Ok, I am sure that most of you have had this conversation with your mates and one point or other so I thought I would bring it to the forum.
What TV shows were your absolute favourite as a kid?
What did you run home from school to watch?
I know for me, there was a show called T-Bag with a boy called T-Shirt and then there was Knightmare, which was a very, very early computer graphics 'Dungeons & Dragons' type game show.
Any others?

Noggin The Nog - I have inflicted hours of pain on my kids cos i found a book with 4 Nog tales and three of them on a cassette - Read by Oliver Postgate him self. Absolutely fabulous. "Hello Noggin" said Graculus

Yeah I enjoyed that too.
Dungeons and Dragons.
Knightmare
Heman
Oh yeah baby, bring on the Knightmare. They should so bring that back with up-to-date graphics, I'd be running home from work, let alone school.Originally Posted by Dizzy
Others I used to watch as a kid, but not during 'kids TV hours' were Mork and Mindy and Captain Scarlet. Before my time you think? Ah, the joy of endless repeats of 70's shows on Channel 4.
In order to not repeat loads, as there are loads of great ones here, I'll have to rack my brains a bit, but there's a couple that need repeating:
Mr Ben
Cities of Gold
Chorlton & the Wheelies
The Adventure Game
OK, I don't think any of these have been mentioned:
Why Don't You
Grange Hill (in the days of Tucker Jenkins, of course)
The Flumps
Rhubarb & Custard
Take Hart
Animal Magic
Bod
Camberwick Green, Trumpton & Chigley
Dangermouse
Fingerbobs
Blockbusters
and does anyone remember Chockey?

And LMC- I remember the Adventure Game! I thought I was the only person who did. The Vortex used to really creep me out.
I also loved: Dungeons & Dragons, Thundercats, The Chronicles of Narnia, Cities of Gold, Pigeon Street, Sesame Street, and King Rollo.
