Random musings and general banter.

Just a bit, secretly, I wanted Dick Dastardly to win. Maybe just once.
He wanted to, so very badly!

The number 7 car. The Anthill Mob in their Bullet Proof Bomb,

 

[Slipalong Trevaskis]

Oh no! Don’t tell me that!
I wanted one soooooooo much.
It seemed like the ultimate in cool.
If I’d have had one of those, I’d have been James Bond. And not the George Lazenby one, either….

I could never get a decent picture on mine. That doesn'tmean others had that issue.

The number 7 car. The Anthill Mob in their Bullet Proof Bomb,

My son used to love Wacky Races, and he was born in 1996, so it was obviously still being shown then. He has all the models of the cars.

I have a sneaky suspicion that it was quite usual.
Sir Clive didn’t have exactly the best reputation for quality control!


Mind you, compared to IW…remember IW2 selling all those watches with skipping mechanisms and, quite literally, hands that fell off on camera.

Hello fabulous shoppers. I've left for QVC. Byyyeeeeeeee

Me too. But the message to us kids was that cheats never prosper. I loved when Muttley used to laugh when his master had an accident!

I was never a fan of Peter Perfect or Penelope Pitstop.

hmmm TJC claiming to have sold 34K of W by William Hunt EDT ...

This time of night is strange for them selling this in a slot labelled Gold by Kieran and Kim !!

 

[Dr Quincy MkII]

My dad worked for a copmpany that made life jackets and life rafts. We used to have a version of that tape at home all the time. Very handy stuff

Rob is like a breath of fresh air

 

[Dr Quincy MkII]

Rob is like a breath of fresh air

He did an intro where he had music and he did the voice over and applause and came on and said 'I'm told that's how you're supposed to do it'

 

[Dr Quincy MkII]

Rob is addressing us directly about the new studios. He says it is definitely happening, but now April. He's like 'Yeah Rob that's never gonna happen' but he says they're doing the electricals now

I must be older than you, I remember Torchy the battery boy, Four Feather Falls, Supercar and Fireball XL5. All made by Gerry Anderson before Thunderbirds, early 1960,'s. Wacky Races and Scooby Doo were on when I was at senior school.

Hard to remember tv so looong ago , first programs i remember were Watch with Mother which had The Wooden Tops, Andy Pandy, bill & ben, also watched sooty, Grampian Tv's Romper Room with Lesley (the do bee song ), then in primary it was things like Fireball XL5, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Thundbirds, little later remember things like How, Magpie, catweazle and Black Beauty.

 

[Herring]

Live scenes from the IW warehouse.

The phone lines were in meltdown so the shoppers came direct

no one wanted to miss out on those exquisite bedding sets

 

[Dr Quincy MkII]

Not sure what time of the day all these came on, but remember watching some as a kid and some as a teenager at secondary school, ranging from the late 70s until the late 80s/early 90s. Danger Mouse, Bananaman, Count Duckula, Terrahawks, The Trap Door, Bagpuss, Mr Benn, Wilo the Wisp, The Wind in the Willows, Button Moon, The Magic Roundabout, Emu's World, Jamie and the Magic Torch, Mr.Men and Little Miss, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, The Sooty Show, The Basil Brush Show, Cockleshell Bay, Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds, The Littlest Hobo, Captin Caveman, Superted, Thundercats, The Raggy Dolls. I I have no doubt that there are many more, but these are the ones that come to mind at the moment.

All of the ones you mentioned plus Mysterious Cities of Gold, Battle of the Planets, Defenders of The Earth, Jig Saw, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street, Star Trek, Quincy, Hart To Hart, Supergran, Crossroads (to see if they fluffed their lines), anything with Fred Harris or Johnny Ball, Animal Magic, The Really Wild Show, Take Hart, Hart Beat, Knight Rider, The A-Team, The Fall Guy, Buck Rodgers, MASH, Magnum PI, Airwolf, Battlestar Galactica, No. 73, Art Attack, Saturday Superstore, The Wide Awake Club, Roland Rat, Press Gang, Doctor Who, Sapphire and Steel, Dempsey and Makepeace, Dallas, Falcon Crest, Morcombe and Wise, Little and Large, Cannon and Ball, Hale and Pace, Lenny Henry, Ben Elton, Alexei Sayle, Blackadder, The Pink Windmill, The Adventure game, Knightmare, there are so many shows I'm probably forgetting important ones

Does anyone remember Noah and Nelly in Skylark? I tried to explain it to my sister, but she kept looking at me as if I was having an episode, so now I think I might’ve dreamt it. I think I might have to Google it.

I remember that. Wasn’t it Richard Briers? Pretty sure that at some point he said ‘All aboard the Skylark!’. Not sure if anyone else remembers ‘The Flashing Blade’ a bit Musketeery, French and dubbed. I seem to remember this was very popular on a Saturday Morning, usually this or Robinson Crusoe.

 

[Kit10]

Because we’re all great big silly old Hectors.

What was the name of the frog in Hector’s House?
Was it something like Madame Za Za?

I think Kiki was the frog!

Sapphire and Steel are on ITV X at the moment, watched it quite recently. David McCallum was wonderful.

Fireball XL5 is regularly on Talking Pictures, a great channel for Saturday Morning cliffhangers! King of the Rocketmen, Flash Gordon, and Comando Cody! Does anyone remember Disneytime? Little clips of Disney films usually transmitted at Easter and Christmas? Oh, and this may have been mentioned before, Clapperboard ?
