PRAY SILENCE FOR THE CATHODE RAY TUBE.....
Catweazle : Mysterious druid type man transported in time by one of his spells. Mad as a hatter and had a toad called Touchwood. Mad early 70's kiddies sunday tv programming which was totally watchable. Made by LWT if i remember rightly!
We are the champions : Crap school sports day type programme where school batteled it out in a perrenial 3 legged race followed by some mad jumping in a swimming pool! My scouser mate katy was in it once. Pictured is the presenter, the late Ron Pickering.....
Metal Mickey. Bit of a twat he was, nice hair. Used to eat fuzzbombs or something. little bit too "whacky" but did have an old granny saying "fruitbat" lots!
Magpie (or poor man's blue peter) : Always won because they had better looking birds and were a bit more risky. So here is a photo of Brian May bubble head type, Mick Robertson!
Screen test. Crap observation programme. I.e. like the Krypton Factor without the 3d jigsaw and assault course. Presented by Michael Rod (show in mid flow!) who was pseudo science presenter daylighting on a dodgy kids show. Oh how the mighty had fallen. If i remember rightly he was a presenter on Tomorrow's world too? Can anyone Help?
"un-de-groun, over-groun, womblin three, the wombles of WIM-BLEEE-DON Common are we" as my mum used to sing. Not only were they local boys, there was a stroke of genius which tied their voices up with the legend that is Bernard "I played a copper in a Dr Who film" Cribbins. It was a match made in heavan and thus a legend was born.
The Adventure game. Think Krypton Factor, think Mensa, and now think Maggie Philbin, Moira Stuart and a talking plant. Yes this show had it all, and pictured to your left is the spine chilling Vortex where you get a chance to see your favourite celeb being vapourised in front of your very eyes. I think only cheggers (see below!) managed to beat it with a stroke of genius. Very odd, yet compulsive viewing!
Another catchy theme tune introduced the legend that is Keith Chegwin and his "cheggers plays pop" show. A musical genius with a clothes sense to book, he had a publicised fall from grace but has been called by members of MIRMIS as "the man with the midas touch!". An exclusive interview will appear here when i can actually locate it. Its very funny, he is taking the mick out of Paul Daniels.....good shout!
"Ello little lady" The kind tones of the warm hearted Chorllton against the welsh banter of the mad green witch, mad mad, if slightly frustrating TV!
