JacquieL Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Inge I saw Godspell as well ( didn't get to meet the cast though) and I loved Rag tag and Bobtail as well. I have Robin and Rosie as Grandchildren and someone gave them the Cockleshell Bay DVD Quote
Fredbear Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Me thinks a lot of you could be good at this months quiz as your all reminiscing of old children's and some more recent tv programmes. Go on give it a go, kept me awake most of the night aah, uum, i know it i dooooooooooooooooooo. Quote
Cait Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 Cockleshell Bay DVD Ooh - is it out on DVD? I've got the books at Preschool and they are popular Quote
Guest Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 i loved david essex. Smith and jones. Bodie and doyle but my very very favourite was the Bay city rollers!!! A funny tale to tell though!! My friend and I wanted to go and watch them at granada studios in manchester but knew our parents would not let us!! We told them that we were sleeping over at each others houses and instead went and camped out all night for tickets we were so pleased to be first in the queue and when news at ten filmed us saying'these dedicated fans have queued for many hours' we waved and smilied at the cameras!!!! Silly girls-we were seen by both sets of parents, relatives and friends galore and although we got tickets we were not allowed to go. I cant beleive I was so bad it definately was the naughtiest thing I ever did!!! Quote
Cait Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 hahahahaha that's so funny (I bet it wasn't at the time though!) Quote
HappyMaz Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I cant beleive I was so bad it definately was the naughtiest thing I ever did!!! But it would have been so worth it had you pulled it off! Quote
JacquieL Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Cait I've checked with number one son and he tells me the Cockleshell bay is on a compilation DVD and sent the amazon link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000063...ASIN=B000063KN3 Oh and it's got Chorlton on it ...absolutely love that! Quote
Upsy Daisy Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I was a Davy Jones fan too although David Essex's eyes were captivating - and still are! I can still remember the opening credits and CHiPs and Eric Estrada on his motorbike. I liked a bit of Bergerac too. But most of all I loved Fame! I had the LP of Fame songs and played it for hours on end. I reckon I'd still be word perfect. Quote
Guest Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 David Cassidy - listening to crackly radio luxembourg for him singing 'it's one of those nights' my sister and I were never allowed to go to his concerts BUT we saw him a few years ago - brought back all those teenage feelings/hormones (if you closed your eyes and didn't actually look at him) Loved David Essex too, but not as much as DC. Have some of his songs on my ipod now! Kid Curry Ben Murphy in Butch cassidy & Sundance kid Hutch behing the sofa for William Hartnell too!! Roger Quote
Pimms o'clock? Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Evening Cait and all ...was there anything else from the newspaper in the attic to get us scratching our grey cells? BMG Quote
JacquieL Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 and for those of us of a even older certain age do you remember Muffin the Mule? http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/children/muffin/muffin.wav I use to love David Attenborough as well , actually still do...... Quote
finleysmaid Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 THE PROFESSIONALS! brilliant that's what i was trying to think of ...annoying when you can't think of names.....must be the age ok so Magpie or Blue peter? Quote
Inge Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Magpie... (have a badge here still from winning one of their comps... a photo one.. ) Blue Pater used to have too mush 2teaching2 in it for me.. really didn't like the long winded explanations and history lessons etc.. and muffin was definitely before my time.. sorry, Inge Reading this has reminded me of Dads phrases while watching things like professionals etc... " Its coming to the end now they are going up" and as I watch the occasional rerun it is so true..near the end, during the last chase they always go upwards.. a ladder, a building, etc... and even now I see it happening in new stuff.. near the end the in the chase.. up they go!

Guest MaryEMac Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 This thread has brought back so many memories. David Cassidy was all over my wall. Hutch was my favourite as was Eric Estrada in Chips. Also going back a bit it was David McCallum as Ilya Kuryakin in the Man from Uncle. Mary Quote
Cait Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 Do you remember The Invisible Man then? Haha Actually, Zebedee and I are enjoying the REALLY OLD Mission Impossible series at the moment as our son bought him the boxes sets for Christmas. Woo - bring on Willie and his muscles - never noticed as a child really!! hahaha Thanks for Amazon link! Quote
Cait Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 Oh - I wasn't allowed to watch Magpie - it was on ITV you know! aaaargggh! Quote
Upsy Daisy Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Also going back a bit it was David McCallum as Ilya Kuryakin in the Man from Uncle. Mary Do you remember The Invisible Man then? Haha I'd forgotten all about David McCallum. I never missed an episode of either. Is he still around? Quote
Upsy Daisy Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Don't forget Peter whatsisname who played Joey (first one) in Bread. Oh and the guy who played Vince in just good friends. Quote
Rea Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Me and my frond were talking about Joey just a couple of days ago, how strange. The first Joey was the best I thought. The guy in Just good friends was Paul Nicholas, he had a singing career too remember Dancing with the captain? Who used to watch the Double Deckers? Quote
Panders Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Far be it f rom me to stop the teenage hormones swilling around here, but how about Twizzle or Torchie the Battery Boy? Personally, I never missed an episode of The Avengers, either new or old. Quote
Cait Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Double Deckers? oh - and enjoy eating 'em too! YUM!! Edited July 26, 2010 by Cait Quote
Cait Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 My daughter loved "Jamie and his magic torch" - but that's only going back about 25 years or so, small fry! Quote
sunnyday Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Anyone remember little Joe on bonanza? Absolutely!..............I'm humming the theme tune now! Quote
Inge Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Man from Uncle.. never missed an episode.. remember going to the 'pictures' with a group of us to see a film too... David McCallum is still busy..... regularly watch him even now in NCIS.. Bonanaza.. was Dads favourite.. never missed that one.. yes I was happy to watch Little Joe.. and vividly remember 'Hoss' too. And Paul Nicholas... particularly as Vince... but have seen him several times on stage.. enjoyed him as Barnum.. Magic Roundabout... Zebedee. was my fave in that... then there were the Wombles... Tobermorey and Uncle Bulgaria.. Moomins...used to read books about them... Not forgetting.. Worzel Gummage and Catweazle Inge Quote
Cait Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 Ooh didn't like Wurzel Gummidge. Bit freaky. Quote
