Cait Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 oh yes the Clitheroe Kid - I can remember sitting in the car, listening to that on the radio whilst my parents went to visit my Nana in hospital - in the days when children weren't allowed on the wards! Sing Something Simple - Friday nights I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) Listened to the Clitheroe Kid on I player BBC7 the other week.. also Navy Lark...

Panders Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) He certainly was Boo Boo! Any picnic hampers, campers? I helped mum with the Sunday lunch listening to the Clitheroe Kid, now this one's off the wall a little - what about Wakey Wakey! Billy Cotton's Band Show - even as a young child I would wait for Russ Conway to come on the show playing the piano and wink at me - just me mind you - he never winked at anyone else! OMG - fancy getting crushes at such a tender age. Edited July 30, 2010 by Panders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it. Weren't they two different programmes? The Lightning Tree was about a farm with horses on it, but the tree had been killed by a bolt of lightning but the girl kept watering it in the hope that it would come alive again. White Horses was on the BBC, can only remember the opening titles with lots of white horses galloping down the beach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inge Thornbirds was an adult programme - about an ambitious priest who was in love with a young girl in Australia - he goes through lots of torment yatayata eventually he takes a sabatical and they get together some years on in the story, but goes back to the priesthood - think it was racy shall we say for the time it was made and quite a slow developing story compared to the dramas of today.

A bit slow to develop maybe but Richard Chamberlain made it all the wait worthwhile. I also loved the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueJ Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Nobody's mentioned the test card yet or the national anthem at switch off time (if you were allowed to stay up that late) !!!!! and what about children's tv that finished at 6pm after which the grown ups took control to WATCH THE NEWS Then there's morcombe and wise and christmas tv specials When there were no programmes on we also had a picture of a windmill and a couple of carthorses - a very early screen saver perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquieL Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Remember the interludes. One was a potter at his wheel making a pot and the other was a one minute train ride from London to Brighton (?) ..well I think it was one minute. As for Richard Chamberlain does anyone remember Dr. Kildare. I had a Dr. Kildare blouse which I felt very wonderful in. It was white with sideways neck buttons.

Inge Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 What about during the 3 day week in the 70's when t.v. finished at 10p.m. Now 3 day week conjures up very different memories... Power strikes... and lack of candles... mum had an oil lamp which was so useful.. and I vividly remember going out to a local 'disco' and putting my make up on while on the bus! No light at home so it was the only way... Oh and Dad complaining about the petrol prices when they went to 70p a Gallon! Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
