Oh yes I remember Hammy the Hamster or Tales from the Riverbank:
and just because I love this show still at 32 and would watch it if it were on Today's Special:
You're welcome for the Herc clip, I'm pretty sure youtube has full episodes on the site, if I remember correctly they were short episodes or 3 episodes to make one full show, jesus my brain is getting sore thinking back to the 80's, as long as hair bands stay out of my thoughts I'm ok.
Baraka did you know they did a Hammy the Hamster (Tales from the Riverbank) feature movie?
