What did you have at your childhood home that you dont have now in your current home?

M-M&M was the polite version of Rhubarb and Custard.
Hector's House was even more vanilla.

Methinks you are younger than me.

There was lots of weird stuff on in early 70s. Hammy Hamster driving speed boats on Tales From The River Bank. The Clangers, Magic Roundabout. Hector's House was one of my favourites.

Torchie the battery boy

There is a well respected rechargeable battery stockist/ seller, who operates under the name of 'Torchie'.

Remember the spoof version with Margaret Thatcher as the soup dragon?

Magic Roundabout

...and then there was the Jasper Carrott version...

But you missed off Captain Pugwash and Noggin the Nog.

Whilst you didn't need to be bombed out of your skull to watch these as an adult it certainly helped (or so I am reliably informed).

I got called that recently by another relic (my heated jacket has lights on the front)

I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when my mum rented a colour tv from Coop Electrical. It was a Bush. No remote control back then but oh joy watching football and snooker in colour!

My grandad got a colour TV first, and I remember watching the 1974 FA Cup Final. After that it seemed ages until we got one, but it must only have been a few months, because Dad finally got it for the Ali Foreman Rumble in the Jungle, so that would be October 1974.

The Herbs and Andy Pandy are the first TV shows I remember.

Ah, but qlwhich version of Andy Pandy? In the one I remember you could see thr strings. Flobabbadop?

I've only ever seen it in B&W, but I think it must be the 1970 version. The only thing I can really remember is when Looby Loo eats biscuits in bed and is really uncomfortable because of all the crumbs. That must have stuck in my mind as something not to do.

 

[jackflashh]

Wasn't that Bill'n'Ben the flowerpot men?

No, probably because she had to sleep on the damp patch.

Not seen those, must try to find them.

And who could forget Seaman Staines?

 

[JonathanM]

No, probably because she had to sleep on the damp patch.

She spilt her milk?

 

[ReganAndCarter]

She spilt her milk?

Obviously.
