JacquieL Posted July 25, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 25, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquieL Posted July 25, 2010 Share 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!

Upsy Daisy Posted July 25, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2010 Share 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!!

Inge Posted July 26, 2010 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upsy Daisy Posted July 26, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted July 26, 2010 Share 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?

Panders Posted July 26, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
