What was your favourite childrens show from the 60's and 70's?

[pauldogs_0]

Hi everyone, It's been a very long time since I was last on ebay, but now I've decided to pay a visit. I'm in nosey mode. I'm wondering what children's telly people liked to watch in the 60's and 70's. What ever the show genre, educational, schools programmes, documentaries, cartoons etc. Please list everything you liked or disliked, i.e anything and everything.

I'll start th on a stone.ings off with Animal magic, the flintstones, bugs bunny. I'll put more on the list later when I've got a bit more time. There is one schools tv show I'm trying to remember though but it just wont come, all I can remember though is that there were child actors in it and they had to look for A K ( which stood for Adam Kent) on a stone. Anyone remember that?

Anyway, happy listing on this subject I mean.

The Lost Treasure Part Four 30 Jan 1967   Starting from the prompt that A.K. must be Adam Kent, the person who hid the treasure and wrote the clues, the children put the two clues together side by side to read the instructions for finding the treasure. Mrs Brown gives them a map of the area to help them to find the treasure, then goes off. The first clue requires a stone with 'AK' on it, so they split up to search round the gardens. Carol finds a stone with "Time Will Not Stand Still" [remember that; it may become important later] on it, but Bob discovers what they're looking for - 'AK' on the wall of the house above the front door. They next have to turn their backs to the stone and cross the canal. The next line - G O N W from K - they can't understand so they move on to the next and go to search for 'Ing's Mill'. The spot a mill on the map they were given: Bob thinks it's the one from the clue, Carol isn't sure. When they go to the mill a man lets them look round inside. Carol notices that the date on the wall is 1959, so it is a new mill and not old enough for Adam Kent to have known about it. So they sit down to reconsider the latest clues.
