The Fast Show did a great parody of The Singing Tree for their Channel 9 Spanish TV thing. "The singin n ringin n dinging n ...."
Haha i love that sketch
I was just going to put the same thing ! 😀
Dingle BONLEH built one..........🤪🤪🤪
Another forgotten gem is "The Boy Who Won The Pools". An 80s one off series, it concerns the adventures of a 16 yr old lad who scoops the maximum jackpot on the pools. A quarter of a million I think. He buys a big house, a sports car and treats his friends to a great time.
He bought a red Ferrari if I remember
So PG Tips Actors also stared in Empire Road
I have a largely forgotten series for you which I have to admit I really really liked was Dr. Terrible's House Of Horrible, A Hammer House of Horror comedy take off series with the name being a parody of "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors" the series starred Steve Coogan as the aforementioned Dr. Terrible and he appears as the main character in each of his stories, the stories while somewhat creepy are actually really funny, highly recommend, kind of like an early precursor to the much more well known "Inside No. 9".
Loving the channel and content as always my friend.
Nobody who saw the Singing Ringing Tree as a child could forget that nightmarish horror.
100%
Throwing in my two penneth...
Channel 4's TV Offal. A satirical look at past events and vintage TV that may or may not have been aired at the time. Hosted by Victor Lewis-Smith (RIP, you genius) with very 70s/80s radio inspired introductions to each section such as "Assassination Of The Week", "The Pilots That Crashed" which was about TV shows that failed to get off the ground, "Kamikaze Karaoke" in which Victor gave his own rendition of popular songs (Barry Manilow's Copa Cabana was personal favourite here) and the hundreds of hours of out-takes the production crew must have gone through to make this a very entertaining one series wonder. Even the ad breaks were bookended with very real older adverts from tv and more amusingly, cinema for local shops etc.
Ever since the advent of UA-cam etc I've been collecting mystery and very odd clips of old for my own amusement, although Victor set the bar very high indeed.
I grew up in the seventies. I know the name Singing Ringing Tree, but I don't remember watching it. Not sure if it was still being shown then, but I stand to be corrected. After all my attention span as a child wasn't the best so maybe I've blanked it. The picture quality does look really good for something that old.
Excellent: The World at War. ITV's seminal twenty six part documentary about World War two. With archive footage and interviews and powerful narration from Sir Lawrence Olivier. This was how to do a documentary. It never had any re-enactments. Growing up in those days and reading war comics, it was essential viewing for me. It has one of the three best theme tunes ever as well. [To my mind the top three are The World At War. The original arrangement of the Doctor Who Theme. And Ken Burns the civil War. Will talk about the latter another time].
Excellent and possibly a bit forgotten: Wings. Not to be confused with the US sitcom of the same name. This was a BBC one drama series that went out on thursday nights from 1977-1978 with two thirteen episode series. The story of working class man Alan Farmer, who really wants to be a pilot. He gets into the Royal Flying Corps in a squadron with upper class Charles Gaylion [Michael Cochrane] commanded by upper class Capt. Triggers. Although they all got along well despite the class divide. If memory serves. Really good solid drama. Pulled a bit of a surprise when it seemingly killed Alan off in the middle of season two. His plane was seen going down in flames. But a few episodes later he turned up being nursed back to health by some French farmers. He managed to steal a German plane and get back to allied lines.
Which reminds me of; Colditz. More excellent BBC one viewing from the 70's. Essential sunday night stuff. Based on Pat Reed's book about life in the German Prison camp. My family would play the board game escape from Colditz before watching each episode. I was always the Americans as I liked the colour of their pieces. Good times.
Some forgotten shows that I liked, all from the US;
Lady Blue (1985) - Cop drama starring Jamie Rose as a tough female police detective, and Danny Aiello as her boss. To the best of my knowledge, it's never been released on any home video format, and the only copies available on the net are poor. Only lasted one season.
She TV (1994) - Sketch comedy show with an almost all female cast. I remember them spoofing Forrest Gump, Rush Limbaugh, and Fabio. One season.
The Wizard (1986) - I can't remember if you've covered this one, but it starred little person David Rappaport as an inventor who uses his inventions to fight bad guys. Another one season show.
A mention of "Lets Pretend" has jarred a memory of another children's show broadcast around the early to mid 1980s called "Our Backyard" .
I've never forgotten the Singing Ringing Tree. Scared the holy crap out of me at the time and still does. I'm 64
TV show on Channel 4 in 1986 called 'Prospects' starring Gary Olsen and Brian Bovell. Excellent show.
This has been uploaded to UA-cam. Full episodes.
Does anyone remember The Tales of Beatrix Potter? It was, obviously, the Beatrix Potter stories told in live action in the form of ballet. I'm not sure when they were originally aired but I remember watching them as a child in the mid 70s. I remember them as being a lot of fun to watch even though it was ballet. My favourite was Jeremy Fisher.
It’s good looking at these shows because you see some actors in roles you didn’t know they did. Like in Empire Road I saw the guy who played Jeffrey in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, another excellent show by the way and a brilliant theme tune.
Also in Cluedo seeing David McCallum was a surprise and Richard Wilson. Which brings me to another excellent sitcom. Only When I Laugh, set in a hospital ward and starring James Bolam, Peter Bowles and Christopher Strauli as Roy Figgis, Archie Glover and Norman Binns respectively, three patients that never really seemed to have much wrong with themselves. It also starred Richard Wilson as Dr Thorpe and Derrick Branche as the male nurse Gupte.
I have a forgotten/underated childrens TV programme... Moondial from around 87/88, I don't remember much about it and sometimes wonder if I imagined it in a fever dream. From what I remember it had something to do with ghosts and was creepy in my 9/10 year old eyes.
I remember it. Not much more than that though. But you definitely didn't dream it
I remember it being cool and atmospheric. I think it was on UA-cam
I just watched an American couple reacting to The Streets of London by Ralph McTell and it made me remember another children’s show that McTell starred in.
The show is called Tickle On The Tum, it was based in a village shop come post office that McTell ran, they would have a “local” come in and recount a story from their week and McTell would sing a song about it.
The locals would be played by all different people, you had people like Kenny Lynch, Joan Sims, Bill Oddie, they even had Billy Connolly in a couple of them.
Obviously as it took watching something else to make me think of this it would have to be rated forgotten but from what I remember it should also be rated excellent.
I'm still getting therapy because of the Singing Ringing Tree!
I remember watching The Singing Ringing Tree 'when I were a lad'. The thing I remember most was the princess saying "Ich bin die schoene" all the time. I often say that about myself!
Babar was an excellent children's show back in the 80's or 90's. Fraggle Rock was also excellent from the 80's. I talked about this one replying to a comment before, but Gigglesnort Hotel from the 70's was downright strange and a bit terrifying. It featured a human hotel owner with puppets who stayed there. The Dragon was a complete jerknozzle and there was a big clay Blob who groaned in agony all the time because the other guests taunted it. I don't know how anyone thought this would be good for kids.
Tramadol Nights was the first show Frankie Boyle did after he quit Mock the Week, and it was meant to be Frankie Boyle uncensored, pulling no punches and crossing all possible boundaries of good taste.
And it was dreadful, utter piddle. The problem wasn't the bad taste per se; it was that every sketch was poorly written and seemed to last about 20 minutes. Also, the relentlessness of the show's bad taste doesn't shock, but ultimately bores. Thankfully, Frankie Boyle now pursues a more thoughtful form of dark humour, and has climbed far from the nadir of Tramadol Nights.
A largely forgotten show now; You and Me. It ran during BBC’s schools programmes from the ‘70s to the ‘90s, but it’s the ‘80s shows I’m most familiar with, that had the puppets Cosmo and Dibs as the main characters and a UB40 theme song. I’m not sure what exactly Cosmo and Dibs were - lions? bears? dogs?, but they were always good fun when the “big telly” was wheeled into the classroom and we got a few minutes of an educational programme that didn’t seem to be one. It was set on a market stall, allowing Cosmo and Dibs to have many human friends visit them. Though what exactly their market stall sold, I don’t know - that seemed to change with every episode. There were also other parts of the show, such as bits of film introducing the audience to different aspects of daily life. I suppose it was a bit like a British Sesame Street. As a kid I’d have put it in the Excellent category.
Ah..... The Big Telly!
Forgotten: How about “The Phoenix and the Carpet” children’s show from the mid 1970’s. I don’t have much recall about the storylines but it was set in Victorian/Edwardian times and featured a phoenix arising from the flames of the parlour fireplace. Only the children knew about it of course and various adventures ensued. The talking phoenix really frightened the pants off me at the time (and still does)
Remember that. Think there was a fair amount of greenscreen in it. That's about all that comes back.
I remember that one too.
Brilliant/forgotten:
Nighty Night - Julia Davis in a very dark sitcom.
Human Remains - Julia Davis again, in a spoof, fly on the wall documentary.
Monkey Dust - late night animated series of sketches. Fantastic.
Man to Man with Dean Learner. A sort of spin off from Garth Marenghis Dark Place.
Joseph Marcell was geoffrey in the fresh prince i recognised him because of his distinctive eyes
He survived 6 years of Will Smith unslapped.
You remember 'Pob' on C4. Cant for the life of me remember what it was about. Just remember the puppet 'spitting' across the screen to draw his title card on
I think the screen was meant to be the lens of a kaleidoscope that Pob lived inside of - that’s why there were all the swirling colours over a black background behind him.
@@DKGCustom Just Michael Gove in his younger days.
Wonder Pets, a Nickelodeon preschool series, 2006-2009. Three pets, a guinea pig, a duckling, and a turtle who live in a one room schoolhouse, described as "Opera for children" the three go on adventures after the class is over and travel all over the world helping baby animals.
The worst and the most annoying kids programme
A terrible comedy show from 2013 was heading out starring and written by Sue Perkins .
Sue Perkins plays the very successful vet Sara .
Sara is lesbian and gets an ultimatum from her best friends. She either comes out to her parents in 6 weeks or they will do it for her.
I remember that. It was absolutely appalling.
Can't abide Sue Perkins.
A brilliant, forgotten show was early 1990s Channel 4’s ‘True Or False’, a kind of celebrity game show hosted by eccentric actor Steven Berkoff. Dramatised reports on weird events would be played to three celebrity guests who would decide if the stories were true or false. Memorable stories from the show included “true” stories of a werewolf taxi cab driver - a real life case of lycanthropy who was locked in a cell overnight when he “changed” - and a phantom bus witnessed by ten independent London witnesses. A “false” one was that the Queen’s cousin was a cleaner at Manchester MET university. No video clips of this show seem to exist but the BFI has a record of it. Did it exist? Is it TRUE?! Or is it FALSE?!!
Weird. My brother and I were just reminiscing about the singing ringing tree earlier today. Also Tinderbox and the Banana Splits.
I remember Film Buff Of The Year, a quiz show hosted by Robin Ray. It was like Mastermind for film fans. I wish they would bring it back, I really enjoyed it. I think Sky or some channel had something called "Mad about movies" or some such title, but it was crap ! More like a comedy than a serious quiz.
After seeing Peter Wright aka Nige from Early doors I would also like to suggest an excellent show early doors centred around the regulars of the grapes in Stockport, written by Craig Cash from the Royle Family and Phil Mealey. Absolute northern comedy gold with 2 dodgy coppers ken the landlord and some great humour including temporary traffic lights and tommy staying in his own.
Very good show
I have a good and scary children's TV show for you to mention. I would like to mention Tales from the cryptkeeper that was produced by Nelvana and aired on serveral American and Canadian television networks from 1993-1999. It was a children's version of Tales from the crypt that aired on HBO during that time. It was well known for combining horror stories with moral lessons about issues such as bullying, pollution of nature etc. I have been watching this show on UA-cam in recent years and I think it's a very good combination of horror, comedy and moral lessons. I think that it's such a shame that this version didn't last so long as the original series did. A fun fact about this show is the fact that John Kassir who did the voice of The Cryptkeeper in the original series do the voice of the same character in this version as well which I think it's very good.
Cluedo with Richard Wilson as a vicar-yes please.
Rubbish or Underrated depending on who you ask: The Starlost. A Canadian sci-fi series made in the mid 70's. Keir Dullea from 2001 was in this. Series creator Harlan Ellison was so put off by the process of just getting it made, he had his name taken off before the first episode went out. It's available on UA-cam and DVD, if you're into cheap CSO effects that haven't aged well.
There's a novel by science fiction writer Ben Bova called 'The Starcrossed' which is a slightly fictionalised version of Harlan Ellison's experience on the show. It's illuminating.
I vote for monk or psych for excellent 2 police shows Monk starred Tony Shaloub as Monk a former police officer who left the force after he lost his wife but is still a brilliant detective however he has OCD and the comes out in the show but he always gets the criminal. Psych stars James Roday and Dule Hill as Shaun and Gus. Shaun is amazing at observation but gets arrested after solving crimes he phones in and has to say he’s psychic to avoid jail and then sets up his own detective agency with gus as his sidekick helping the police. The team also sing some songs for the adverts like ebony and ivory, private eyes and don’t you forget about me. Both excellent.
Enjoyed Monk
Cluedo I used to enjoy it on TV. It was definately an interesting series.
I saw the Singing Ringing Tree at a showing in a squat cum arts centre in Leytonstone, East London, 13/14 years ago. Sadly, the squat is no more, the Singing Ringing Tree lives on. We used "pullover" down South in the 1960s, "sweater" though is a much more recent Americanism
I currently have no suggestions only praise. Another tremendous video
Well done sir
Thanks 👍👍
I thought I had imagined Pullover, as no one I know remembers it
5:15 oh what a traumatic night THAT was!!!
I would often get Pullover mixed up with the other Channel 4 children's show from the 80's called Pob. Although, it was totally different in that the latter was known to spit on the screen and talk total gibberish.
Pob, gob more like it!
Remember the fast show's singing ringing plinking plonking bush?
@@neilold7291 Ah, you mean, 'Ton Swingingen, Ringingen, Bingingen Plingingen, Tingingen, Plinkingen, Plonkingen Boingingen Triee!' shown on Chanel 9. 🤣🤣
It’s interesting that the word pullover wasn’t used that much in England back in the 80s/90s. It was more common in Ireland. Jumper was the preferred term; a pullover sounded like an expensive version of a jumper.
When I moved to the US, people laughed when I talked about wearing a jumper; they use the term sweater or pullover. A jumper in the US is a girl’s dress, particularly a school girl. Eventually someone pointed one out and what they call a jumper, I’d call a pinafore. So I guess I now understand the hilarity when I told people I need to wear a jumper.
I thought ‘jumper’ in the US was an abbreviation of ‘jumpsuit’? Maybe it’s a regional thing.
@@CarysCreatesThings It could be. When I’m e said it in the Midwest or the Northeast, they think I’m going to put on a dress. I don’t really need a jumper in the southwest.
Aww, Pullover is lovely. Exactly my vintage but I don't remember it at all! Another puppet show for you was a late 80s early 90s musical puppet show with dayglo birds and animals dancing with kids to hits from the 70s and 80s. Kind of like Golden Oldie Picture Show meets Mini Pops (without the creepy element). Top points if you can name that show!
Ps We had woolly pullies, what you talking about?!? ;)
Doobie Duck?
@@TFOOS Bloody hell you're good! Go to the top of the class. Thanks, I've been trying to find that for ages.
1:26 and the vote for that one is: were they all tripping?
The singing ringing plinking plonking tree
I absolutely loved prisoner cell block h a show set in a women's prison in australia it ran from 1979 to 1986 I thought it had really good storyline's full of intensity
Oh mate you are talking to the world's biggest Prisoner Cell Block fan here 👍👍
@@TFOOS who was your favourite character
Ferguson, no contest. Met her a few times.
One show I remember watching which I would say is forgotten as no one I know seems to know or remember it is "The Adventures of Grady Greenspace" which is an English version of the French/Canadian live action puppet show ""Les Enquêtes de Chlorophylle" about a group of environmentally aware animals. Les Enquêtes de Chlorophylle aired between 1992-1995. The English version was produced by Central Independent Television and aired on CITV in 1994-1995.
Stephen fry was great as blaster sump in the thin blue line
Try the kids show Creepy Crawlies by Cosgrove Hall.
Recently been watching shows and movies . I haven’t seen in years so this channel is perfect when I came across recently that I hadn’t seen in years is Jonny and the bomb I don’t know if anybody remembers that but I quite enjoyed that
Adaptation of the Terry Pratchett book. Went out on BBC1 sunday around 4.30pm. Was very good.
I hate the royle family and mrs brown's boys so much, they don't deserve capital letters in their titles ! I also hate ALL shopping channels. The waffle on and on about some piece of crap. It takes them an hour to say what they could have said in five minutes. The presenters seem to think they are big telly stars instead of some tatty salesperson !
Calm down dear...
In the U.S., a jumper is a type of dress, but I am aware of how the term is used in Britain. Although I also don't remember the term pullover used unless you wanted to be sure to specify that it wasn't a cardigan.
The BBC tried to challenge Coronation Street with Empire Road but after it bombed they took it off.
Loved 'Desmonds'
Recently binged "Big Deal" I loved at the time, it stands up, Robbie Box is legendary in my head!
I've never seen "Cludo", but I loved Mollie Sugden on "Are You Being Served"
Here is something fun do a programme for songs from childhood that pop into your head at random times mines is the cadburys fudge song
It's just enough
@@TFOOS to give your kids a treat
Got a couple more forgotten ones.
Must've been my bedtime when they started cos i can only remember their opening sequences...
Bouquet of Barbed Wire
Within These Walls (women's prison long before Prisoner Cell Block H)
Bouquet of Barbed Wire was 9pm on a friday night. I remember it well because of the infamous moment when someone pressed the wrong button at ITV during an episode and for a minute you heard the trailer for the following night's episode of the Muppet Show. This was featured on it'll be alright on the night. Funnily enough the moment the actual sound of the programme resumed, the next line of dialogue was 'he did it for revenge.'
@@paultapner2769 9pm... definitely my bedtime (or after my bedtime). I was only 6 or 7 at the time.
"Prisoner Cell Block H"? Sounds good what's that about? 😂
I loved Pop quiz.
A forgotten kids tv show was wishbone a show about a dog who dream famous stories staring him
I would love to see you review Hippies (1999) staring Simon Pegg before he made i big it only 1 series and was very underrated because it was funny and had a great cast ❤👍✌🏴
Yeah. I was watching that earlier today actually on Couchtripper. Great channel. (after TFOOS of course)
5:57 I have to ask: does anybody remember the "I don't think so, I don't think so" guy on Roger Cook's programme.
I don't think so
@@TFOOS lol
seeing empire reminded me of the fosters
Michaela Strachan❤One of my first TV crushes, alongside Sophie Aldred.
No show to talk about today; just wanted to express my annoyance at being reminded of the existence of Koo Stark (and, by extension, Prince Andrew).
All I know about Koo Stark is she was in that episode of Red Dwarf, is she a shit? I mean we know Andrew is.
Another banga!!!!!
Retro
