BBC2 did have -- 8.00 The High Chaparral & 9.10 - Broaden Yor Mind with Tim Brook Taylor and Graeme Garden.

Those were the days

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

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!

1.55 Tipyn O Steil

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

Que ?

[Scunner]

The telly Frank lol
