Title: TV 40 years ago
Post by: stoop on November 16, 2009, 11:19:35 AM

That's really sad Stoop. Sad because I remember them all :o.

As for Kenneth McKellar - never liked him. Stayed at a hotel I worked at in London. Swanned about the place as though he was some kind of huge star.:(

It's extraordinary how one thread leads to another. I was a clapper/loader on Z cars in my formative years at the BEEB.Only one of actors could drive at the time and the Corporation ,in their wisdom employed a "diminuative" bloke to operate the foot controls - exciting and scary at the same time. Health and safety - I don't think so but never a dull moment ! ps for all you Ulster folk it was one of your own who actually had passed his test!

And 40 years on people are still dumping their fridges in laybys

My kids find it entirely amusing that there was once a time when there were only 3 channels, and to change them you had to walk to the telly :D
