For me it is Ski Sunday.

I don’t ski, yet I loved this show and this tune.

Anyone else fancy a musical trio down memory lane?

Radio rather than TV, but:

on Radio 4 Saturday mornings. If I heard that I knew we were going away. Df used to listen to it over breakfast before packing the car.

White Horses
Onedin Line

The Joan Hickson era Miss Marple theme. With the wonderfully drawn opening sequence. I was rather too young to be watching it I suspect, but that music is so much a sound of childhood evenings.

Always the Littlest Hobo. And it'll now be in my head for weeks!

SpinningBob · 13/02/2022 11:22
