.. TV series??

Obviously I'm not going mad, as there's a web-site & the theme-music in this site

I've asked various collegues/friends & no-one can even remember it, or the music.

It was voted the best TV theme ever

'White Horses' website

The singer is Jackie Lee, the same lay who sang 'Rupert The Bear'

Go on, someone must remember it

not trying to hijack the thread ,but two films spring to mind when asking about old programs and they were...

diamonds are forever and puff the magic dragon i think they were around 1969/70

oh the memories :lol:

marjan · « **Reply #15 on:** August 21, 2006, 08:35:53 »

Yep, unfortunately I have to admit that I remember the series well. If I remember right it was a foreign series dubbed (very badly) into English.

"White Horses" was one of the perennial programmes of the shcool holidays; it was trotted out (sorry!) year after year, and due to the scheduling of the programmes to acommodate London school holidays, which started a couple of weeks later than ours in the Midlands, we never did see the end of it!!

Elmo · « **Reply #18 on:** August 21, 2006, 11:28:17 »

Yup, I remember white horses as a youngster.

Had the same slot and rotated with Robinson Crusoe (with the annoying parrot which said "Poor Robin" all the time) and Belle & Sebastian, which was about a mahoosive dog and a kid as I remember.

blacknight · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2006, 13:41:30 »

Don't remember much about it, but do remember the program title and music.

Bush Tucker Man · « **Reply #20 on:** August 21, 2006, 15:38:51 »

At least I'm not going senile & it did exist on British TV

'Elmo', I thought the massive dog & the girl was 'Crystal Tipps & Alistair'??

Currently watching/listening to VH1 Classic. The adverts have just come on and guess what music the Clarks advert has, yes White Horses.
