Old TV Programmes

Seeing as I have blown my meagre bankroll on poker, my chess site is down and I have trawled the net .... I'm now resorting to posting on blonde (arrgghhhhhhhh just JOKING mods).

For some reason, i woke up this morning thinking about Tales of the Unexpected ... does anyone remember that?    Something about that siloutte lady and catchy theme tune that made it a 'must watch' in our house.

Hammer House of Horror was another one that I remember always feeling excited to watch - the House that Bleed to Death :-)

Any old TV progs that you think could do with a repeat on one of the numerous channels we have aviable these days??

Tales of the Unexpected? You are older than you look, young lady.....

Sunday Nights, ITV. After Sunday Night at the London Palladium, if I recall correctly.

Tales of the unexpected is always a favourite of mine when playing drunken charades.  

No need to mess about with how many words, syllables etc..........just straight into "whole thing" mode and my version of the dancing lady is always guessed within five seconds flat!!

Sundays we always visited Grandma Angell because she had a telly, & ITV used to show this.....

Church Service

Popeye the Sailor Man

Lord Boothby

Tugboat Annie

Bonanza

Sunday Night at the London Palladium.

If we watched the end of the Palladium show, we'd miss the last bus, & have to walk from Shepherds Bush to West Acton, about 5 miles. If not, we'd catch the 88 to Gypsy Corner, & walk from there, or the 606 or 666 TrolleyBus to Acton High Street, or if we were lucky, the 667 Trolleybus to Acton Main Line.

Later, Dad got a "combination", which is a motorbike & sidecar, & we (my Sister, Half-Brother & I) all piled into that & froze to death in the unheated "Watkinson" Sidecar. The boke was a BSA 500cc long-stroke single-cylinder ex AA jobbie. £35 the lot.

hold on, I remember now - I'm sure it was on video

Would love to see some repeats of the Tomorrow People although it was probably not as good a programme as I remember it as a nine year old!   

Anyone else make a huge Tomorrow Person belt so they could make their own imaginary "jaunts"? 

Just me then.....
