Help me remember a TV show!

[ADG]

It was a kid's TV show from years and years ago and it was a sketch show on ITV. It was set out like a comic book with the show going from panel to panel. All I remember is one panel had a pair of gloved hands who did tricks and stuff.

Please someone remember what I'm on about!

Zap or something?

Yeah, I found it now! Was called ZZZap! Amazing show. Thanks MDK!

[MDK]

Funnily enough I was thinking of that show the other day.

As soon as I read the title, I thought of this show.

Cuthbert Lilly, he's dead silly!

[Scott McFly]

That show was awesome. Weird as hell, but awesome.

My brother's class got to go on Zzzzap! for one of the Cuthbert Lilly sketches.

Daisy Dares You! Arty Farty! Cuthbert Lilly!

I miss ITV's kids TV, specifically Fun House and ZZZap!

Funnily enough I was thinking of that show the other day.

There's not a day goes by that I don't think of it.

[MDK]

What else was on bbc and itv at the time? I remember I had a schedule and zzzap was part of it. Was fun house on after? And I'm sure there was a cartoon before it on bbc.

If this turns into a 'what childrens shows did we enjoy' thread can we keep it open to UK'ers only? None of this american guff please. Unless it was Denver the Last Dinosaur, The Hurricanes etc.

It's quite sad that when we were kids we had lots of awesome shows. Now I think the Beeb and ITV's kids division run on about a fiver between them and import everything apart from Blue Peter and Newsround. Hell, CITV isn't on ITV anymore, it's on some digital channel.

Nothing tops Sharky and George.

Yeah, I feel sorry for the kids of today if this is what they have to put up with.

I spent hours last night watching all the old TV intros I remember from when I was a kid. Anyone else remember http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Mh7hhaqhk,

or the absolute fucking genius that was Rosie and Jim?

Without watching that, I can sing the Rosie and Jim theme.

Also I'll never forget how my mind was blown when I found out that the french artist guy was Neil Buchannan.

I've been reminded of more genius in the form of

and of course, the fifth greatest export from Australia behind Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia, Adam Hills and boxing kangaroos, Round The Twist.

Oooh, oooh and Animals of Farthing Wood and

God there was so much amazing TV back then. I'm actually quite glad these programmes aren't still on. I'd never get any studying done!
