A selection of puppet and live action kids television programme introductions and clips from the 1980's shown in the U.K. For all you 80's kids. Hope you enjoy!
I really wish they’d create a cable or satellite channel that would contain a full days TV from the 80’s, with morning kids TV like Swap Shop, or Tiswas, or possibly Number 73 and Grand Stand, the Wrestling with Big Daddy, maybe Dr Who, Generation Game, all the classics, that would be incredible.
I agree with ya love finding them all on youtube amazes me how old we was like 2 years old watching tv in school rather than poxy writen work good old days
Can't believe it. I'm 50 years old, and seeing Rod and Emu get into it, with Emu trying to resist the bathtub with all his strength and Rod trying to get him in there; it had me belly laughing so loud. No wonder I loved their performances when I was so young. I honestly thought it would be a bit 'tacky' seeing it now, but it's hilarious and totally believable. I shouldn't be surprised; puppetry and ventriloquism and similar arts are pretty old skills and are a joy to watch when perfected.
Emu and Rod Hull were amazing and I loved them on chat shows with Wogan and Parkinson etc!! Hilarious! They don’t make entertainment like we had back then when all this was on. Nothing seems to do it like our old tv shows!
CGI ruins everything. I couldn't relate to most kids shows growing up all kids had posh middle class voices. Like the little shit off T-bag , his name was T shirt. He was on every thing. Couldn't stand his voice. Jossies giants was good though
I wouldn't say it feels like yesterday although it's certainly hard to believe it's been over three decades since I was looking at the world through the eyes of a child. Watching these old shows again brings about a mixture of emotions tbh. Happiness over such a rich childhood I was fortunate to have but sadness over how much things and people have changed, and for the worse in my opinion and in many peoples.
Have you ever.. Ever felt like this..? Have strange things happen..? Are you going round the twist..? That was a quality show.. From Australia I think..
Omg - Such innocent times and always blue skys and yellow sun. Knocking round for your mates at 8am on Saturday mornings after waking up at 5.45am to watch the Saturday morning cartoons. And if no one came out go back home and watch Going Live. Miss those times. True what they say, “life is too short” 😌
Yep, pretty much my childhood in a nutshell right there. Turned out that not being on the Jim’s fix it show, was the best thing that happened to me as a youngster.
Round the Bend sadly wouldn’t last one minute in todays TV schedule. I absolutely loved it as a kid. Can’t believe we got away with it back then. Blooming brilliant show.
This took me back 🤣. I loved Metal Micky. My Great Grandmother was life long best friends with Irene Handl who played 'Granny'. She was in God knows how many films & programmes. And she was such a lovely, kind lady ❤
RIP Rod Hull, loved the 2 of them as a kid, tragic end. Much appreciation to Matthew Corbett for maintaining his fathers legendary Sooty and Sweep puppets, national institution. Super well done to Sandy Thogsvig and Bobby Davro, WOW!, from number 73 to greatness.
Hi, thanks for watching. I put this compilation together the best part of three years ago purely from memory as the shows back in the 80's really were that memorable. I would personally like to see Saturday morning TV return like "Going Live" and "Get Fresh" (fat chance) I would also like to see "Fun House" and "Knightmare"🤟📺
This is a wonderful compilation no wonder you have the views you do despite 2 not being U.K. kids shows technically. People don’t realise the hard work and dedication that goes into this type of video. You have brought back memories of happy times for so many so I just wanted to thank you on behalf of us all.😊😊😊
@@timewyrmrevelations7700 I thank you very much for your kind words! You are right it takes a lot of work to put these videos together, but I enjoy it. I know I made a mistake with Fraggle Rock using the US version instead of the UK version. I made this video purely from memory and I did not remember the differences between the versions at the time as I was only between seven and ten years old when the show aired, and I had not seen it since back in the day. These shows mean a lot to me, and I am very happy that you and so many others feel the same way! To you and all those eighties & nineties kids out there living their adult lives and remembering a simpler time in life I thank you all so much! Let's all try and keep a bit of that child alive in us as it really does make life more enjoyable!
@@harrygray999 Hi, I made this video at the start of my channel three years ago and it was a real passion project as I wanted to feature all the shows that are such a big part of my childhood in the 80's regardless of where they were produced. I can see how the video's title may be a little misleading but if it ain't broke! 260k views & counting! Thanks for watching!
This takes me back to my childhood in the 80’s in the UK and quite emotional and innocent times unlike now we’re their are problems everywhere in the world, wish I could go back 🇺🇸
I felt the same though I thing there were enough problems in the world back then (unemployment, US-USSR nuclear standoff, Operation Condor in Latin America, the Afghan War to name a few), just that as kids we didn't notice.
Im almost 50 this brings back memories, i actually got to see rod hull and emu live in 82 i was in awe as i loved him so much and he was the first famous person off tv id seen in person great days ❤
I didn't even know this until a little while back because, I grew up after the initial broadcast of the show on UK TV but had the US Fraggle Rock on VHS. So I was always more familiar with Doc.
It's only looking back that I realise just how rich my childhood was and how I owe allot of it to the creativity of the people making the kids cartoons/TV back then. When I look at the kids TV shows today, I don't see the same sense of fun/excitement/wonder there was with the shows back in the 80's. The children's TV shows today seem to be allot more mature/realistic which is kinda sad. When I look at the kids cartoons today here in the UK, they are mostly, if not all rebooted 90's IP's, some of which themselves are reboots from the 80's. The variation in cartoons today is way lower than it was back in the 80's too. This is even more significant when you consider that the cartoons back in the 80's were hand drawn and so were allot more expensive to make. The effort put in for 80's kids was quite astonishing in comparison to today really.
I was born in 83 I used to love Saturday morning TV, going live with Philip schofield was a good one...watching he man, mask, transformers, thundercats, the raccoons, saved by the bell etc lol
Thanks for this! I was born in '76, so this was basically my youth. Only three TV channels back then and still a lot better than most of whats around today. Anyone remember Kickstart? (that wouldn't be allowed on TV now) The 80's were a great time be a kid! No phones, so just be home before dark. Video games were starting to go mainstream and no Tik Tok and influencers for another 35 years. Miss those days.
I too was born in '76 and you are are right in saying less was more as the quality was high and yes I do remember kickstart. Trial bike challenge show with kids riding. Great stuff and thanks for watching!
Sooty: This clip was from one of the first programmes from the 1981 series. The puppets are the same ones that Harry Corbett used to appear with and Soo was voiced by Harry Corbett's wife and Matthew's mum, Marjorie. She was replaced part-way through the 1981 series by the younger-sounding current voice of Soo, actress Brenda Longman.
Some of these are terrifying! They're like some sort of horrific fever dream. I'm 41 and I remember watching a lot of these, but I don't remember being as creeped out by them as I am now.
It makes me happy that I brought happy memories back to you and I know what you mean about the world feeing real! These days I feel if you are of a certain age 40s to 50s you should take a step back as much as you can from the modern age and live a little retro it could just be as simple as not using the web or Wi - Fi when you can and sticking on a film from the 80s or 90s on a DVD or play a game on an old console. Thanks for watching and check out my channel if you want some more blasts from the past!
I can’t believe how emotional I feel watching some of these things I watched as a kid in the 80s,you don’t realise how good you had it back then till your get older.Nightmare,Sooty,button moon,fragile rock etc,👌
Born in 1978, I love to watch these clips for nostalgia but It is too easy for those of us who witnessed that time as innocent children to pretend the world was a better place. There are so many reasons why it was not.
Hi, in some respects I agree the world was not a great place even back in the good old 80's but it has to be said probably better than now as childhood innocents is being ruined by the internet. Although it is good for some things it has a lot to answer for!
As an 80's kid, some of these shows took me back down memory lane. To all the other 80's kids out there, which of these shows do you think ought to be brought back????
Knightmare Definitely I was on it in 86 they lied about my age my cousin was supposed to be on it but didn’t like wearing the helmet so I got stuck with it. We got to the second floor but I got eaten by a spider apparently. It literally was a nightmare to film so many things went wrong with it but today it would be so easy to do and improve. I’ve still got one of the choose your own adventure books we got as consolation prizes I’d love to see it back. I recently got a complete set of funko pop fraggles. Did you know the voice of zippy also did Dalek voices?
Had fun watching this as I’m from the US. I recognized Sandi Toksvig on the 73 show. It was fun recognizing her and she acted just like she did on QI when she was much older. Thanks for uploading!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that you are watching from the states as it always nice to have interest from people in other countries! If you are curious about more UK entertainment from the 80's and 90's please subscribe to my channel. Thanks for watching!
13:21 is a clip of the US inserts into Fraggle Rock. The UK inserts were made by TVS. Also, the extended Uncle Travelling Matt inserts were made specifically for the UK market, as the advert breaks were legislatively shorter here so TVS made additional inserts to make the programme full length.
Is it me or did they used to say on Emus world ‘There’s somebody at the door” not there’s a knock on the door?? I’m really confused by this little snipit as I’ve been saying that for years or is it a weird Mandela effect thing again!!?? Or am I just losing the plot???
I do not think you're losing the plot as I remember this myself. I think Rod Hull used to say "there's somebody at the door" on the other show he did called The Pink Windmill. Thanks for watching!
emu is still the boss!, rod hull really managed to capure the absolute randomness of what emu would do next.Slapstick comedy done absolutely brilliantly!
and co-written and co-sung by his wife Sandra Dickinson, who played Trillian in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, in which Peter also played the Dish of the Day.
Hearing the fraggle rock theme alone brings tears to my eyes - those were the days...and 3 decades later and part of me still wants to get in one of those fun house go karts.
I really wish they’d create a cable or satellite channel that would contain a full days TV from the 80’s, with morning kids TV like Swap Shop, or Tiswas, or possibly Number 73 and Grand Stand, the Wrestling with Big Daddy, maybe Dr Who, Generation Game, all the classics, that would be incredible.
I agree, although with so much on youtube, I am not sure people would watch that "one day"...but they should give it a go, for sure.
Terrahawks ftw!
Used to be the cartoon network on sky that did 80s weekends. Dont think the channel exists now tho
That's an amazing idea!
I agree with ya love finding them all on youtube amazes me how old we was like 2 years old watching tv in school rather than poxy writen work good old days
man it feels like yesterday since watching these shows. I could cry.... best days of your life, but you don't even know it until it's all gone.
I'm glad that the compilation moved you. Thanks for watching!
I grew up watching these shows. This made me smile and reminisce about the good old days, at the same time I feel sad...these day’s are gone now
@@gosalh exactly the same emotions
Bro im soo sad i cant go bk to them days all we can do is try to tell and show our kids what we watch
@@gosalh i feel you
Can't believe it. I'm 50 years old, and seeing Rod and Emu get into it, with Emu trying to resist the bathtub with all his strength and Rod trying to get him in there; it had me belly laughing so loud. No wonder I loved their performances when I was so young. I honestly thought it would be a bit 'tacky' seeing it now, but it's hilarious and totally believable. I shouldn't be surprised; puppetry and ventriloquism and similar arts are pretty old skills and are a joy to watch when perfected.
Emu and Rod Hull were amazing and I loved them on chat shows with Wogan and Parkinson etc!! Hilarious! They don’t make entertainment like we had back then when all this was on. Nothing seems to do it like our old tv shows!
It's still a work of genius.
CGI ruins everything.
I couldn't relate to most kids shows growing up all kids had posh middle class voices. Like the little shit off T-bag , his name was T shirt. He was on every thing. Couldn't stand his voice.
Jossies giants was good though
It’s so funny. I kept replaying it 😂
I’m 48, I was the same! When he started shaking as he was about to be put in 😂 and then grabbing the bathtub and flipping it 😂
So well done!
I wouldn't say it feels like yesterday although it's certainly hard to believe it's been over three decades since I was looking at the world through the eyes of a child.

Its degenerate times out there for sure sir. We took morality and some level of stability for granted. Now we live in the devils playground
I feel the same
Have you ever..
Ever felt like this..?
Have strange things happen..?
Are you going round the twist..?
That was a quality show.. From Australia I think..
Miss the 80's ☹️

Hi Maidwell , how is Cornwall?
Know how you feel. I hate being a grown up.
Yep, pretty much my childhood in a nutshell right there. Turned out that not being on the Jim’s fix it show, was the best thing that happened to me as a youngster.

She was in God knows how many films & programmes.
And she was such a lovely, kind lady ❤

He should've left emu to hold the ladder instead of them both going on the roof to fix that ariel.
RIP rod
@@grindelston5968 just like emu rod couldn't fly
He and Emu did not get on near the end, so much so Emu did not even attend Rods funeral.
Richard Cadel bought the rights to Sooty from Matthew years back and does a great job, a worthy owner.
Knightmare ...well ahead of its time. Had it on spectrum...awesome

My god, I haven't thought about Michaela Strachan for a long time. I'll need to have a good long think about her later.
button moon....jesus that brings ye right back...so basic but so good
Unrepentantly basic - but real quality somehow. Seeing it again was a shot of concentrated nostalgia right to the vein
Every so often I look up these old TV programs.....and get sad but happy memories. Time goes soooooo fast :/
Tell me about it! The last twenty years seem to have just wizzed by let alone way back to the 80's! The 1980's/ early 90's childhood ahhh bliss!

Michaela Strachan interviewing Jim Henson is the interview I didn't know that I needed to see. Lovely stuff!
Born in 1979, these were my childhood, life was a lot simpler,we seem to live through all the big changes in lifestyle and technology etc..
This is the stuff my dad used to watch and he showed me some of them when I was young especially button moon and fraggle rock
Cool
Lol
Ooh, Fraggle rock!
@@gaz3 It's funny. I had a black and white tv so long it felt like I could actually tell what colour things were supposed to be
I'd completely forgotten about button moon lol 😭🤣 I was 4 when it first aired lol
I used to watch Chock a Block as a very tiny child, and it had vanished from my memory until I saw it on You Tube some 35 years later
Wow! I loved Chokablock as a 4 year old…and now I’m an IT technician, just like the chokabloke!
Met grot bags many times at my local sainsbury store, she would always stop and chat and was a part of my childhood, bless her.

Oh my days.... I'm reliving my childhood.. whilst drinking rum... and loving it. Thanks man.
I was born in 1981 I remember these as a little kid reminds me of my nan
I was born in 1981 too. Talk about nostalgia!
NO 73 Andy Fletcher from Depeche Mode..Rip Fletch
This is bringing back a lot of happy memories from my childhood
The American Fraggle Rock was shown. In the U.K. version it was a lighthouse keeper played by Fulton Mackay.
I didn't even know this until a little while back because, I grew up after the initial broadcast of the show on UK TV but had the US Fraggle Rock on VHS. So I was always more familiar with Doc.
The original TVS tapes of the UK version are now missing sadly
and then with Simon Obrien (Damon from Brookside) who was not as kindly to Sprocket as Fulton was from memory
Also, Fraggle Rock is the name of the lighthouse down in Cornwall near St Mawes and Falmouth.
I could of watched a full episode of every one of these, so much nostalgia
Knightmare was amazing as a kid
It's only looking back that I realise just how rich my childhood was and how I owe allot of it to the creativity of the people making the kids cartoons/TV back then.

Is it me or did they used to say on Emus world ‘There’s somebody at the door” not there’s a knock on the door?? I’m really confused by this little snipit as I’ve been saying that for years or is it a weird Mandela effect thing again!!?? Or am I just losing the plot???
I do not think you're losing the plot as I remember this myself. I think Rod Hull used to say "there's somebody at the door" on the other show he did called The Pink Windmill. Thanks for watching!
great upload! Thanks
Out of all of these is was lovely to see the Jim Henson interview on wacaday.
Wearing without question, the worst shirt and tie since Adam and Eve.
Button moon, as sung by the 5th Doctor, Peter Davison and his wife.
Michaela Strachan - something for the dads. You just would, wouldn't you?
I still find Emu absolutely hilarious! I'm 53.
emu is still the boss!, rod hull really managed to capure the absolute randomness of what emu would do next.Slapstick comedy done absolutely brilliantly!
Rod Hull was extremely talented
Fuck me those terrahawks shit me up lol 😂
Michaela Strachan 😍😍
OMG I laughed so hard at Rod Hull getting Emu into the bath!
haha, you get exactly the same emotions when trying to give a cat a bath😁😁
that quivering fear turning into complete psychosis is just priceless!
@@bigmacntings7451 who on earth gives a cat a bath (other than people who have animal cruelty issues)
I still cant get over the theme for button moon was written and sung by Peter Davidson the 5th Doctor Who :)
Me too. I had no idea.
Really wow i never knew that
and co-written and co-sung by his wife Sandra Dickinson, who played Trillian in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, in which Peter also played the Dish of the Day.
Love it 😀
I remember rainbow, knightmare, fun house,wac day and last but not least the best of the best FRAGGLE ROCK yeahhhhh
Hearing the fraggle rock theme alone brings tears to my eyes - those were the days...and 3 decades later and part of me still wants to get in one of those fun house go karts.
I still own a button moon vhs tape, my eldest son loved it soooo much.
Pat Sharp's mullet though...
I'd completely forgotten about button moon lool 😭😭🤣🤣 I was 4 years old when that first aired lol
ALF in the States was shown in prime time, an adult show.
