I must be older than you, I remember Torchy the battery boy, Four Feather Falls, Supercar and Fireball XL5. All made by Gerry Anderson before Thunderbirds, early 1960,'s. Wacky Races and Scooby Doo were on when I was at senior school.

You will not believe this, I wouldn't if hadn't of just read it. This is part of TJC's serenity bedding collection. They have either had these made for them, or picked out these designs. Who was the buyer who selected them? David Blunkett and his guide dog.

Scooby doo and scrappy doo, and wacky races was shown during the 80s. I think lots of stuff got repeated. I used to like watching On the Buses and Some mothers do ave em (obviously repeats). Not cartoons or kids shows, but made me laugh.

Same ITV2 often show Carry on Films and On the Buses films on Bank Holidays before my time but I enjoy them

Also old repeats of George and Mildred I find funny, I was born in 1975 so was a nipper when they were made

Perhaps, I was born late 60's. I remember having a black and white TV, colour one I think was early 80's and you had to press the buttons to turn on and switch channels, oh the horror.

Indeed repeats were "a thing" even back then.

I'd still watch On The Buses now tbh.

Coming up an item every household needs, Do you need a ROLSON. Electronic Safe Box.

 

[galesgal57]

I left school in 1973, Some Mothers' do ave 'em started that year, still makes me laugh. I think Scooby Doo and Wacky Races were first shown in the late 60's, early 70's.

I had quite a major stroke 2 years before, which damaged my eyesight, and my dad thought I’d be okay with a 2 inch screen

 

[Slipalong Trevaskis]

Your dad might have been able to send you with a normal sized TV, because one license will have probably covered the whole college.

Because we’re all great big silly old Hectors.

What was the name of the frog in Hector’s House?
Was it something like Madame Za Za?

Just a bit, secretly, I wanted Dick Dastardly to win. Maybe just once.
He wanted to, so very badly!

Oh no! Don’t tell me that!
I wanted one soooooooo much.
It seemed like the ultimate in cool.
If I’d have had one of those, I’d have been James Bond. And not the George Lazenby one, either….
