TV show identification help

[virginiajim]

Many years before some of you were born there was a children's tv show that featured small animals.  I have this picture in my mind of a Guinea pig in a boat or it could have been a frog.  It was in the opening part of the show I think.  Can any of ya'll remember such a tv show?

Thanks.  I'm getting nostalgic.  Just watched Bill and Ben Flower Pot Men and am also trying to find episodes of Z Cars that are watchable over here in the US.  Charlie started it by showing Vulcan pictures.  Which led me to vids of Upper Heyford and then it went all downhill from there.  And I'm not even drinking...

Guinea pig in a boat - think this was tales of the riverbank.
Only frog we can recall was Kiki from Hectors' House!
Much thanks to SWMBO - sorry the Oracle for this!
Before my time..........honest!

Wow, thanks!  I think that's it.  I'll watch the Z Cars episode later today as I'm on the way out to visit a client..

This is bad ..............

I've just watched Z Cars and Tales from the river bank. Last watched them in the 60's 

[virginiajim]

The ones I watched were in black and white and were in the early 60's.  I watched them at Upper Heyford.  The colour ones came out in the 70's.   Also watched Dr. Who.

I remember watching the first episode ever of Doctor Who. Any body remember Twizzle of Torchy?

[Longtom]

Sadly, yes. This must be in the air or something-I just bought all the Bag puss episodes and am currently collecting Garfield as well. I'll raise your Torchy-and ask if anyone remembers 'Four Feather Falls".
Hell, I've depressed myself now... and all this after getting the second puncture this year on the GTR which is now sadly standing in the shed in the midst of  the rain- swept  freezing garden waiting for me to sort it out. Still, Garfield will sort out my mood!

I remember four feathers. What about space patrol with the puppets and spinning galisphere space ship.

Wow yes! -and what about Telegoons?
