Game for a Laugh 1981
This show must of been a very bad idea when you consider the careers it launched into
television presenting.
(The)
Generation Game 1971
With Anthea Redfern, Bruce Forsyth produced one of the greatest
family shows of the 70's. In 1981 Larry Grayson took over, then back to Bruce and
currently Jim Davidson.
George
and Mildred 1976
This was originally a spin-off from Man about yhe house. Originally the Ropers were the
landlords for the lodgers, but proved so popular, they landed there own series.
Give us a
Clue 1976
This has Una Stubbs and Lionel Blair written all over it.
(The) Goodies 1970
A brilliant (in its day) comedy made up of Bill Oddy, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme
Gardener, who due to ignorance or ingenuity lived a life of pure fiction. Classic episodes
included a great kitten in London, the need for the human race to wear string vests,
scaring old women with a Nicholas Parsons face and the time when they appeared in
"It's a Knockout" trying to find a golden egg from the
Jack and the Beanstalk giant. All these and many more have given it a cult following over
the years.75 episodes were made in all. A fan club is still going strong today on the
internet.
Grandad 1981
This was about a doppy old Grandad (Clive Dunn from Dad's Army) and the silly things he
got upto by trying to be young again.
Grandstand 1958
Still going strong every saturday afternoon. So not much nostalgia there.
Grange
Hill 1978
You can't beat the original cast. Tucker Jenkins, Justin Bennett, Benny Green, Trisha
Yates, Alan Humphries, Michael Doyle, later on, Pogo Patterson, Suzanne Ross,
Gripper, Zammo and Roland.
(The)
Golden Shot 1967
Every sunday afternoon after The Big Match was Bob Monkhouse, a squeeky blonde and Bernie
the Bolt shooting at targets for prizes.
(The)
Good Life 1974
Th e mix of classes work so well between both neighbours, a very pleasant family sit-com.
Heads
and Tails 197?
Derick Griffiths strumming away to little animal stories.
Hectors
House 1968
This is a very distant memory of mine about a dog called Hector who I think used to drive
a car and live in a house along with a frog possibly called Kiki and also I think there
was also a cat called Za Za. This has got French production written all over it. The
episode would always end with Hector saying "It's lucky for me I'm such a great big
sensible old Hector"
Help!
It's The Hair Bear Bunch 1971
Oooo..Oooo. Mr Peevely. A great Hanna Barbara production with an invisible motorbike for
the 3 bears to ride around the zoo on.
(The)
Herbs 1970
Each week we would be let into the Herb Garden if we repeated the magic words "HERBIDACEOUS!" or something like that.The characters included
Constable Knatweed, Parsley, Sage the Owl, Aunt Mint and Dill the Dog. This was another
Michael Bond of Paddington fame production.
Hey Look,
Thats Me! 197?
A bit of a poor mans Jim'll Fix It, with an annoying song that I still have in my head to
this day "Hey look that's me, doing what I want to do, seeing what I want to see,
hey, look, that's, me." How annoying!
Hong
Kong Phooey 1975
We all know how frustrating it is seeing Spot the Cat doing all the work and Hong Kong
Henry getting all the credit. C'est la vie. Henrific!
How ! 1966
A magazine show with Fred Dinenage, Jon Miller, Bunty James and Jack Hargreaves answering
HOW things happen. I want to know HOW my scanned picture got so crystalized Fred?
Houseparty 197?
Days of school guaranteed one thing, boring women on Houseparty showing off knitting
patterns and how to pluck eyebrows, incredibly boring but quite nostalgic.
Huckleberry Hound 1959
The only one I can remember is as the picture shows, Huck is a postman and their is a Mutt
who wants to shred the living daylights out of him. Apparently other weeks he would be a
knight or a snake charmer.
Inch
High Private Eye 1974
This mini dwarf was able to get to places that no one else could due to his size. He was
known as the "Worlds Biggest Little Detective"
(The)
Incredible Hulk 1978
Every week he told someone "You won't like me when i'm angry", and without fail
every week he would get angry, turn green and several shirts later calm down again.
I loved this as a kid. Stuart "ha ha ha" Hall and Eddie
"up and under" Wearing commentated and refereed a 70's (they did it first)
Gladiators. With Jokers doubling the points and the marathon to build up points on, it all
lent itself to a hilarious competition. It really hotted up when meeting European teams,
in what was known throughout Europe as Jeux Sans Frontiers (JSF).Peter Gabriel first
brought this to my attention.If anyone has anything associated with IaK or JSF, then
please E-mail me.
ULTRA NOSTALGIA !

It's the
Wolf 1970
Cracking little 5 minute cartoon about a sheep dog guarding a lamb from a fox. Usual
Tom and Jerry plot.
Ivor the
Engine 1960
Nothing special here. A bit of a animated Thomas the Tank Engine.
