My favourites were:

• Trapdoor

• Rude dog & the dweebs
  
• The Racoons
  
• Superted
  
• Jimbo
  
• Duckula
  
• Bertha
  
• Simon and the witch

Kids are so deprived these days, any links for Maxies World would definately be appreciated, to prove it actually existed!!!

I loved the Raggy Dolls too, and the moomins. I sooooo wanted to be Melanie or Martine!

Note not 1 answer for flaming Blue Peter. No-one I've ever met like Blue Peter, but it always seems to get to the top of the 100 Best lists

During the 70's you had to be either a 'Magpie' fan or a 'Blue Peter' fan. I was a Magpie fan but unfortunately my mother wanted me to watch the 'more educational' BP :o(

Likewise, I had to watch TISWAS when my mum went out to the kitchen ~ in between times I had to put up with 'Multi-coloured Swap Shop'

Just joined, so a bit late replying! Feel like I have gone back in a time warp! Cheered me up no end!

The best: Jamie and the Magic Torch, Chorlton and the Wheelies, Pigeon Street, Mr Ben, Take Hart, Dangermouse, Terrahawks, Jonny Briggs, Itsy and Bitsy (I know the guy who created them!)

Automan- early computer generated hero who glowed like the Ready-Brek kids?

Oh, forgot Bananaman! And Captain Pugwash, Rentaghost etc.
