Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5 (with Micky the monkey), Stingray (anything can happen in the next half hour), Daktari (with Clarence the cross-eyed lion), The Man from UNCLE, The Virginian and Robinson Crusoe (Swiss production, I believe). Blue Peter was for posh people. Jenny Hanley was fit in Magpie. Andy Pandy had cotton wool balls.

Test Card

 

I remember that one. Didn't do much.

 

[JetsetBkk]

First Dr Who episode, best theme music, by Ron Grainer.

 

 

Delia Derbyshire of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop went on to join David Vorhaus in the band "White Noise" whose album "An Electric Storm" had the most amazing electronic music...

The High Chapperal and Hogans Heroes were the US imports I liked .

Dr Who was always a favourite, they filmed one episode near where I lived ( Shipley Glen, West Yorkshire) and me and my mates went to watch , the Daleks were pathetic, couldn't move on the rough grass !!
We were gutted !!

But one of the best TV highlights was wrestling !!, some characters on there and of course as kids we thought it was real !! [emoji23][emoji23]

I was, and have to confess still am a bit of a silence fiction nut....so

Doctor Who

Blakes Seven

Space 1999

And to a slightly lesser extent.....Star Trek although I did get more into it as I got older. I think I just didn't get it when I was a kid.

Oh my god, yessss, did you ever see The Bad News tour, and 5 go mad in Dorset ?

Happy Days and Mash. Came out when I was in the sixth grade. Loved Hogan's Hero's and The Big Valley..

The daily 7pm show was Truth or Consequences,  with Bob Barker.

Reruns were huge back then. I loved seeing Leave it to Beaver, The Monsters and The Adams Family..

All In The Family was cool.lots of spin offs.

And the ever loved Monkey Magic - a staple for sitting on the lounge room floor in front of after school.

 

Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
To tease the Gods
And everyone and have some fun
Monkey magic, Monkey magic
 

etc..

[Get Real]

The 8 a´clock news! Always more mystery there than anywhere else. Contunue with that here too, but now it´s even more mysterious and it´s right in your face in the morning. Get like an "out in spece with aliens" experiance for every single breakfast. Just like using drugs, but without the real drugs. High on Thai-news! An addiction to take very seriously.
