Playing my Joker - It's a Knockout!

Shudder - MF! You are Alison Steadman, and I claim my Abigail's Party Souvenir Programme.

[gil] I thought long and hard for a classic British 70s film, and it was either that or The Children's Film Foundation

Anything from Play for Today... such as The Elephants' Graveyard, Just A Boy's Game, Scum - not forgetting Martha's nomination of Abigail's Party.

And, of corse, Saturday mornings would not be the same without Space: 1999, followed by World of Sport (with Dickie Davies at the helm), and the wrestling at 12.00. Of course, all of this is to be enjoyed whilst lying on the sofa, consuming chutney flavour Outer Spacers.

Anyone remember that crazy programme called Bookroom? Went out about ten to three or ten past three on winter afternoons on BBC1. had I think Tim Preece in it somewhere. Was set in a staff room type dreary room, orange sofa, and the three presenters kind of acted it in a sort of Tony Hart/ Mr Bennett way, bantering ansd bitching a little with each other and discussing books. It was totally strange and only viewed when you were off sick so i have no idea who it was supposed to appeal to. In factI had totally forgotten about it since the Seventies until I dreamt about it the otehr night. asked a few of my colleagues who vaguely remember it too. here's the weird bit...i've now checked and find it never existed! ow bizarre to dream a memory...

You don't mean The Book Tower, do you?

No, the Book Tower was dear old Tom and scasry Lloyd Webber theme! Book Room was it seems just my own weird mind dreaming it up. Some dream of winning the lottery...I dream of the Seventies!

Mmmm, Pye!

The Sweeney and I'm sure it's "Weebles"

Testing out rusty HTML skills Hawaii 5-0 Book 'im Dano

Christmas crackers containing Whimsies^TM. Much better than Weebles. Or even Blimpy pens.

[Pye] Yes, me too. Dreaming of being trapped in my cot with that scary clown on the curtains grinning down at me, and dribbling on Woolly Sheep.... ah, the 70s!

Enduring memories of Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky also known as The Banana Splits although the site says "originally broadcast 1968-1969" - not where I grew up it wasn't.

And if the lips move when no sound is coming out, and vice versa, it must be Monkey.

Or The Water Margin!

I see your Water Margin and raise you a Flashing Blade

Cannon, Kojak, Charlies Angels, Chips, and dare I say it, Starsky and Hutch?

Richard O'Sullivan in ITV's Dick Turpin on Saturday evenings (when it didn't clash with Doctor Who of course!).

Who the hell was it in Man About The House and Robin's Nest, apart from Paula Wossername and Sally Thingummy, the toothy one out of The Railway Children??

That was Richard O'Sullivan, was it not?

[rab] Yup, I think you're right. I'll nominate poor old Yootha Joyce in George and Mildred instead.

Cliff Michelmore, Richard Whitmore, Michael Aspel, Richard Baker et al doing There Is Nothing You Can Name, that is anything like a Dame...

Nationwide with Michael Barratt!

Aha! those Barratt Homes adverts with the guy with the big chopper.

I refuse to make any more TV references, go to TV Cream instead and relive those childhood telly moments.

OK maybe On the Moov aids to literasy.

La la la la la,
La la la la la,
La la la la la, la la la la la,
Do do do do-dooo, Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Give us a clue No, that's not a 70s telly reference, I really WOULD like to know what that la la etc. is about :-D

Sounds like "Lovin' You", as memorably performed by Linda Smith in Pick Up Song. (emphasis on "memorably" :)

This'll bring back a few memories. Mind, you, the Belle and Sebastian theme isn't the one I'd expected (Lonley solo boy sings whistfully... )
