80s Kids TV: The Shows That Shaped Our Childhoods! 📺🎶

This week on Old Mates New Laughs, we’re diving back into the golden age of 80s kids' TV! From Saturday morning chaos to after-school must-watches, we’re reminiscing about the shows that defined our childhoods.

🦸‍♂️ The best (and worst) TV villains

🎶 Theme tunes we still remember word-for-word

📺 Shows we thought were amazing… but were they really?

🤔 The ones that definitely wouldn’t be made today!

Plus, our usual dose of nonsense, nostalgia, and Andy’s One-Star Film Review!

Join us for a trip down memory lane, and don’t forget to tell us your favourite 80s kids’ TV shows! 🎙️✨

Old Mates New Laughs Podcast

Welcome to the Old Mates, New Laughs Podcast page – a place for those of us who grew up in the 80s, survived the 90s, and are now wondering how the hell we got to middle age so fast!

We’ve been mates for 40 years, which means we’ve seen it all – from dodgy 80s haircuts and 90s Britpop, to the joys (and struggles) of being responsible adults (sort of). Our podcast is all about looking back, laughing at ourselves, and figuring out how we got here. Expect nostalgia, bad jokes, and a healthy dose of sarcasm!

We know that our podcast is nothing without it's listeners, and this is where you come in:

Reminisce – Share your favourite memories from growing up in the best decades. What were your favourite kids TV shows? What toys did you play with?

Debate – Whether Blur or Oasis was better (or if you were too cool for both)

Laugh – At the stuff we all thought was normal back then

Relate – To the joys and disasters of hitting middle age

So, if you remember life before the internet, still miss Woolworths, and wonder how we’re now old enough for back pain… you’re in the right place!
