Just googled it, it was shown in 1970 - 72
The Double Deckers were a group of seven young adults (aged 9 to 16) living in London who hung out and played together in a converted doubledecker bus. The bus served as a club house for the kids: Scooper, Spring, Billie, Brains, Doughnut, Tiger, and Sticks (the only American member of the gang). The lone adult regular was Albert, a street cleaner, who was friends with the gang.

OMG ! Why Don't You...i loved that lol i still make 1 of the things they taught...
Loved the Banana Splits as well
How about the Clangers, The Tomorrow People, Chorlton n the Wheelies n Captain Pugwash...we were so innocent then.
Fav cartoon by far was Battle of the Planets followed closely by Count Duckula...yeah i was a bit older but i could catch the more 'adult' jokes in it

Can anyone remember this one???? Pipkins!
Mr Pipkins!! Who was a puppet maker in a shop. I remember watching this even tho I hated the (scabby) Hartley Hare, there was an Ostrich called Octavia and the pig, Topov I think was the monkey and Mooney (I had forgotten the monkey and other thing till I saw this pic!) Oh and a pigeon I can;t remember either. It was screened around 1973 at lunchtimes.

 Heres Pinky and Perky, I remember those bless em, how cute were they?!
 Bill and Ben and Weed too, always a fave, I recently saw on tv the new version and it was quite true to the original, even though obviously the puppetry was far superior lol with NO strings.

I've just had a flash back i can remember the hare and the monkey ...looking at that pic brought it all back ...I used to be scared of the hare with them funny teeth..Ta Debs if i have a nightmare the night i'm ringing you lol
The recipe from Why Don't You i've taught to my bros kids
you get a round of bread use an egg cup to cut a whole in centre then break an egg onto a saucer put eggcup over yolk and press down n pour white of egg away
fry bread in oil and once you've turned it over to do 2nd side pour yolk into hole in middle
i used to hate an egg white n bros kids are the same

Remember the orignal Crackerjack with Leslie Crother and a little dark haired bloke think it was games and competitions and every so often the audience shouted CRACKERJACK a few years later it came back with Don McClean but never the same or did I grow up !!!!

I used to watch that all the time Julie, used to love the game at the end where they had to see how many prizes they could hold in their arms, including cabbages..I can't remember the rules or WHY they got cabages lol....and the winner used to keep all the toys they were holding. How great would that have been? !!! I used to imagine how I'd hold things to maximise what I took home, I was so jealous of those kids lol
