More details on no 27. I guess part of the difficulty stems from the fact that if you ask anyone if they can hum the theme tune, the answer is generally "no". Apparantly the show was first broadcast in 1975 (a great year to be born) and was aimed at pre-school kids. Looking at websites it's claimed that it was a bit trippy. The main character was a little unconventional... sounds a bit like the Teletubbies really, but 20 years earlier (which makes one wonder what all the fuss about the Teletubbies was about).

Hope that helps!

[rab] no. 27 - The Magic Roundabout?

[Chalky] Nope. Think cartoon. Think cross-dressing.

[rab number 27] Is it Bod?

[Darren] It is indeed! I apologise for being approximate, but it's quite tricky to write down, as you can verify by listening to this.

Come on! Number 28's still open and there's plenty of room for more tunes!

OK I'll try one if no one minds

80's Cartoon/20 minute toy advert.

[Gusset Login, Darren] *Was all grown-up in the 80s and definitely not home early enough from work to watch tea-time cartoons*

[GL] Transformers? Not that I ever saw it, but it fits the description.

[GL] He-Man? On the grounds that I never watched ITV (my parents were very prejudiced against it and/or didn't want us watching the adverts that weren't disguised as cartoons) and I can't fit any of the ones I remember off BBC to it.

[Brendan] No
[Raak] No, but it was vaguely similar now I come to look back on it

[GL] Mighty Morphing Power Rangers?

Bendan] Ha! I've found you at last! The other person in the UK banned from watching ITV...

Whereas I merely gravitated away from ITV of my own accord. Obnoxious snob that I was (am?).

Hm, I always think of ITV as being inherently low-quality. I'm not sure why. Perhaps I've watched it?

Darren]Exactly. But somehow you're labelled as snobby if you air that opinion.

I'm contemplating reporting ITV to trading standards- I think it is a hideous misrepresentation of the word 'independent' unless it means 'watchable solely after 2am'

I never watched ITV as a child for snobby reasons too. Now I refuse to watch the BBC as well, leaving me with Channels 4 and 5 for refuge. This is why I tend to play a lot of computer games.

Since we're pretty much all agreed about ITV, is anyone interested in continuing with this game? ;)

[Darren] Doesn't look like it.

[Gusset] Shame, that.
