N Lincs Jambo Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Anyone remember The Changes? 70s kids series, where something made everyone (bar a few) turn against machines, destroying them? Just discovered and read through this whole thread - some cracking memories including the Changes from about 1975? Opening scenes were of electricity pylons iirc? Anyone remember the cartoon Deputy Dawg? Used to like it as a kid but looking back now it was just totally racist Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambothump Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I don't, but thanks for reminding me of this fine chap! Could never ever stand him or his ever so twee sister Molly, the fore runners to that other faux Scots person Neil Oliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambothump Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Used to watch Daktari and Tarzan, the one starring Ron Ely as Tarzan and the wee boy Jai. That had the cross eyed lion, Clarence ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joondalupjambo Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Not only heavily dubbed but terribly dubbed. Ive a few days off just now. Ill have to dig it out. Talking about dubbed TV shows. What about that Robinson Crusoe series originally from the 60's, French effort but with an amazing background track. It was re-run numerous times right up until the 80's.

@VladMagic Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 There was a great American TV show called "Tales of the Golden Monkey" in the early 80's. All about a pilot of a boat plane and his adventures. Sure he had a wee one eyed dug that ran about with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife says she recalls the dog was called Jack. She also thinks it was a Jack Russell but that's maybe taking it a wee bit too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Sidious Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Great thread folks. Kid in the 80s, I remember going to my Gran's for lunch when at Primary School and waiting for Rainbow, Lets Pretend, Puddle Lane or Cockleshell Bay to start. Before the kids show though there was a gardening show. I am sure it was called Gardening Time. To this day, I still catch myself humming the theme tune. I can remember the host having real thick rimmed glasses. Playing kerby and marbles along pavements. Could never do that now with all the cars. Think my kids think I am weird when I tell them what I did when I was younger. My yesteryear musings: Choc-a-Bloc (BBC Schools), Badger Girl, Choccy, Pigeon Street, You and Me, Lost in Space, Rocketeer (Black and White serial), Adventure Game, He Man and Transformers Gen 1.
