Family Favourites on a Sunday lunchtime
Family Favourites on a Sunday lunchtimeTV is a bit modern for me. I grew up with the wireless on all day for my mum -- Housewives' Choice, Music While You Work, Mrs Dale's Diary, Workers' Playtime with Wilfred Pickles and Mabel. Apart from Listen with Mother there wasn't anything for kids. But there was a sci-fi series called Journey into Space and Radio Luxembourg had Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future (from Eagle comic) sponsored by Horlicks, which I belted home from Argonauts (Sea Scouts) on my bike to hear.
I think my gran got a tv when I was 15 and the only progs I recall were Amos 'n' Andy and at some point the sci-fi drama Quatermass, which we had to visit a friend's house to watch for some reason. The Goons' version was better.
Just thinking back to when I was young and what TV programmes I used to enjoy watching -
...
What were your favourites?
Yep, forgot about Time Tunnel ... it was goodAs soon as you said that, I thought of "Land of the Giants"
Remember "Voyage to the bottom of the sea"?
Oh god yes, The Wooden Tops & The Flower Pot Men I used to love Dr Finlays Casebook and Dixon Of Dock Green.Och aye, Janet, or Dr Finlay's Casebook, can't remember there being any diabetics, this series probably predated diabetes. Dr. Kildare: OMG, a thing about doctors apparently! All Creatures Great and Small, vets now. I had a friend who could do a fantastic impression of the dog in Wooden Tops.
The woman was Bunty. I remember because of the magazine/comic.Fred Dineage and Jack Hargreaves, can't remember the others.
Do you know what Mike, oh yeah, really loved it, Kowolski!, as soon as I read your post, how could I forget The man from U.N.C.L.E.
I even became an agent! Had my own badge and number!
Napoleon Solo & Illya Kuriyakin!
Always liked David McCallum, still watch him in NCIS!
Hated them baddies!

It was thrown out by mistake, when my ever cleaning mother decided to throw out my stuff, when I left home, not realising, what she was throwing out.
There was other really valuable to me items, that went the same way, at the same time, certificates, landmarks, sports programmes school stuff and a few books I wanted.
Ho hum!
