oh i used to love casey jones lol,but dont remember if they were re runs,i was born in 1964 so i dont know if i saw the originals or not,but i do remember the wodden tops and pasley the lion ,but i think that was the late 60s?.xx :-) :-)

MUST BE REPEATS ...SOB
MY MEMORIES WERE IN THE 1950'S

We had a small TV in 1953. My Dad used to love all the westerns thatw ere on. I remember the Lone Ranger and Tonto. Bet we'd find the pictures awful now, small and black and white and often with 'snow' on them. and breaks every so often. remember the potters wheel and the sea gently breaking on the shore?

we ways had a tv as far as i can remember
mind i was born in 1956
but the programs didnt start till tea time
then a anchor would appear to the tune of bobby shafto

and our dog used to sing to the tune

I remember them all. There were so many cowboys on tv then and I loved watching the horses.......even if they did speed them up a bit!

I remember Andy Pandy, Muffin the Mule (I had a metal puppet of Muffin with red strings), Picture Book, Bill and Ben......weren't they on at teatime?

I think it may have been in the 60s when I used to watch Rawhide with Gil Favor and do you remember Sugarfoot. How did it go.......easy lopin, cattle ropin Sugarfoot.....

As well as the 'snow', remember how the picture would start to roll over or the sides go narrow. We always seemed to be twiddling one knob or another didn't we.......Horizontal Hold or Vertical Hold.....don't have those on modern tvs.

We used to think a 26inch tv was TOO BIG for most rooms as well !!!! lol

I remember our telly had a lousy reception and no BBC2 :-(

i had the bill and ben toys,they had wire inside and they were the new bendy toys of the late 60s. :-D :-D

oh i will always remember DR WHO in the late60s,themusicwouldcome on first and then his face would appear,it terrified me and i would hide behind the sofa.x

I was brought up by my grandparents and I can remember my grandfather used to watch 'Tonight' every evening with Cliff Michelmore on our small 12 inch black and white TV.

I was a PC on the beat circa 1955. A pub had a giant screen which you could view from outside.

I'd never seen a TV like that and was watching avidly when a plate of sausages appeared on the screen.

I couldn't work out the connection at first, but it was the first night of commercial TV in our area. The advert was a brand new experience. Think we were all naive in those days.

Happy days

Tuesday - Andy Pandy
