson Crusoe, Casey Jones, White Horses, Belle & Sebastian, the Flashing Blade, the Aeronauts and Pink Panther cartoons.

The thing about the shows coinciding with the English school holidays is that I never got to see Crusoe getting off the damned island.

Aye, but I'll bet you can't say 'baobob tree' and not think of it. ;)
