martoon Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Used to channel hop between Swap Shop and Tiswas on a Saturday morning. I had to get up off the sofa and walk to the telly to do it, though. Also loved Grange Hill and Murphy's Mob amongst others. American stuff was always a bit strange and psychedelic for me. Banana Splits did, however, have a terrific 3/4 Musketeers cartoon that made it worth watching. I couldn't watch HR Puff'n'stuff, though. Witchy-poo scared me to death as a wee lad. Crap telly was plentiful too. Blue Peter was excruciatingly English and middle class. Probably still is. Chanced upon it about 10/15 years ago when Konnie Huq (sp) was presenting. She was making something with paper machete and said to camera that the kids would need plenty of old newspapers. "You'll probably find some in your father's study". I could imagine some wee kid in a Glasgow tower block asking his maw where da's study was. Although, as a teen in the mid '80's, I did watch it now and then because of Janet Ellis.

Jamhammer Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Not really kids but there weren't many things me and my dad shared growing up. He doesn't like football that much.
