I loved the glam metal detectives. It was for adults but my mother would wake me up to watch it 🤣

Also loved North and South and knightmare. Incredible games is what I always wanted to take part in! Pretty sure they changed it from soup, To ceral to spaghetti each week ?
 
I loved Byker Grove, Jossie's Giants, Maid Marion & Her Merry Men, and Grange Hill, having a younger brother I also had to sit through numerous cartoons but actually like some of them like Dungeons & Dragons, The Raccoons and classic Tom & Jerry. My cousin was in Dodger, Bonzo & The Rest as well as Press Gang, he gave me some merchandise whilst he was in the shows so that went down well with my friends :), more so when he also did some adverts so we got a few boxes of toothpaste and Ovaltine, and apples :LOL:

Loved The Queens Nose and The Wild House 😁 maybe not that obscure!

there was one other people can’t seem to remember, it was in the 90s, a cartoon and they were little elves living in a forest, that’s about all I remember but the animation was really cute, toadstools etc. think it was on relatively early at the weekends.

Does anyone else remember watching cartoon network really late at night, they'd put these really weird cartoons on called - what a cartoon. This would have been about mid 90s. There was one where this guy was making dinner for a woman coming round and he ends up cooking anything he finds and it's really gross and weird to watch. Also, there's another one called no tip, about a boy that delivers pizza and goes through all these hurdles and gets no tip at the end and goes insane. They are still on YouTube and I feel freaked out watching them back today. Enjoyed them at the time though. 🧐

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)

I’ve found someone else that remembered Agent Z and the Penguin from Mars!!!

Does anyone remember a kids show on CBBC called, Julia Jekyll and Harriet Hyde? It starred Olivia Hallinan who went on to star in Sugar Rush. From memory it used to air a lot, and the Harriet Hyde costume looked a bit unnerving.

Vaguely remember it, but not anything more than the title.

I remember the title but that's about it. Olivia Hallinan was also in Lark rise to Candleford.
