You actually mean:

Gabriel the toad
Madelaine the ragdoll
Professor Yaffle the woodpecker
Emily was the little girl who owned the shop
Bagpuss was a fat soggy cat (as we all know)
And the mice and organ

Roobarb and Custard

John Noakes (both Blue Peter and Go with Noakes)

Charlies Angels (well I was a sea of raging hormones!)

Morph lives!! Along with Chas! My kids were watching Smart a couple of days ago and there he was in his original form.

Fantastic!!

ah ......John Noakes what a top bloke he was....

plus that lovely lady from magpie

[father ted]

god ..i used to love that woman (not the one in the perm....that was Mick somebody....)

John Cole never appeared on News at Ten. He was a BBC man through and through.

Was not Derek Faulds Basil Brush's first "straight man"?
Later Irish comic Billy Boyle took on the job.

Frank Cannon
Joe Mannix
McCloud

I liked those 1970s American cop shows.

Aah - "Magpie", although I preferred Susan Stranks myself.

Mick Robertson was the Marc Bolan look-a-like. He actually got a song into the charts in 1975 - "Two to Tango".

Isn't the bird Jenny Hanley? Or have I got that totally wrong?

[Eric Mc]

Yep - Jenny Hanley (daughter of "Genevieve" star, Dinah Sheridan).
