Monday Memory Meme
I’ve been tagged by Alpha Mummy to share a memory.
For a number of years I’ve been having sort of flashback memories of a childrens television programme that was set in a greenhouse and the character was a green monster thing that would plant a seed, a story would take place and the plant that grew from the seed would flower the exact item required to help in the story.
Well today I decided to do some internet digging and try and find out what that programme was. I searched under google for ‘green fingers’ as I thought that’s what the monster thing was called.
Well it turns out that the monster was actually a giant caterpillar and the programme was called Greenclaws it was aired on CBBC in 1988, I was 5!
Erin and I just watched the first episode on Youtube, she loved it 
I checked if they sell dvd’s but unfortunately not, so we’ll need to watch them all on Youtube.
Do you remember Greenclaws?
Now I tag @YummyNo1 and @pippad and @notsuchayummum to share a memory.
It’s weird how precise in time children’s programming is – I don’t remember this as I was too old (I turned 21 in 1988!) but even during the gap between my 2nd and 3rd (8 years) programmes have changed so much! I thought I’d have nothing better to do than drag out all their old videos/toys/stuff and Paul would be delighted – no chance! There’s whole new ranges of merchandise out there – the turnaround time is frightening.
MrsW – and yet I bought Erin a button moon dvd and she loves it! Perhaps once she’s a bit older she’ll realise how unfashionable and dated it is
Oooh, I remember this too even though I am a little older than you! Did the girl helper have a really annoying accent if I remember rightly though? But I did used to like it!
So now you’ve tagged me, I’d best be getting on with mine…
He was a caterpillar? I always thought he was a Dragon… or some kind of mould growth. Well live and learn eh?! Oh and thanks for the tag… shall have to think of something that I can share that won’t frighten you all away!
I don’t remember Greenclaws at all despite being just a tiny bit older than you.
Not sure YummyNo1 but the songs were pretty bad
Strange that Rosie…
Sadly I do remember Greenclaws slightly. I was 13 in 1988. So that’s the sad bit. I did have two younger brothers though.
Sorry I’m a bit late to the party! Busy week at work!
I remember this! I used to love it and mither my baby sitter to put it on. (I was 8 in 1988).
Thanks for the tag, I’ll have a ponder tonight!!
