While we’re on about children’s TV - anyone else remember Willo The Wisp?

The delightfully camp Kenneth Williams. Mavis Cruet and Arthur. Just wonderful.

Daddy? Or chips?

'Texan - sure is a mighty chew'. (They were horrible as I recall).

'Choc ice and chips? Don't tell your mother'. (Can remember the tagline but have lost all memory of what this advert was actually advertising!).

Anyone remember Pocketeers? Was desperate for the fruit machine one and was given it for Christmas in about 1975.

Pocketeers yes, I couldn’t remember what they were called, so thanks for that. We had this one

Slightly concerning if Matey really did clean the bath

Run VT Errol (DH and I say this whenever the other one has the remote to put an episode of a box set on, and argue over who has to be Errol)
