Speaking of Fun House, at school we always believed that Pat Sharpe was banging the twins. I'll bet that f***ing mullet was a chick magnet Melanie and Martina, every young boy's twin crush *sigh* Loved Fun House, always wanted to go on it just to drive the fun karts Neil Buchanan had the monopoly on CITV programming back in the day though, with Art Attack, Finders Keepers, Motormouth and It's A Mystery as well as being the character Smart Arty in Zzzap! On a side note, looking through the list of every show CITV have shown, I was amazed at the fact that it showed every iteration of MOTU from the original Filmation series and She-Ra to New Adventures and the 2002 reboot. They have also shown 3 iterations of TMNT, 2003, 2012 and Next Mutation (OG was on BBC, Rise is on 5), every Power Rangers series and it's spin off/rip offs, the Disney Afternoon shows and various versions of Batman, Superman and Scooby Doo I'm pretty sure TMNT 2012 aired exclusively on Channel 5. TMNT '87 and Next Mutation aired on BBC. TMNT 2003 was definitely all ITV (and it aired on Fox Kids/Jetix over on Satellite/Digital) Power Rangers was briefly shown on Channel 5 also after Saban bought the rights back in 2011, but that soon stopped and it became exclusive to freeview channel POP!

Was Dappledown Farm on CITV? Can't quite recall now.
Oh, while we're on the subject, anyone remember a show about a villain that turned people into knitted dolls? He looked like Death from Bill & Ted's Bogus Adventure and he had a rival who was an old woman who beat him up while she sang a musical number.

Thank you.

Of all the remakes of TV shows, why has no one re-made Knightmare?!

Dappledown Farm aired in the mornings on TV-AM, and reruns wound up on Channel 5 when that first launched.

I fell down a round the bend rabbit hole this weekend. most of it is on YouTube, that show was so god dam good when I was a kid, the cartoons are still funny now, Thunderpants, Wee man and the masters of the looniverse awesome stuff.
whilst i'm here, can anyone remember the name of a show, i'm pretty sure it was on CBBC, it was live action, and basically it was about a kid who was Happy, he makes a deal with a man who is lucky to swap, so he becomes lucky and the man becomes happy, its suppose to be for a day but the man goes back on the deal and the kid has to hunt him down and get his happiness back. I think it was Australian. this is doing my head in now.

Honestly, I've long held the opinion that with technology as it is and the popularity of shows such as GoT, now would be a perfect time for a remake. I would also completely aim it at adults (our generation that grew up with the show, in particular) possibly even making it a little bit risque-y in parts. Knightmare always had a sense of humour, for how terrifying it could be as a child, and I genuinely believe such a remake would prove popular. And regarding the live show, I keep waiting for it to show up at a time and place when I'm able to go. It sounds brilliant, and I know they've had the odd-cameo from the likes of Hugo Myatt.

So many memories of CITV!
I discovered Pokemon thanks to it.
I also loed ZZZap, Whizziwig, Art Attack, It's a Mystery and Bernard's Watch. Really wish there was a way to watch all of them again. There's only so much you can find on YouTube.

growing up I used to like Rolf's Cartoon Club
of course that has all been tainted now. I think I used to watch it more for the cartoons anyway
