Those Were The Days

Is this the correct rundown of what we got to watch between 1pm and 1:30 ?

• ANDY PANDY
• RAG TAG AND BOBTAIL
• TALES OF THE RIVER BANK
• BILL AND BEN
• PICTUREBOOK

We were lucky enough to have one of the very first tiny screened television sets on our street in the 1950s which made me very popular with my mates who always joined me in watching the westerns after school such as:

Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid, The Range Rider, Hawkeye, Rin Tin Tin, Cheyenne etc

I also remember you couldn't move in our front room during the 1953 coronation ceremony.

As I say, those were the days. I only hope the younger generation can look back as fondly on their childhood as I did.

We were much more upmarket than that. Our 9 inch telly had a huge water-filled magnifier in front of the screen so that it was really a 14 incher (but with bent edges to the picture if you weren't exactly in front of it).

Hello,

I wonder if there is a TV set website out there somewhere with its very own collectors section.

I can remember going absolutely aperplectic when I got a Joe 90 spy kit for my Birthday. A pair of his special specs, a walkie talkie, and that little gun, complete with moderator, all in their own little briefcase. Wish I still had it!

However, none of those series can hold a candle to Captain Scarlet!
