Nostalgia

Oh, yes! I did love Crackerjack! Leslie Phillips and Peter Haynes (?) - and all those cabbages...probably wouldn't be allowed these days (mistreatment of vegetables etc. )

Anagram Prudence Kitten was before my time too but Fred Barker, Ollie Beak & Pussycat Willum were on Five O'Clock Club with Wally Whyton & Muriel Young.
Glammanana I had to google Bill & Ben and the only human mentioned was
"The Man Who Worked in the Garden"

What about- It's Friday, It's 5 o'clock & it's CRACKERJACK!!!

I remember Bill & Ben and little Weed from the flowerpot men but who lived at the bottom of the garden ? my mind has gone blank was it the old farmer ?

Why is it that I remember absolutely nothing about Prudence Kitten or Pussycat Willum? When were they on?

The Man from UNCLE- my favourite!
The Untouchables
Supercar (with Mike Mercury, Mitch the Monkey & Dr Beaker)
Crossroads
Robin Hood (with Richard Greene, my childood crush)

Ollie Beak was on with Pussycat Willum, wasn't he?
My husband still has his Prudence Kitten puppet.

Wally whyton was pussy cat willums friend.....and talking Mr Ed the horse..

Champion the Wonder Horse .... I can still remember the theme tune!

I remember Pussy Cat Willum and a song that went something like
"ABCDE goodbye from Willum and me, FGHIJ we'll see you another day, KLMNO it's time for us to go, PQRSV and the cat went fiddle i dee", don't know what happened to the rest of the alphabet maybe it was savaged by Fred Barker! Also remember Thank your Lucky Stars and the singers of the day performing their song through a swirling mist on the studio floor, I was about six or seven and my Saturday night treat was watching it eating my dinner in front of the t.v. instead of sitting at the dining room table.

The first series I really loved the year I moved to London 'Rock Follies' and my first Musical, the original HAIR, followed by Jimy Hendrix, Leonard Cohen, the Who and the Stones, at the Isle of Wight.

Lennie the Lion used to have me hiding behind the sofa....

Life with the Lyons on the radio....

The clitheroe kid ,the Navy Lark,Two Way Family Favourites from B.F.P.O 40,sing somethin simple,Billy Cottons Band show all while sunday roast was cooking Twizzle and Pussy Cat Willum Arthur Haynes was always up to his neck in muck and bullets....is it my memory was Nicholas Parsons his side kick, Dickie Henderson,Russ Conway and 'Ello my dahlings ..Charlie Drake..he had a non returning boomerang lol xx

I remember the Dave King Show with Yana and Arthur Haynes. We were allowed to stay up on Saturday night and I would sit on the sofa between my mum and dad watching it. Magical!

sargent Bilko,Ilove Lucy, the Lyons,wooden tops,watch with mother,Rag,tag and bobail....Daleks and Dr who used to freak me out,and a programme called Haunted starring Patrick Mower [now in Emmerdale]

Quatermass used to freak me out, but I loved it. I expect it would look very tame now.
My favourite watching when ITV came out was the Murraymints advert (too-good-to-hurry mints)
My family used to enjoy Dixon, Emergency Ward 10, Billy Cotton Band Show, Black and White minstrels (made me feel rather uncomfortable) and of course Watch with Mother and Muffin the Mule.

Children of the Stones....absolutely freaked me out when I watched it in the seventies.
