The "Does anyone remember this?" Thread

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Does anyone else remember the somewhat sinister German made kids programme Silas, which was really badly dubbed into English?

 

The characters often had their own music, and there was an immense villain called The Shrew. Whenever she appeared electric guitars blared out.

Fuck yeah!

Our very own poster here Reds4life was in that film. It was called The Leaving if Liverpool.

Boss that Leaving of Liverpool.

 

Did he play Bert?

I used to love Oink. No fucker remembers it! I remember there was a free gift with the first issue - a floppy record. One of the songs went 'Poo poo tinkle tinkle parp parp oink". Nearly 30 years on I can still sing it all the way through. Ace memories!

Oink was boss. Do you remember Round The Bend?

"Sing" it. Riiiight.

Round the Bend was magic, I never missed it.

 

Proper grown up programme for kids.

[Dr Nowt]

Fuck yeah!

 

The wonders of You Tube.  7:38 in The Shrew's kidnapping a child with Eddie Van Halen playing in the background.

Brilliant.

Anyone remember Ulysses 31?

 

Wicked programme.  My brother absolutely loved it, so it used to be on at ours loads.

 

[Furmedge]

That's the one Furmedge. red4life isn't the lad that was in Goin Off Big Time as well was he?

 

Kevin Knapman?

Nah not him. Our kev (reds4life) I think was uncredited in the film but carved out a successful career on an Australian sky 1 show called Hey Dad playing a paper boy and guest spotted on the Oz version of Double Dare, sadly without Peter Simon. He's available for birthdays and bar mitzvahs.

Ulysses has been covered in great depths on here before. Strange, weird show that had a really dark tone.

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Ooooh anyone remember chocky. I can't remember what the fuck it was about just the credits and the spinning thingymajig.

I had a pretend imaginary friend called choccy after this programme. Not a real imaginary friend mind, but me mate had an imaginary friend so I pretended to have one and named it choccy after this static analog waveform type thing.

 

Also had a tomytronic 3d as per below, must have set me da back about 30 quid which seemed like fuckloads back in the early 80s when yer were on the dole.

What song had a bit in it that went rat ta tat ta tat.

Chanson D'amour by Manhattan Transfer (1977ish)

[Dr Nowt]

Worth watching the first 20 seconds of this just for the classic 1980's gamer reaction.

Silas used to be alternated with Heidi, and this classic.

I'm a bit worried to read through this thread in case anyone has posted a picture of Zelda!

 

 

Oooof, even just saying her name!

[Dr Nowt]

My mate's Mum looks like Zelda.  The enjoyment we used to get out of telling him that.

 

For shame.

[Teasmaid]

We used to call my Nan Zelda, she was the fucking spit of her. I feel a bit shitty now looking back to 1985, I didn't realise she was actually dying of cancer at the time.

[Chairman Meow]

At a place I worked ages ago there was two sisters who spent way too much time on the sunbeds and had that wrinkled leathery thing going on, we used to call them the Terrahawks. 

[Bjornebye]

I smashed my game-boy trying to save Zelda. Fucking little slag

[The Golden Eel]

I actually remember having a Round the Bend magazine in the late 80s

we used to call my nan zelda as well. Called my uncle yung star too, which we still do despite him being nearly 70.

 

 

We also called my nan wolfienan as we saw her with a brown dressing gown on one night and me and my cousin convinced ourselves it was wolf skin and she was a werewolf.

[RedKnight]

Yep, cities of gold did too.

 

Full series on Amazon Prime. You have to turn to YouTube for Ulysses.
