Don't remember that at all. Looks similar to Heman, which I do remember.

We were reminiscing about 70s TV on our ride this morning.

No, don't remember that either. I'm 41 so would have been in prime years to watch that too.

It was all about Thundercats, He-Man, The Racoons, and of course Bucky O'Hare!

I don't remember it from the first opening sequence there especially but the second one certainly.

Always thought it was a bit rubbish to be honest. Spell casting B O R I N G

Yep certainly remember it but don't remember if I liked it or not. I was mostly into cartoons but watched the odd live action series, the ones that were on towards the end of cbbc late afternoons. Not your Grange Hills etc, more the 1 or 2 series stories of which I do not remember any of the names apart from The Box of Delights. At the time I thought it was amazing, now, it hasn't aged well. I watched far too much TV then and still was outside loads, no idea how I had the time to do it all as I wasn't allowed to stay up late 😂

Remember Knightmare. Quite ahead of its time with augmented reality. Love the music for the original opening scene.

Better than the Clangers? Yea right. With an honourable mention to Scooby-Doo.

The Adventure Game was a little similar too.

Watched it but wasn’t really a favourite of mine. Weirdly I loved the Crystal Maze which is a similar premise.

Definitely swerved this I’m afraid. Super excited by the concept, but felt it didn’t meet expectations.

One of my favourite shows as an 80's kid and was ahead of its time, really unique. Think it was on itv around 5pm, just before my tea.
