We didn't have a TV until I was 9, so I missed out on Bill & Ben etc. Magic Roundabout was quite a cult thing when I was in my teens - and I caught up with Sesame Street, Mr Benn, Pigeon Street etc when my kids were young.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Yup, I remember Listen with Mother. I wonder if anyone actually did Listen/Watch with Mother. Surely the point of these programmes was to give Mother a bit of peace?
I still remember the shock of discovering Andy Pandy was a boy and not a girl. I think the flouncy romper suit confused me.
I once went to a fancy dress party as Andy Pandy. The perfect party outfit! Eat what you like - no squeezing into uncomfortable clothes. I tho l our Cxxxxxxxs dinner will be fancy dress this year

I didn't like rag tag and bobtail. Bill and Ben were my favourites. Maybe that's what sparked my interest in gardening
Yes, except Thursdays when rag tag and bobtail was on.

When daughter was tiny and Zebedee said "time for bed". . . it was.
Any oldies remember ' Listen with Mother'?
My daughter loved Spot and Rosie and Jim.
She refused to watch Sesame Street as she was terrified of what she called 'The Scary Elephant'.
I always thought Pob,that thing with pink stripes, was a bit creepy.
Joyce, I remember "Listen with Mother".
"Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin..."

My favourite programme was Thunderbirds.
