Title: Who Remembers This.....
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on August 20, 2006, 18:54:06
.. TV series??

Obviously I'm not going mad, as there's a web-site & the theme-music in this site (http://www.mark-hammond.co.uk/music.htm)

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

It was voted the best TV theme ever (http://www.geocities.com/thewhitehorses/dailyexpress.html)

'White Horses' website (http://www.geocities.com/thewhitehorses/)

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

Go on, someone must remember it

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!!

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.

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

"Look Petunia, he's waving at us" :lol:

I'm sure I saw a CoastGuard (public information) advert on TV the other night??, I don't think I was dreaming?
(my dreams usually involve Halle Berry, the Dixie Chicks, Tyra Banks & Caprice )
