Rush home from school

[ailsasyl]

anyone remember the drama series Johnny Briggs, loved watching it, along with many already mentioned

[jackie j]

Just remembered some programes I used to watch as a kid The Wooden Tops, Bill and Ben ( I even went in the carnival dressed as little weed ), Andy Pandy, all in black and white of course.

We didn't have television as children, but is anyone old enough to remember "Quatermass and the Pit" and "Journey into Space" on the wireless?

I didn't have to rush home from school for this but I used to love watching Magpie, a type of magazine program similar to BBC's Blue Peter but I thought a lot better, more for the teenager at that time. In fact when I started work full time, I was quite upset that I wouldn't be able to see it anymore.

Also liked Ready Steady Go, much less wooden than Top of the Pops at that time.

The hillbilles was a favourite of mine I used to annoy my sisters cos they wanted to watch top of the pops.

Ooh yes! The Hillbillies! That was later on, though, wasn't it? Not after school?

I don't think I rushed home for anything, really, as Neighbours was on at 5:35, so no rush required! Thankfully, they now repeat it on fiver at 7pm, so I don't have to rush home from work, either

I hated Pob, though. The way he spat all over the camera made me feel sick, even as a kid! Loved Playschool, though and the Moomins! Was also quite partial to Tony Hart.

When my son was small he used to want to get home for Trap Door with the voice over by Willie Rushden, totally off beat program. (OK it was more me that liked it)

[jackie j]

When my eldest son was at nursery school in the early 80's we had to rush back at lunchtime for his programs they were only on for about 20 mins and if we missed them he used to moan about missing them, until we got a vhs video recorder, peace in our house again.
