10 Totally Nostalgic TV Shows You Forgot About

Let's take a wacky walk down memory lane! Everyone's got that one nostalgic TV show from their childhood that's just... well, a bit out there, isn't it? From the quirky antics of game shows to the wholesome charm of witty sitcoms, classic TV has always been a wild ride.

Join us as we take a quick look back at some of the totally bizarre and bewildering TV shows you might have just forgotten about... somehow! These forgotten gems might just leave you scratching your head in disbelief.

Round the Twist

If you were ever lucky enough to watch even just one episode of this total 90s gem, the chances are you remember it! Following the bizarre and wacky adventures of the Twist family who move to live in a Lighthouse on the coast of Australia, you just never knew what was going to happen from ghosts, babies in a cabbage patch, and clones to magical hats. Oh yes...

Bernard's Watch

A total blast from the past, this late 90s British classic followed Bernard (David Peachey) who is given a pocket watch by a postman. The big twist? This can stop time! Bernard would use this magical power to help people out in their everyday lives. What a guy!

ZZZap!

Such a primary school classic, we loved getting to tune into the weird and wonderful antics and finding out which 'channel' we would be thrown into next.

This show was created with deaf children in mind, giving it a very visual, playful and sometimes wacky theme where nothing needed to be said at all. Neat!

What was your favourite channel? Can you spot it on our exclusive ZZZap! T-Shirt?

Keeping Up Appearances

The Bucket residence, the lady of the house speaking! True British sitcom royalty with 44 wonderful episodes that hit our screens from 1990-95, we follow Hyacinth who is on a mission to prove she's the cream of the crop and mingle with the upper crust. But there's a twist - her ragtag extended family keeps popping up, threatening her carefully crafted facade. Nightmare!

Bring a little of this telly icon into your everyday adventures with our exclusive Keeping Up Appearances T-Shirt.

The Queen's Nose

Another total 90s gem, we followed Harmony Parker who is given a magical 50p coin from her uncle that has the power to grant wishes when the nose on the Queen is rubbed. Proof that you should always be careful what you wish for, not every simple request turned out to be so simple with dramatic and weird consequences!

Button Moon

Ah, who doesn't love a nostalgic trip back to the whimsical world of Button Moon? Let's take a stroll down memory lane! Remember the enchanting escapades of Mr. and Mrs. Spoon alongside their daughter, Tina Tea-Spoon? From their epic bean tin rocket blasts into Blanket Sky to their heartwarming family moments, Button Moon stole our hearts in the 80s!

If you're like us and can't get enough of these cosmic adventures, you're in for a treat! Blast off to our collection of official, exclusive Button Moon T-shirts and wear your love for this beloved series with pride!

Rosie and Jim

Meet Rosie and Jim, the dynamic duo of the doll world who spring to life whenever the coast is clear! We joined them on their journey around Great Britain as they set sail aboard their narrowboat "Ragdoll," accompanied by their trusty boat owner. Together, they would dive into all sorts of adventures along the canal network, uncovering hidden gems and making memories that would float their boat. Can't lie, we found them a little freaky!

Finders Keepers

Feeding our neverending childhood hunger for total chaos, we always pined to get the chance to 'raid the room' growing up and be one of the teams who would turn a room upside down to find hidden objects based on clues. Now, we think the clean-up job would just leave us in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

Fun House

Speaking of chaos, another totally iconic UK game show that dominated our screens through the 90s was Fun House! Two teams (team red and team yellow) would battle it out through three rounds (messy games, fun kart grand prix and the fun house!). Are you even a 90s kid if you weren't desperate to go in the karts?!

Which team are you? Pick your side with our official Fun House T-Shirts!

Knightmare

Enter the nostalgia dungeon, fellow adventurers (also known as kids who grew up glued to CITV in the 80s and 90s)! If you were hooked on the thrilling virtual reality gameplay show where brave dungeoneers tackled challenges, braved perilous dungeons, and outwitted witches and jesters to escape the cursed place, then you're in for a treat! Don your helmet of justice, pack your trusty knapsack, and take a sidestep to your left... no LEFT, and check out our exclusive Knightmare T-Shirts!

Are any of these sparking some memories? We had a blast looking back over these.
