Who remembers.....

Ulysses, a sci-fi cartoon re-telling of The Odyssey, with the theme tune notable for the "Ulysee-ee-ee-ee-ees" chorus.

The robot was No-no

Long Distance Clara... why, she could drive right across the Sahara!

It was a song they seemed to sing in every episode of Pigeon Street, one that seems to pop into my head every now and again. I can't tell you how thankful I was when an old friend from school said he'd never forget it either.

I also have a vivid memory of one episode of "James the cat" when James was being rather rude and actually farted at the end. Strange I can not remember any other episode of it before or after that magical one. 🙄

But at night, it;s his delight, la-la-la-la-la-la, lalalaaaa... to go dancing... dancing... dancing with his wife, Doreen...

Sorry, I loved Pigeon Street. It was just so pointlessly banal for a kid's programme.

I think King Rolo was made by the same people, sometimes it was difficult telling the two appart.

What about Bric-a-brac and choc-a-bloc?

They ring a bell, were they made by the same people too?

I'm a little ashamed to say this but Grange Hill scared the life outta me when I was really young. Why couldn't Zammo "just say no", just like the song said.... 🙁

Or age at all... as you may understand if you saw him on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Yeah, he looked exactly the same didn't he! 😂

I always remember the scouse kid getting grief off all the lil cockney's too, "...you what? you what? you what you what you what?...". Very funny indeed.

Bring back Tukcer!

They have burnt down Grange Hill now, I believe.

THat was great!

Lets just hope Roland was still in there then.

"You've ate too many crisps again, haven't you Roland?". 😂

roland the headless thompson gunner?

Hi, I'm the webmaster of http://www.monkeyheaven.com/

An important note about the Monkey rerun on UK terrestrial TV -

Following on from my earlier announcement:
"The Monkey rerun will take place on Channel 4 on Fridays at 12.30am from 24 January 2003."

It turns out that there's been some confusion about when Monkey wil be shown -

Monkey will *NOT* be shown on Friday nights as originally thought - it will be shown on Thursday nights, after midnight, i.e. 12.35am Friday.

So the first episode will be shown at 12.35am Friday 24th January 2003, i.e. after midnight on Thursday 23rd January 2003.

Please note that the screening slots at that time of night are very flexible, so it's very possible that the slot will change during the 13 weeks that the first 13 Monkey episodes are shown, hopefully to a more favourable timeslot.

In any case, I would recommend checking the TV guides (either online or in print) each week, to ensure you don't miss an episode because of rescheduling.

To be automatically notified whenever Channel 4 change the screening day / time for Monkey from now on, go to the "Monkey TV Guide – UK Free-to-air" page (http://www.monkeyheaven.com/tvguide_ukfreetoair.html) on my web site, and register to be notified of page updates.
You'll then receive an email whenever I update the page with any changes to the schedule.

You, Ush and I are about the same age so all those are classics in my book. Do you also remember a cartoon about this guy lost in space with a little red robot, it was called "Ullycies" or something like that. Thats so old I can hardly remember what it was about now.

My other favourite childhood programmes were: -

Danger Mouse
Duck Tales
Inspector Gadget
Count Duckula
Mr. Ben
King Rolo
Pigeon Street (Who remembers "Long distance Clara"?)

From your list I remember all of them, except for the last three.

About 'Mysterious Cities of Gold', I used to love that show but I missed the ending - so when it turned up on eBay one day I got all 15 CDs 😄

You geek! 🙄

*Whispers*

Didn't the City of Gold just turn out to be a city that looked golden cause of the sunlight? What a jip!!

Mendoza has to be the second coolest kids charatcer ever- coolest being Han Solo.

*Slaps forehead*

Thats where I've heard the name before!

I've been drinking this cheap (I think) Chilean red wine called "Mendoza" and I've had many a drunken mind grapple with the origin of the name.

Thank you Ush, tonight I can get drunk without the voices in my head.

You didn't answer my question though Raz?

Please tell me, otherwise I'll probably go buy them too!
