The other week I engaged in a conversation which brought back a flood of memories.  The conversation started with me and a friend in that all too well known situation of sitting and watching the telly but being too lazy to turn the channel having of course lost the control (which I later found I was sitting on). 

After a great viewing of ‘Sponge Bob Square Pants’ we were faced with some very lame children’s programs.  The topic which inevitably followed was a comparison of today’s children’s telly against the stuff we remembered back from our childhood.  Of course the stuff we remembered was far better with some brilliant programs we that we managed to recollect. 
Favourite 5 were:
Fraggle Rock
Trap Door
Danger Mouse
Thundercats
Gummy Bears

This then brought us onto the best characters from these programs.
Penfold- Danger Mouse
Morph- Hart Beat
Odie- Garfield
Snarf- Thundercats
Gorden Gopher- Childrens BBC

I believe that’s a pretty good list but I got to say I’m pretty sure I’ve forgotten some good other ones (like Roland Rat that has just sprung to mind!).  Feel free to add to the list and help prove things were better ‘back in t’day’.
