Obscure TV Shows you loved as a child!

El Nombreee.... Writing numbers in the desert sand ... El Nombreee!!! My fave little mouse!

I still sing this all the time 🤣

The ones that come to mind which haven't been mentioned yet are Agent Z And The Penguin From Mars (which I only found out relatively recently was written by Mark Haddon and starred Reggie Yates), Aquila (pretty cool sci-fi, involving some kids finding an alien spaceship), Five Children and It (which is relatively famous, iirc) and The Demon Headmaster (Which is very famous, and to be honest I never found it that scary. The sequels went a bit strange)

Thank you for saying Aquila! I've been trying to describe it to people for years and no-one remembers it. I was beginning to think I'd made it up 😂 Another one that no-one seems to remember is Pig Heart Boy.

Some great shows have been mentioned already. I always liked Wizadora, Hangle the coathanger cracks me up 🤣 Also Come Outside, Oakie Doke, How 2, The Ghost Hunter (I remember the author came to my primary school), 50/50, The Animals of Farthing Wood. I've fallen down a massive YouTube rabbit hole and feel really old! 🤣
 
Does anyone remember wild house(?) Idk if it was the girl from the queen's nose or just a similar looking blonde girl and she loved animals or something 🤔
The brother would say "I bet David Attenborough never has this trouble" or something like that 🤣


What was the programme where the parents got hypnotised and then when a certain word was said it would make them act like children but they didnt know what word it was? 🤔
 
I remember watching a documentary where a group of about 12 girls got put together to fend for themselves for a week. I think it was called girls alone. I was obsessed and would watch it on repeat as i would have loved to do it 😂 always remember one being called Chaz and one being called Sherry/Cherry


Edit - omg I've found it

I know what I'm watching tomorrow 😂
 
Slightly random but I also loved Trans World Sports on Ch4. Particularly Kabaddi which I still don’t understand the rules of.
I always used to watch that when I was really quite young. I have a suspicion that it's why I like American Football to this day (and also why I can watch just about any sport).
 
I enjoyed quite a lot of anime type shoes as a kid/teen - I think they are actually pretty popular but didnt really know anyone else who watched them. I loved Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z.
