One for Compo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG_5rpX4LTY

'Till Death' showed bigotry for what it was to anyone with half a brain...the trouble is most of the 'anti racist' brigade are too thick to see it...hence the blackboard and black sheep stupidity. Th

Yes, they were a bit scary, Compo but the stories were always great. Just the thing to watch before going to bed...lol

First TV shows I remember watched on the only telly in the neighbourhood was Whirlygig on a Saturday afternoon with the main puppet being Mr Turnip, voiced by Humphrey Lestoq. Coincidentally, Antiques Road Show last week had a Mr Turnip puppet in original box, valued at some amazing price, was it about £800?

That reminds me.....what about "Whirlybirds". That must have been early 60s too.

When we got our first telly used to dash home from school at lunch to watch Emergency Ward 10. Used to enjoy Sunday Night at the Palladium, Dixon of Dock Green and the Black and White Minstrel Show. Remember a series with Robby the Robot, possibly Lost in Space, but not sure.

Don't forget a variety of intermissions and programmes made by Hans & Lotte Hass. Some of the programmes are relatively recent but it does demonstrate it's about time Coronation Street was knocked on the head!

They were the underwater wildlife programmes, weren't they? And on land it was Armand & Michaela Dennis.

Zoo Quest with David Attenborough is going back a bit as well.
