I'm sure there was more than one version...I remember the original ones I saw as a kid, which were great. But I'm sure they did another version later on, which wasn't so good.

Well you're 10 yrs younger than me so the moomins would have been at the periphery of my consciousness at the time.........

Yeah.

There were some great shows when I was a kid.

Moomins, Clangers, Button Moon, Bagpuss, Willo-the-wisp, Trumpton etc., plus all the toy-selling cartoons like Transformers etc.

Ah... :)

Ah... :)

Think the best one was Captain Pugwash ;) The amount of things that the producers got away with was hilarious. When you compare the childrens programmes from the 80s against what todays kids are watching you just have to feel sorry for them :)

Althought it is supposed to be Master Mate but sometimes doesn't sound like it. They show was brought back to the screens in 1997 apparently.

I remember the Moomins. I seemed to recall that the author died recently, but a search on the BBC reveals she died in 2001. It doesn't seem that long ago. Sigh. Pretty unique children's entertainment. These days it's all violence :rolleyes:

[edit] Heh - who'd have thought we could love trolls and be all misty-eyed about them :D

Pugwash was good.


But I'm sure all the stuff about the dodgy names was just a myth.
