THE STORY OF....
Moomins : Hippo-like creatures that lived in a strange world, based on a series of books by author Tove Jansson. One book, was Moominland, Midwinter very spooky and melancholy!
Moomin Poppa had his memories, Moominmomma made sure nobody came to much harm (as is a mother's want) and Moomintroll was the main character and there were masses of episodes about a comet coming towards the Moomin planet and there was also Snufkin and Little Mi. Also involved were Too-ticky, Groke, Hobgoblin, Thingumy, Bob and of course, The Snork Maiden,
A bit of Moomin info:Moomins apparently woodland creatures living in Finland.
The current "top band" in Russia are "Moomentroll" who took their name from the Moomins.

Mooncat: First aired on April 9,1981. It's original title was called "Get Up and Go!" Beryl Reid did co-present it (or was probally a regular guest on it). It changed it's name to Mooncat in June 1984 and stared Stephen Boxer (previously thought to be Raplph McTell). The programme lasted untill September 26, 1985, where the following week it was replaced by "Puddle Lane". Mooncat then became Mooncat and Co.
Moshchops : A dinosaur that had to look after a flower. Was friendly with Mr Icthus and lots of other dinosaurs. The flower used to sing quite a lot too.
Mr Benn : No, not Rowen Atkinson. This bloke was very smartly dressed (bowler hat and everything). For some reason he always went into the fancy dress shop (demanding wife?) went in one door to get changed and would go out the other door into a great adventure. On returning home he would always find a momento of his visit in his pocket. Roy Brooks (later of Big Deal and many advert voice overs) did the voices and Don Warren provided the music.

Mr Men : Written by Roger Hargreaves these were small blokes (to be followed later by Little Misses) who represented some emotion (Happy, Grumpy et all), physical deformaty (Mr Tall, Mr Strong) or state of mind (Mr Bump, Mr Clumsy). At least one drawing would have a worm with a smiley face in it. All the other characters in the stories were human though, very confusing for a youngster!

Mysterious Cities Of Gold: An Excellent French/Japanese Anime series spread over a massive 39 parts. Follows Three children, Esteban, Zia and Tao as they travel across South America with three Spaniards in search of the Legendary Cities of Gold. There's a LOT more to the plot than this, and features absolutely fantastic animation and music. Everybody remembers that theme tune, and the most remembered image is surely of the Great Golden Condor flying so gracefully across the sky!
