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?

Big Break!

Oh my gosh, I totally forgot Big Break! We're gonna be snookering you tonight.

Mine will always be Bread from my house, I was allowed to stay up later to watch it. And Gladiators & Baywatch from my grandparents house when I stayed over on a Saturday night. Such happy memories 🥰

Just remembered The Muppets.

ColMustardInTheLibrary · 13/02/2022 14:34

Aaah well if we’re going to talk muppets then we can’t overlook the awesome Fraggle Rock!

Along with tinned salmon sandwiches on white Mother's Pride bread and stork margarine. Followed by tinned peaches in thick sugary syrup and Carnation evaporated milk.

Oh yes, Sing Something Simple meant Sunday night bath.
GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 13/02/2022 16:02

I’m ancient, so the tune from Listen With Mother.

But some years later, when we finally had a telly, the theme tune from Rawhide. Rowdy Yates was my first crush.
