# I am entirely convinced it was Poparound
Mind you, I thought that other kids' show which had 'Pop' in the title had a cow in a tree and it turned out to be a monkey.

[edit] We are both right: freespace.virgin.net/greg.taylor1/watched_it/run.htm
(about halfway down the page it mentions Poparound).

# cows didn't start climbing trees until early 1997
so that was foolish.

but look at the link I just changed it to... you are CORRECT!

"Gary Crowley (yes, the bloke who presented The Beat) hosted a spin-off called Poparound based on music questions, and using gold and silver disks as the scoring tokens."

# Hurrah
Now what was the name of that other show, with the monkey in the tree? Pop-something.

It's going to bug me for the rest of the day now.

# No, I remembered now
It was Pipkins.

The monkey-cow thing was called Topoff.

I think there was a dustbin too.
