Loved watching this, I am 54 now. It was wonderful days when I was little watching this, and living with my mum and dad. Great days. Loved Hammy the hampster xxx💜
Hamster: from the German hamstern = to store away. They can store away quite a lot in those cheek pouches. I've seen hamsters store away two or three hazelnuts (in their shells) down each cheek pouch.
Such happy times when I was little, Hammy Hamster & Friends was always a joy to watch - I'm nearing the old 6-0 this year and this is was a staple part of childhood - so precious
When i was a kid, my mum used to put this on TV. It was one of her favourite shows as a child, and it ended up being one of mine. I wanted all the animals.
I used to dig channels in the dirt and use sticks to build little cabins on the side. Then get myself a bucket of water and make a river. That was happiness when I was 5.
This was a wonderful programme that held me spellbound as a young child....magical, truly magical that expanded the imagination without the unnecessary proclivity for over sexualisation, violence, rudeness, disrespect and a sneerig attitude that I find prevalent on tv these days...
I wrote to the BBC in the early 60's asking about the delightful guitar music. They replied it was a piece written specially for them and recorded specially for thr programme. 🤣
Think we all had tiny black & white tv’s in those days, but still enjoyed this very much, my favourite was when they went flying, remember the pilots hat🤣brilliant.❤️🥰❤️👍
Oh my god I remember watching this on Animal Planet as a little kid super early in the morning. This has been in the back of my mind forever and I finally know what it is.
These are the ones I remember! I used watch it as a kid when home from school, along with Rainbow and Pipkins. After these Leonard Parkin would come on with the One O'Clock News...then after that, 2 or 3 hours of hell before childrens tea-time television came on. That meant suffering Crown Court, Good Afternoon and General Hospital in the background while I drew pictures or played with lego. Difficult childhood.
Crown Court is on RU-vid now. I listen to them on the way home from work and they last pretty much the length of the journey. Great fun for sporting future stars too.
Brilliant! If you find it then please stick it up..it's a scream. Those animals were top stuntrats. Certainly something that would never go into production today.
The funniest thing is that it’s based around Wind in the Willows but it’s nothing like it because they just have to make a script around whatever the animals want to do it’s always like “hammy is going to the shop- he’s decided he said going to eat and leave, and now hammy isn’t committing tax evasion!”
I knew something was different when the mouse's name wasn't Matty... but wasn't sure until I heard GP, who used to sound like WC Fields. This was my super early show at 5:30 or so when I would sneak down and watch TV.
