Yeah watched it loads as a kid!

By English do you mean a UK or USA release?

[groenewegendavid]

UK, then Australia.
Not sure about the US, but an English release has stalled for so long now. Rumour that Madman might release it, but next Feb 08, 4sure.

Didn't watch much tv as a kid, when we did have cable it was mostly for cnn. Though I did watch quite a few a few episodes of flying house and and superbook on vhs as a kid.

Hehe.  I loved this show as a kid.  I was convinced I hallucinated it, because nobody I met ever saw it.  Then the internet came along and I discovered lots of fan sites for it.

By "english release" does that mean the voices are dedubbed?

Indeed I do remember watching this as a kid but not very conciously! But I have a very strong memory of one episode I think they had climbed to the top of a hill and one of them said, "Wait, do you hear that?" and at that moment the ice cream van turned into our street playing its tune. When you're 5 thats amazing coincidence so it's stuck with me ever since! Anyway, fun show, but I doubt I'd go watching it again unless I'm 5 again sometime. :p

Great theme tune, too

I remember it well. Used to be on Thursdays, around four o'clock in the afternoon.

That and Ulysses 31.

Good times.

I loved it to the extent that I briefly believed I could control the sun using the power of a medallion, which I didn't have. I can barely remember it now.

I'm probably one of the handful of kids in the States who remember this show.

Well, by "remember" I mean that I can hum the chorus of the theme song, vaguely recall what the three children looked like, and recall that the girl character was so damn close to finding someone from her past (a grandfather, maybe) and I was upset when they missed each other by a few minutes.
