 Captain Caveman 197? 
Lets face it, this has to be one of the Slag Brothers out of Wacky Races. Joining him are a group of girls who look like there nicked from Josie and the Pussycats, renamed The Teen Angels.
Captain Pugwash 1957
Well it all seemed rather innocent at the time, it's since been banned from children's tv, which isn't a bad thing from any point of view, in fact wasn't there a similar animation called "Sir Prancelot" in a similar style program. Jumping jellyfish! Cut Throat Jakes arrived.
 Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 1968
Another Gerry Anderson puppet show, by now Ii had started getting them all confused into one!32 episodes were made and based on an invasion on Mars gone wrong in 2065 AD.
Catch the Pigeon 19?? 
Amazing inventions airborne all going wrong with a purpose off stopping a stupid pigeon. Each cartoon had the same ending where a phone would ring and when answered, a hand came out of the phone and snatched the medals off Dick Dastardley`s chest. Also there was a fat pilot who had every "ziinnggg...poppp...chowowo" translated by a very nervous skinny bloke.
 Catweazle 1970 
Usual story about a 11th Century tramp who gets trapped in the 20th Century. He thought a light-bulb was the sun trapped in a bottle, etc.
 Celebrity Squares 1975
Yet another Bob Monkhouse quiz. Using 9 half famous people, the contestants played noughts and crosses by matching the answers with the questions. Based on Americas Hollywood Squares.
(The) Champions 1968 
Three humans endowed with extra skills, use there powers to keep law, order and justice.
(The) Changes 1975
This is a really vague description of a children's serial that showed a girl who was badly effected by anything electrical around her. I can particularly remember her suffering when next to electric pylons. Thats about all I can remember of this 70`s BBC children's program. It was very haunting.
 Charlie's Angels 1976
Once upon a time there were 3 girls who went to the police academy and they were each assigned very hazardous duties, but I took them away from all that and now they work for me. My name is Charlie.
Chigley 1969
The least interesting of the 3 Gordan Murry productions. I can remember all the workers after the whistle would gather round the organ and dance with there parteners.
(The) Clangers 1969
Whistling socks concerned about keeping the Soup Dragon happy.27 episodes were made in total.This was produced by Oliver Postgate of Bagpuss , Pogles Wood and Ivor the Engine fame.
 Clapperboard 1972
All I remember is this was an early version of "Film '98" except it was a look at films by Chris Kelly.
Cloppa Castle 1978
Medieval puppets centred around the Castle of Cloppa.
 Cooper 1957
Tommy Cooper, a brilliant magician who made every trick go right by making every trick go wrong.
 Coronation Street 1960
Originally entitled Florizel Street
Crackerjack 1955
To this day, people still have been known to say "It's friday, it`s 5 to 5, it's CRACKERJACK !" and yet when you looked at the prizes given away, it's a wonder anyone wants to remember it....cabbages, a Crackerjack pencil and in the later series they splashed out on Crackerjack pens. Overall it was the feel good factor of being a friday, and school had finished for another week, behind the psychological effect of watching a silly pantomime at the conclusion of the show that no doubt was responsible for its success. Appearances from Eamon Andrews, Ronnie Corbett, Peter Glaze, Don MacLean, Michael Aspel, Ed Stewart and Stu Francis.
Crossroads 1964
Classic soap opera, at a hotel somewhere upnorth. Benny and miss Diane....unforgetable. The King's Oak Crossroads Motel was blown up - in the script. This was the on-screen reason for in reality ATV were moving there studio and would be building new sets.
Crystal Tips and Alistair 197?
A not very animated cartoon about a girl and her dog, always shown at 5.40pm just before the news.
