1952: Something to scratch

This is a neat little joke. The hirsute man on the left can scratch his own head. The bald man on the right uses the docile dog instead.

Those kids must have been watching children's hour, remember that?

Was it 4 to 5pm or 5 till 6pm? Can't remember but they showed Blue Peter Magpie all that stuff. There doesn't seem to be a Children's hour now
You're just showing how young you are, Summer.

For me it was Andy Pandy, the Wooden Tops, Muffin the Mule and others.

1953: The amateurs competing with the professionals

Brockbank is doing what he knows best. He is clearly giving an accurate account of what actually happens.

5:00 until 6:00pm. Nowadays though there seems to be several children’s channels, with programmes on all day!

Thelwell did a comparison cartoon too. Rough shoot compared to posh shoot. I have the book somewhere. He did fishing cartoons as well.

1953: Special spectacles

I have a vague memory of participating in this sort of thing. We were all handed these cardboard specs with a coloured space in front of our eyes. Was the effect to make it seem three dimensional? I’m not sure. Certainly, this innovation did not take root.

Usherettes in smart uniform? Don’t see that nowadays.

Well I remember them and, yes, they worked (the glasses, not the usherettes), although the 3D images were monochromatic.

Re: The Pages of Punch

I remember those too. We used to make our own from discarded sweet wrappers so we could look at the novelty 3D stories in some comics. Not good for the eyes.

1953: “Deprivation”

Such innocence! What does she think that Henry is missing? Were ear trumpets the only aid afforded to the heard of hearing in 1953? I would imagine that hearing aids were already available – though not as tiny as they are now becoming.

1953: Castle adaptation

What is the point here? Using this bathroom this is not exactly cosy but it is hardly torture.
