Hey, kids of the 1980s ... any of you watch/watching CITV this weekend?

Yes I have recorded the ones I loved!

Rosie and Jim, Sooty, Fun House, Jungle Run, Rainbow!

Just watching Fun house now, god its awful but good!

I'm watching Press Gang at the moment, Tomorrow People next I'd completely fotgotten it existed!

Ah, I loved Sooty but Soo used to irritate the sh*t out of me.

I don't actually remember Tomorrow People! I must have switched over to the Broom Cupboard when it was on or something.

I don't think anyone remembers it but it did have Todd from Neighbours in it!

Ive just educated my stepdaughter in the ways of the late 80's. She was most concerned that in 'Press Gang' they wrote on typewriters. "what if they made a mistake, where was the delete?" She also coultn work out why 'Knightmare' was scary, 'you can see its not real!'

I also committed a faux pas by seeing a 'Raggy Dolls' episode from 1994. 'oh, thats not that long ago' I said.

'Thats a very long time ago Mini, nearly 20 years'

nothing like kids to make you feel ancient is there?!

We've been watching all day. H was so pleased to see Super Gran this morning. He sat singing along to the theme tune, bless him. Fun House was ace but why did they show a mullet-less episode?! OOH, and my kids thought Finders Keepers was amazing!

I cannot wait for Rainbow tomorrow morning, and How 2 in the afternoon.

Now I get it!!

I was wondering why so many people on my facebook were going on about CITV (and mostly funhouse).

I wonder if OH will mind if I delete all his sport off sky+ to make room for every single programme listed?!

Oooooo Ive Sky plussed that, looking forward to Childrens Ward and Press Gang the most !

How did I not know about this?? I know what tomorrow is all about!!

I'm really pleased they have Spatz on as I used to love that, but they haven't got any James the Cat! Does anyone else remember James the Cat?

I had no idea this was happening- Thank you for sharing!!

I loved Rosie and Jim, always wanted to go on Fun House, do everything on Art Attack! My grandma still has a video of Raggy Dolls.

Just put it on, Boyo is trying to write an essay for uni...he is gonna be distracted now...

Took me ages to find this- didn't think of looking on kids section of sky ? now got shed loads of stuff on sky +

Button moon, brilliant!

We have been watching all weekend.

My 8 year old son asked me if they had adverts when I used to watch it, in the olden days! ? I'm 24!!

Wow the prizes on FunHouse were alot more crap than I remember!

BigBird- my 7 year old stepson asked if the reason my family didn't have a car growing up was because they hadn't been invented then....im 29.

What were the prizes? I'm guessing something like a Walkman that 1) wasn't Sony and 2) didn't have a rewind function?

A walkman

A kite

a watch

a pair of shoes

a years membership to a sports club

some pen and pencil sets

I cant remember the rest. I cannot Imagen the yoof of today being too amused by it all.

A kite ?

This is very true!

Thanks whoever originally posted this, as had no idea this was on! Watched fun house and knightmare before my night shift, and got rosie and jim, and sooty recorded!

My parents are aliens, the worst witch and How 2!!

Its a fact that the glove puppet regularly wore out and was often replaced by someone dashing down to Woolworths to buy a replacement....honest fact.....

Oh, I didn't get round to watching any of these at the weekend. I was never a fan of Knightmare or fun house though, I thought they were boring. I used to like Mike and Angelo, and my parents are aliens. The girl who played Lucy in My parents are aliens is now a receptionist at one of the local vet practices here and she's lovely.
