 (The) Adventure Game 1982 
This was the original Crystal Maze. Very strange, but going where no contestants game show went before. The idea of the game was for a team of adventirers to escape a weird planet (even with its own currency). I can vaguely remember it gave contestants might an opportunity to play a very early BBC Computer, where they were required to escape from a maze.
 Adventures of Noddy 1955 
Remarkably popular though why i'll never know. Why does it seem that there was always a kid at school that fitted the description of one of Noddy's friends, Big Ears. For me Enid Blyton can stick to writing Famous Five books.
 Andy Pandy 1950 
More like Mamby Pamby. Lets face it Luby Loo was not worth hanging around for. In fact if it wasn't for Big Ted, I doubt if this would of kept my interest. He was the first star of Watch with Mother "Time to go home, time to go home, Andy is waving goodbye, goodbye." Scratch you later, Andy.

Animal Magic 1962
With Johnny Morris. A bit of a "Doctor Doolitle" except he talked on behalf of the animals. A much needed nature program in the 70's. Though the Really Wild Show was a good update.
 Arabian Knights 1968 
-
This was a classic saturday morning cartoon shown each week on the Banana Splits. One of the knights had great strength another could turn into anything he chose, e.g.. "Size of a Pea" for when he needs to shrink. Their was also the donkey that had immense strength when his tail was pulled. This was worth getting up for on a Saturday morning.
 Are You Being Served? 1974
62 episodes were produced of this very popular sitcom within Grace Brothers. John Inman was probably most well known for his camp catchphrase "I'm free".With such a lack of customers and so well staffed, it's a wonder the place stayed open .
Ask Aspel 1977
Michael Aspel would interview people in a similar manor to Parkinson.
 Ask the Family 1965
All I can remember, is a classic family of 4, dad, mum, son and daughter, took on another family by answering an assortment of questions. Often there would be a closeup photo of an every day object that wasn't easy to identify, also the usual questions like "Jonny had a bag of sweets, and 2 brothers and 3 sisters, if his brothers had 4 sweets each, how many sweets would he need to keep his sisters happy". Answer ...... 8, You can't keep women happy! Though obviously they wouldn't give that answer on the show.
