TCC memories

pugwall

Remember the childrens channel? I used to love it! Here are a selection of memories:

- They once had a promotion going where the kids would send in a crisp and if it reached them without being damaged then the kid would be rewarded some 'amazing' prize. (most popular method was a matchbox and cotton wool)

- Pugwall

- Degrassi Junior High

-Rude dog and the DweeBs!

How the hell did you remember that crisp thing?
I remember now that you said it, but I had completley forgotten about it. Saved By The Bell is all I really remember. Oh and wasn't California Dreams on it too?

pugwall

How the hell did you remember that crisp thing?

I must've watched that channel waaaay to much!

I also remember the Smarties competition they ran. You had to match a number or colour or something. I sent off for a pack but they sent me an apology saying the competion was over and loadsa TCC badges and stickers and stuff

They also had stuff like

CurioCity
Gareth 'Gaz Top' Jones
That show where there were loads of kids presenting and doing mad stuff
That crisp thing too
Rude Dog

*may not be true

I just had to get in on the act ! The 80snostalgia.com message board fed my addiction of all things 80s but alas that is no longer.

Anyway, back to TCC, does anyone remember Telly Cat and the quarks ?!? Watched it every morning before I headed off to school.

Heheh. Link Anchorman, he was great.

I remember there wasa presenter called Jed, right annoying tit. Fantastically, he left TCC to form a band.

oneweb

All of a sudden the proper name popped into my head.

Rude Dog and the Dweebs.

Wasn't it W12 6LH? Hm, I bet *someone* has a video arround here to help me verify - it's driving me mad now. It could be what someone else said - but I didn't think it had 7 digits? Argh.

Anyone remember "The Big Dish"? That's when I pretty much knew TCC was about to be chucked out the door... it's kinda bizarre how this channel is actually still running - to more or less every person in Ireland, it died once cablelink/NTL ditched it.

Sangre

Remember that show where these mice used rock n' roll to save the world?
There was only one episode and they showed it all the ****ing time, it was worse then the OSbornes. That was the reason I'm glad they got rid of it.

Ryo Hazuki

TCC boasts an unbeatable line-up of shows, 11 hours a day, seven days a week, from 7am to 6pm.

The website does not say it was ever shut down, Perhaps its still on somewhere......

mice used rock n' roll to save the world

"Biker Mice from Mars" ?

BoobeR

Biker Mice from Mars SERIOUSLY ruled.
all the old x-men, spiderman, jonny quest etc

razorfeather

Omg!! i just remembered, THE TOY BOX

i think that's what it was called.

when all the toys would come to life????

that was animal! lol

Makaveli

Just remembered California Raisens.
Only one of my friends still remembers that, everyone else thinks I made it up.

D-Generate

I remember those singing raisins too. The toy box show was called Johnson and Friends and they used also had a kid's show in the morning called Jack in the Box or somefink like that and it had a teddy-bear in it called surprise surprise..... Teddy!!

lyonsy

roger ramjet- remember the song: roger ramjet and his eagles fighting for our freedom, fly through in and out of spage to join him something something beat him, roger ramjet hes our man hero of our nation, something something must be sure to stay tuned to this station...

o and speed racer- go speed racer!go speed racer!go speed racer! gooooo! stupid jap cartoons.

dog tanion & the 3 muskahounds dunno if that was tcc though.

maybe someone can help me out, i have this show in my head but i can't put a name to it.
it was a big green dinosaur that used to live with these teenagers? damnittttttt..i used to know the song and all but my memories gone to mush plZZZZZ someone!!!

i think he used to wear a pink hat too or something..? and a picture of a garden springs to mind...

Ryo Hazuki

Skeleton Warriors was the only childrens programme I ever saw that had a last episode!

The humans won by throwing the skeletons into lava.

Anyone remember BATTLETECH?

D-Generate

Battletech was teh win. Marvellous animation and the storyline was su-poib. The ending was sad aswell, the guy had a showdown against the Clan Wolf on top of a Timberwolf Mech dood and he kicked the Clan Wolf guys ass and the Clan Wolf guy handed over the planet but when the good guy returned to the planet he found out that all his people had been taken as slaves, thus setting up another series which never took place.

razorfeather

ROFLMFAO.

Ryo Hazuki

Ah, I dont remember that Denver Dinosaur, but I remember A quote from battletech

"I will honour our agreement, to the letter"

It was said by the head of the evil forces (clan wolf guy)


Then the main character (name?) siad, NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Ste-

Pugwall and Pugwall's summer.


Used to love the Orange Organics.


And thought his g/f Jenny was well fit.

Fabritzo

If I'm not mistaken, they had a whole show on an imaginery train called the TCC Express, I remember them having 'risk a crisp' on that train and there was some other thing where u draw a small picture and they make a badge out of it for you....or was that a dream?:p

razorfeather

that train thing doesn't ring any bells..... (?)


so NO one remembers denver the last dinosaur?

it wasn't on TCC but i didn't think i should start a new thread for it....i downloaded the theme tune last night..lol

Fabritzo

Yeh, I remember Dever the last dinosaur, it was about a group of teens try to keep a big dinosaur a secret, no?! I'd say most people remember it and that's why they're not replying...reason that!?

I remember some teen beverly hills thing a bit more tho, the girls were hot :P (yes it was a cartoon)

Makaveli

I remeber the TCC express indeed.
I remeber the Beverly Hills thing aswell. Cant remember the name though and I can vaguely recollect the theme song.

I hated Denver the Last Dinosaur.

Mossy Monk

it was number 10 on my Cork Multi Channel MMDS box. when we didn't bother paying them anymore TCC still remained. i used to love that channel. someone told me that it still exists somewhere in Scandinavia

El Marco

lol, and I thought I'd never be able to relate to anything on this board. I used to watch nothing but TCC but alas I can't remeber any of the presenters or competitions.

To think it's still around!? I thought it would have been gone by now, considering I hated the channel just before nickelodeon came along due to repeats.

mcgarnicle

Ah TCC, many a fond memory of that channel. It's still around but i think its called trouble now, it used to be all cartoons and stuff but then they start showing more grown up shows (ie. madison and heartbreak high) these shows were a bit too raunchy for kids viewing i remember in the first season of heart break high some guy had it off with his teacher ( she was well fit). These were on for about a yr then parents groups must have been on so they changed their target from kids to teenagers and generally a more mature audience, so they gave it a later spot and changed the name. I remember Jed the scouser and Otis, he is on some BBC thing now called short change.

billy the squid

The TCC express was on saturdays and sundays and had such characters as bimbo the puppet monkey and rosey lee the tea trolley lady.

Steve and Danny did the competitions like risk a crisp and Cadge a badge where u send in a badge, they stick it on a sihluette of a steam train on the wall of the studio and in return their artist would draw a picture of the punters choice and make a badge out of it.

Steve and danny got a weekday show after that if i remember that right

dont remember which was the female steve or danny cos danny was spelt with a y and not an i

When the station started first they got into trouble with the broadcasting authority because their on screen logo was massive during programmes

some of the shows i remember god knows why

dr. snuggles friend of the animal world
masters of the universe was on it

does anyone rememnber that cartoon that was on it too "sparticus" the sun beneath the sea the theme tune was longer than the cartoon.

davej

Ok this is going back to when TCC first became available in Dublin. I remember Roustabout (sp?), they had a competition to name the show and if memory serves someone from Ireland came up with Roustabout.
I also remember "Bob's your uncle" which was this bearded guy who used to make/fix things.

What else? I remember roustabout used to show the spider woman cartoon. I remember that for some reason the teletext pages used to flicker up on the screen for no reason.

tbh I thought tcc was pretty poor quality. That tcc express thing was awful. They used to run it on a loop over and over... I remember one sketch about a guy trying to draw the perfect circle by hand.

davej

billy the squid

Bobs your uncle was on TCC but was on one of the terrestrial channels before hand i think it was BBC and then tcc re ran it

do you remember the thing that used to be on before roustabout called hotch potch now that was unadulterated garbage

La_Gordy

Omfg, the nostalgia!
Anyone remember Veid and Void on the Ratcan Rocket?? My picture was once on that and i too one a f3ck load of TCC stickers, caps and a mug that is still functioning.
K so anyone remember- Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
The female presenters name who used to feed those gold fish that kept changing shape probably due to death {brownie points if you remember the goldfishes names}. She had black curly hair and was fairly old. *ponders*

Ryo Hazuki

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Yes I remember it well.

Good animation from what I remember. the cars of course.

Kevok

Bah, your remembering all the newer cartoons towards the end of it's life.

You don't remember Mysterious Cities of Gold (have every episode of that :eek: ), Ulysses, He-man, Jayce and the wheeled warriors, She-ra, hell even Rainbow Brite and My Little Pony.

Cartoons these days don't even come close to the epic stories of the 80's.

La_Gordy

Mysterious Cities of Gold !!!

I loved that show! Did the kid ever get the other half of his medallion from that bloke?

Someone mentioned the presenter Jez or maybe Jed.That scouser bloke. He was a right retard.
