Hi, I'm new to this forum and thought perhaps some of you here might be able to remember this kid's show that I'm trying to find.

I have only vague memories of it but if my description rings a bell with anyone please help! I'm so obsessed!

It was an english children's show, broadcast during the late 80's or early 90's.
It wasn't a cartoon but live-action, with people dressed up as animals in really good costumes. (It wasn't Bear in the Big Blue House, Sesame Street, Banana Splits, The New Zoo Revue or Zoobilee Zoo)
Was probably filmed in the US, UK or Canada.

There was a big white goose and a bear and other animals that I can't recall. They seemed to me the hugest lumbering animals. I think they wore clothes and bonnets or hats.
One of my friends remembers a dog called Bartleby, but I have no recollection of that.
They all lived in cottages in a forest and would visit each other and have tea etc. There was a white tent or bedsheet in one of the episodes. Think there was a pond. They were surrounded by very real-looking trees. Perhaps it was filmed in an actual forest?


If anyone can remember the name of this show.. please respond!!!

Thanks!
Cat

Maybe Teletubbies, my kid had it on and I awoke from a nap and one look at the show, thought I'd died and gone to heck.

lol no definitely not teletubbies. thanks anyway!

I remember the dog named Bartleby ... but I think that was on Fraggle Rock ... but on that show there weren't any bears or geese. Maybe Eureka's castle or another one of those Disney shows.

I think the dog on Fraggle Rock was named 'Sprocket'.

I see this topic is a little old but I'm going to try to help anyway. With so little info this is just a guess. I'm thinking of the show Dumbo's Circus. There's was of course Dumbo, and Barnaby The Dog, QT The Orangutan, Lilli The Cat, Lionel The Lion, Fair Dinkum The Koala Bear, Sebastian The Alley Cat. Please let me know if this is correct. I'm not on the boards often so email me if you'd like. Loki0717 AT yahoo.com

Hmm..it doesnt really sound like dumbos circus either, which was around the same time as Pooh Corner which was the same general Idea..but i thought those were late 80s shows. I dont really remember the dates though.
This is racking my brain but im not sure ive even seen or heard of this british show before..ive seen this question posted on the 80s messageboard too though

Im really starting to feel your pain now LOL because this is driving me NUTS. I would think that I would have to have at least HEARD of this how. And its not zoobilee zooh or poohs corner..the white tent and the fact that there is a barnaby(if you meant that instead of barnaby)makes you think dumbos circus..but then the cottages and tea parties thing doesnt match up..and then the giant goose..the only show that I remember a giant goose in, was on video tapes called"Mother goose stories and mother goose ryhmes" and the goose was named Bertrum. Hmm..I wish we had more details or something or more charactors. I know what its like to only have a vague memory of certain things though.

er..barnaby instead of "bartleby" that is
