Aah Ace of Wands one my favourites, So cool I want to be Tarot when I grow up.
Does anyone else hope they will use up the spare bandwidth on CBBC / CITV by repeating some of these great kids classics for us old timers - much better than eastenders and Corry!

Vision On too - such imagination and creativity from what was pretty limited technology compared to what's available for childrens' TV now. It still looks so much better than anything on kids TV today

One of the best albums of the 80s was 23 Skidoo's "Seven Songs"- they made a set of videos to accompany the album, I saw it years and years and years ago, and at the time it blew me away- I was just getting interested in Psychic TV and related matters at the time, and this seemed to be coming from a similar area but with better music. Anyway I just found some of it on YouTube and enjoyed it for the first time in 20 years or so:

Vegas El Bandito http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgIr7r0baVs&feature=related

There's also this- not sure about the dancers but just to see the band on the BBC is remarkable:

The 23 Skidoo self-titled comeback album of the mid-90s was probably the biggest musical disappointment of my life, incidentally.
