The Real Maroonblood Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I remember something at school where we would rub our fingers on either side of our chin towards someone and say Cheesy Boakin...can't for the life of me remember wtf it was all about. Remember catching folk out by telling them that if their hand was bigger than their face, they would die before they were 21. Once they put their hand over their face, you slapped their hand against their face as hard as. Getting chased off the Parkie for playing football on the bowling green. Remember that.Drinking water from the brass mug at the well. The rowing boats and paddling pool at St Maragrets Loch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Not sure if mentioned, but does anyone recall the Ancient Monuments series? Short films that used to be shown between children's programmes ca. 1970s. The focus was always on a particular Abbey or Castle-often the standing ruins, and the cinematography was, well let's just say it was experimental. There was a narrator who told stories about bloody battles (cue camera speedily zooming into the castle wall and picture shaking) from history. This 'battle' would all be accompanied by the despairing cries of men in their death throes, before peace was heralded by a piece of medieval music on a fyfe or lute. Quite bizarre.

Seymour M Hersh Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 All our yesterdays on ITV was a weekly documentary programme about WW2. I always remember it being on a Sunday in the late 60's early 70's. Cannot find head nor tail of it now via tinter web. I think it might have been made by Granada but that may be incorrect.

¼½¾ Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 All our yesterdays on ITV was a weekly documentary programme about WW2. I always remember it being on a Sunday in the late 60's early 70's. Cannot find head nor tail of it now via tinter web. I think it might have been made by Granada but that may be incorrect. From wikipedia. All Our Yesterdays was a television series, produced by Granada Television, giving an historical account of the 1930s lead-up to the Second World War and to the war itself. It relied on black-and-white film footage, and may be considered a precursor to the later Thames Television World at War production. Whereas the latter is available on DVD, it is not known whether any of "All Our Yesterdays"" survives. The series ran weekly from 1960 to 1973 and from 1987 to 1989. The format was a studio commentary, supported by newsreel clips that had been shown in cinemas 25 years ago that week. The final series concentrated on 1939. The years to 1964 focused on the build-up to the Second World War, mixed with more lighthearted fare. The series continued mostly with war footage from 1964 to 1970. A measure of comic relief was provided by wartime cartoons, especially by Osbert Lancaster for the Daily Express, with captions read by actors. The presenters were: James Cameron ? 1960 to 1961 Brian Inglis ? 1961 to 1973 Bernard Braden ? 1987 to 1989 One wartime newsreel which found a new audience was "Hoch der Lambeth Valk". This propaganda film of a Nazi rally, with goose-stepping parades, had been re-edited, reversing some sequences, so the marchers appeared to be dancing "The Lambeth Walk". The effect became a favourite. The title of this series alludes to Macbeth's soliloquy in Act 5 Scene 5 after Lady Macbeth's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour M Hersh Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 From wikipedia. Thanks for that. I remember it when Brian Inglis was presenting it. I guess the programme itself was lost by Granada at some point which is a pity as I remember it being good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@VladMagic Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 There is one thats bugged me ever since I was a kid because I know I have watched this cartoon but I cant remember what it was called. i also cant find anything on the net mainly because I cant be 100% sure what it was called? Anyway I will try and describe it as best I can and hope it triggers someone to name it. This will be late 70's early 80's. I thought it was called "Otto". I'm wrong because a search brings up nothing. Anyway. "Otto" was like a little black winged animal. Don't think it was a bird? It definitely flew though. He would "whistle to his friends" and loads of them would appear and fly around together. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
