I remember being particularly attracted by Celestine, though at my age then I wasn’t really sure why.

I have just rechecked and meant young Angelina not Celestine who was the old woman. 

Just in case there were any safeguarding issues...

Battlestar Galactica: Sunday tea-time. We used to have 2 TV aerials - Yorkshire and Central & they had the show at different times - so I used to be able to watch an episode in one room & then go to another and watch another one, yay!.

Thunderbirds

Terrahawks

Battle of the planets

Dangermouse

Count Duckula

Bet not many remember Watch With Mother. Not sure of which specific days they were on but there was Picture Book, Rag, Tag & Bobtail, The Woodentops, Bill & Ben The Flowerpot Men and Andy Pandy (with Loobyloo). 

A real fan would remember which day they were on ?

Monday: Picture Book

Tuesday: Andy Pandy

Wed: Flower pot men--my favourite

Thurs: Rag Tag Bobtail-- never liked that much

Fri: Wooden Tops

Seem to remember a woman with a dancing lamb on a piano, maybe a different era!

Wasn't the dancing lamb called lamb chop? Very vague memories, but maybe subconsciously it set me up for a life of disappointment following the rams.

Only just/Very Vaguely.

The title certainly, but I couldn't recall any plots and/or character names.  (They'd probably ring a bell if I was told, but I couldn't come up with them myself.)
I might be just a tad too young?  (b. Jan 63)

The Virginian was at its peak around the time you were born so unless you were a particularly precocious baby you missed the best episodes. All the episodes in those days were film length and the cast included top actors. By the end of the 60s the TV companies were turning away from Westerns. One of the top executives ordered that no shows should be set in the countryside because the advertisers didn't like people who lived in the countryside. Apparently, they didn't buy much. Alias Smith and Jones was one of the few western shows that started after the 1960s but that was more of a comedy show than a Western.  It was a Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid spinoff.
