The Dick and Dora book were how I learned to read, my parents taught me how to really young so I was ahead of the other kids when I started school. Then I found the cat in the hat books by Doctor Seuss, we took the kids to florida and I was chuffed to meet him (the cat not the doctor)
Edit
Dagrat, I remember Harry Worth, there was a bank near where we lived that was all clad outside in shiny black marble. We used to do that thing with the arm and leg in the reflection just like good old Harry

Stingray and Four Feather Falls.

I never ever heard of that one,so I googled it and it was superb :biggrin5:

Take a look at the link
Four Feather Falls: Episode 1 - How It Began - Part 1 - YouTube

That would definitely be banned by the do good clubs,especially the cowboy and his unique way of getting his guns out at the start

Chronicles of Narnia...and for a Blue Peter Badge, what was the name of the cat in Hectors House?

Screw reading, didn't learn the alphabet till about 9.
Fractions when I was 11. Quite good at Maths now though! English is still crap.

And 'Richard the Lionheart' didn't take any messing from Saladin and his saracens.

What about Magpie? Anyone remember that? There was a gadgie who's name I can't rememberon it who looked a bit like Brian May, probably couldn't play guitar as well though, and a fit woman also who's name escapes me

the fit women always escape me too

 

[dagrat]

the fit women always escape me too

The fit woman was Jenny Hanley and the guy like Brian May was Mick Robinson I think...
