Posted: 10/27/2008 9:27:09 AM | The Wacky Races (bloody hell were they wacky or what) just has to be the wackiest cartoon since cartoons were invented. Poor ol****Dastardly never won even though he did have the fastest car (why he resorted to cheating has eluded me even to this day) Mind you he didn't have much luck in Catch the Pidgen either where Clunk was my all time hero (what did he say).
Rentaghost, now what a programme that was, mind you I didn't know ghosts could set up an agency like that. An all time classic along with SwapShop, Saturday morning heaven where I did actually swop my cluedo for a meccano set (ebay has got nothing to compere)
Now I could go on and on like We are the Champions, Inch Eye Private Eye, Hong Kong Phoey, Why dont you.......C'mon when you were a kid name the children's programmes that you thought were great.
Must bring back some happy memories for you all. | |

What aboutWillow the Wisp? Mavis Cruet and Edna(?) the television witch?

Mister Ben was always a favourite though, how did the shopkeeper keep appearing?
