Best Kids show of the 1980's!

The Raggy Dolls was the best kids show of the 1980's, I grew up watching the show and my parents bought me the dolls when they where released.

My favourite character was Lucy (the sweet one who kept falling apart at the seams) I think every child could relate to one of the characters because they where all so different and unique.

Lucy and Princess shaped my life as a child! It sounds silly now but when your little your life can revolve around certain things. And they had such a big role in my life and made me so happy as a child.

If only they would release the raggy dolls on DVD!! like that have so many other cartoon series' from the 1980's! If there is anyone out there listening.. We gotta see the raggy dolls on DVD it was massive when it was on TV. I think it would be just as popular on DVD.
