On the radio this morn the talk,has been about life changing events in our childhood. ...Viz.programmes on the tv image

For me Casey jones, Popeye and the Magic Roundabout bring back memories.  I even had my own words for Casey.  

On the comedy front Ever Decreasing Circles was brilliant.  I was supposed be like the guy Martin was jealous of....can't remember his name for mo.  

So folks,.....childhood tv and best comedy from the past?

    The man from UNCLE was my fav. Closely followed my Mr.Ed the talking horse, every time the wife shouted "Wilber" I used to chuckle. Did like SKIPPY..the bush kangaroo & Flintstones. Land of the Giants, first thing I saw in colour.

    Comedy..Sooo many..today I'd say Open All Hours..or maybe not..Steptoe & Son..I could go on and on.

    When I was a child we had an old black and white telly that you had to thump to stop the picture going down! Then when I was about 12, wondrous, we got a colour one.

    When very small, I liked Bill and Ben the Flower Pot men. Comedy - Topcat, Popeye and Huckleberry Hound. We weren't allowed to watch lots of TV, but Blue Peter had parental approval! I wrote to Pussycat Willem once (shows my age) and Valerie Singleton wrote back.

    Then I liked anything with horses in it, like Fury and Champion the Wonder Horse.

    When I was older and married I liked the Good Life.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    I'm now going to be singing the Tra-La-La song all day image

  • I loved Champion the wonder horse too, but I loved Count Duckular and Ivor the Engine when the dragons appeared. Watched the last two with my son.
