Re: Programs from one's youth

Crikey. Loads of progs there, some I've heard of and some mightily obsure!!!

My old fella was a TV repairman and was also a bit of a hoarder. Thus we had TV's everywhere in the house.

On the subject of radio, used to like listening to stuff on Radio Luxembourg, but can't recall any of the names.

Re: Programs from one's youth

My first and vague memory of the box would have to be Wally Whyton singing the big ship sailed on The Alley alley oh.
Eventually moved on to Captain Scarlet, Lost in Space and Ace of Wands.

As for the radio, Junior Choice, they used to play that song by Val Doonican about a toy that made strange noises and did odd things.

Happy memories of waiting for the test card to disappear! Then watching that big circular countdown clock before, eg "Experiment".

Does anyone remember staying up late to watch some Open University programs in the vague hope you might actually understand any of it?

Endless Summer's okay, surely?

Early 70s Saturday Morning: Flashing Blade/Banana Splits/Tarzan - before turning over to Tiswaz...if I recall.

In love with Bagpuss to this day and also any Arthur Lowe narrations [Diary of a Nobody is on Youtube, so beautiful.]
