Who remembers this one?

Joe & Petunia

I remember them when I was little. They'd come on in the morning before kid's TV or the lunchtime kid's shows.

Hopefully, they will put some more videos up soon. I always liked the Tufty ones, although thinking about it, it looked like he lived in a "Grand Theft Auto" city, judging by the number of times he'd get run down crossing the street!

I got the web link from the news feed that Nigel has on the Britnet front page which is a great resource. I've changed the shortcut in Britnet from going straight into the Forums to the front page and it's been great having all the news served up there, so thanks Nigel.
I have my homepage set to the Britnet front page anyway, always have, so I saw this earlier on today! Wonderful stuff and so memorable!

Loved the "Charlie says" ones with the cat and the little boy too.

On the same page, the man who turned his flat into the palace of Versailles.

Somewhere at home, I have a CD with The Prodigy doing a song called "Charlie" with samples of the boy and the cat.

Thinking about it, my cat can bitch like Charlie but I'm not sure if she's saying I should always ask my mummy and daddy before going off somewhere :?:

Even now I reflexively call all small boats din-jeez.

/that's why they call it programming
Oh, heck, yes! I remember that and the "Charlie Says.." ones. smile

Well at least you admit youve got Charley and not like the ravers back in the day who said they bought The Prodigy for 'Your Love' (The B side track) :wink:

Anyone remember the old road safety films with Tufty the squirrel and friends?
