From Hair Bear Bunch to H R Puff n Stuff
Hair Bear Bunch : Hair Bear, Square Bear and (fill in the blank please), residents of a rather hi-tec cave in The Wonderland Zoo. Looked after by zookeeper Peevly and Botch.
IN THE WONDERLAND ZOO
THERE ARE CERTAIN BEARS WHO
STAY AT HOME EVERY NIGHT
NEVER QUARREL OR FIGHT
AHHH - THEY DON'T EVEN BITE!
SO LETS GO <I THINK>
HELP! HELP! HERE COME THE BEARS!
HELP! HELP! HERE COME THE BEARS!
HELP! HELP! HERE COME THE BEARS!
IT'S THE HAIR BEAR BUNCH....

A Handful of Songs : A couple sit in a studio decorated by children's drawings singing along to the guy's guitar. Anyone remember "I'm a pink toothbrush. Your a blue toothbrush" Happiness, no more, no less.
WE'VE GOT A HANDFUL OF SONGS TO SING YOU,
CAN'T STOP MY VOICE WHEN IT LONGS TO BRING YOU,
NEW SONGS AND TRUE SONGS AND SONGS TO BRING YOU,
HAPPINESS - NO MORE, NO LESS
MOREOVER, WHEREVER WE MAY ROAM TO,
OR ANY SHORE THAT WE MAY BE BLOWN TO,

LAUGH AND SHOUT - THE MUSIC'S OUT
Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew : Kid detectives who had their own shows on alternate weeks but would come together for a "special" every so often. I have no idea whether they were related or what but Nancy was a bit of a babe.
Heads and Tails: Kids TV genius Derek Griffiths with his look on the animal kingdom, includimg each animals own theme tune.
Theme Tune - Heads and Tails Theme
Sound Clip - A song about monkeys
Hector's House : No info, but here's a website.
Website - Hector's House
Video - Hector's House
Heggety Haggety : A witch, with a cat and a rock and roll theme tune. Narrated by George "Her Indoors" Cole.
Heidi: Soppy trash with a real nauseating theme tune. Even the dubbing sounded wooden. Why do little girls in these programmes ALWAYS have to be smiling?
He-man: and the Masters Of The Universe. Prince Adam, nice chap, never in any trouble, knows the power of Greyskull and he's not afraid to hold up his magic sword and shout about it.
This programme would change the face of Kids TV forever. "He-Man" was a toy before it was a TV show but Matel wanted to know how to sell more of him, so they made the TV show, so they sold the merchanise and the rest....
Henry's Cat : An English Garfield. Terribly animated, awful voices, bloody brilliant. Who was Henry?
Characters included:
Denise duck
Ted Tortoise
Sammy Snail
Chris rabbit - A sarcastic little git.
Douglas Dog
Mosey mouse
Original Theme Tune (it would become an instrumental)
HEN-ER-RY'S

HEN-ER-RY'S
HEN-ER-RY'S
YOU MUST KNOW HEN-ER-RY'S CAT
YOU MUST HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE

WHO KNOWS WHAT HE KNOWS
THEN YOU MUST KNOW HENRY'S CAT
THEN YOU MUST KNOW HENRY'S CAT

The Herbs: A group of animals living in a garden all based on various herbs and spices.
Bayleaf the Gardeners song :
I'M BAYLEAF, I'M THE GARDENER,
I WORK FROM EARLY DAWN,
SWEEPING UP THE LEAVES
AND RAKING UP THE LAWN.
Parsley the lions song.
I'M A VERY FRIENDLY LION CALLED PARSLEY,
PLEASE DON'Y SHOUT AT ME OR TALK TO ME TOO HARSHLY"
Dill the dogs song :
I'M DILL THE DOG, I'M A DOG CALLED DILL"
Sage the owl song:
I'M A FEATHERY OWL CALLED SAGE.

Hey Look That's Me : Bloke looking very much like Keith Chegwin (I don't think it was him though) rode round Hampshire on a bicycle pulling a small pink one man caravan (like Grandpa's in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). It gave local kids the chance to get themselves on telly, you know the type of thing, Cub Packs, Girl Guides, under 8 baseball teams and go-kart or model clubs. Broadcast once a week on Saturdays, it reached the zenith when it introduced the once a year go-kart challenge!! They closed a public road (a long hill) and allowed kids in homemade go-karts to race, without helmets, at breakneck speed against each other. The only cover was one St Johns ambulance man.
It was carnage but great telly, I think they managed two years before they realised it was a little dangerous/lost their franchise?
Hickory House : Not to be confused with Hector's House apparently (whatever that was). Dusty Mop, a mop with a long red nose and two eyes and Humphrey Cushion, a grey cushion with big ears and had a passion for bananas.
Hold Tight : Now who remembers this?? A quiz show based at Alton Towers theme park. Good idea but the contestants rarely got to go on the rides. Bob Carolgees (Spit The Dogs owner) was one of the presenters.
In their recent biography Depeche Mode mention appearing on "Hold Tight" as one of the low points of their career.
