Allsorts - Opening Titles - 1986

[SrWilson3s]

holy crap i remember watching this in my nursery days

[MaterialGirlMad1989]

I used to watch this in the school holidays. x

[sonnyjimslim]

@Nivvorendinggeordie Thats how I came on I remembered her putting a seed in a pot in a weird tree, it was a bit disturbing, nearly 20years later I'm a bit challenged

[JFredUK]

Didn't this series have one, Christopher Lillicrap in it? Surprising how we all took these programmes for granted, and thought they'd always be there. I feel sorry for today's kids, who don't have any such programmes, (at least, of this kind of quality), to watch in the afternoons when coming home from school, anymore.

[chrissivix]

i used to come home at dinner time to watch this. what was the dog in it called ?

[BillyBigTop]

wow i remember yjos so much from when i was a kid! im 27 now! I miss being young sometimes!

[imnothereactually]

How the hell do i remember that????

[FAWLTYWORZELMELDREW]

My God, I remember this being on when I was really little.

I used to get home from Nursery School every dinnertime and have cheese, crackers, pineapple, apple, banana and orange for dinner and on telly would be lunchtime kids favorites Allsorts, Puddle Lane or Rainbow.

Such a shame that this had to stop to make way for Loose Women.

[WTLNetwork]

Ack! You've opened up a Pandora's Box in my brain! Now I'm getting a million TV memories flooding back.

[MOSTechnology]

wow - i forgot about this...

warm fuzzy childhood memories time!

[MJKnight07]

Wow. Remeber this tune as if it were yesterday.

[SnorkMaiden85]

I remember this!! omg id never have remembered it without seeing it again,

I love the proud train acting all proud lol

[britgirl19]

Omg, I remember this. No-one I know remembers this. I think it was on lunchtimes when I went home for lunch.

[addylewis]

I know exactly what you mean...nobody I know remembers it either!

(Having said that I was never really a MAJOR fan when I was a kid...shit really when you compare it to Rainbow and the Sooty show)

I remember the guys - Jiffy, Bonzo and Dandy with a dog called Spike...

[tigerboytony]

Did you make special arrangements to be home on time to watch this then lol? :)

[Highlander01]

I remember it mate. Yes, it was on during a lunchtime. I remember coming home from primary school for my lunch and sitting down to watch it. No one else I know seems to remember it, either.

[britgirl19]

I think it was Wednesday lunchtimes? It was in the days mum didn't work and she brought me home from school for lunch.

Monday: Let's Pretend (i think)

Tuesday: Rod Jane and Freddy

Wednesday: Allsorts

Thursday: Playbox

friday: Rainbow?

all guess work i cant remember very well

[DaveDaRave1980]

@britgirl19 - you're right it was screened on Wednesdays, I remember that coz me and my sister used to go home at lunchtime every Wednesday for lunch as our aunt (who brought us up) didn't work on Wednesdays. I wsn't a huge fan of Allsorts TBH, although I loved the original theme tune and opening titles!

[thorpsy]

Bloody hell I'm transported straight back to my childhood, thanks for posting this, wonderful.

[scottmu65]

[BunnyBiscuit]

[Robsongreen4eva]

[Hammadmossop1988]

I love the opening music to this show

[misshilton84]

[TVGems]

Soon i'll be upping the entire episode this was from.

Watch this space :)

[Hammadmossop1988]

I miss Allsorts me anyway thank you for uploading this TV Gems it is awesome the opening and closing clips of the programme

[NameNotaNumber]

I like the way it almost goes into a "Paint the whole world with a Rainbow" at the end, but they save themselves from any copyright issues by throwing in a bVImaj / V7 chord sequence to make it sound different. Genius!

[trixierock]

i remember this.wibbly wobbly jelly on a plate!!!!

[cyberdemonx2002]

totally remember this. nothing like watching something you havn;t seen in years... it brings it all back.

[sexysexyadi]

wot happend 2 kids tv

[powdermannnn]

i remeber allsorts

[toonattikfan08]

Great show that was! I wish the CITV Channel would consider in repeating this

[Twigs47]

I distinctly remember one of the characters being a cardboard box that had a face and talked!

[TVGems]

Yep, that was in later shows.

[Twigs47]

thank god for that, thought i was losing it!

[lucifuri666]

Simple yet effective. Though probably not politically correct these days, as it might offend tramps or something.

[rossr87]

LMAO!!

[ttomnintendo]

@Twigs47 that character used to give me nightmares.

[LaurenWaureny]

omg i loved this show when i was younger! i'm glad im not the only one who remembers it!!

[OspreyInTheSky]

WOW! I can't believe I remember this!! I showed it to my parents who started going on and on about how great TV was "back in the day". But i love it!

[TVGems]

This show is 'back in the day', over 20 years ago!

[97channel]

A much forgotten classic.

The end bit of the music (from 0:26) is very similar to the 'Rainbow' Theme tune. The bit that goes... "Paint The Whole World With A Rainbow".

[sootyndark]

Oh my god!!! I can't belive it. No one I spoke to ever remembered this! With the freaky dog thing. ha classic
