Cultural references the ‘young uns’ don’t get

[Peculiar23]

Called someone at work ‘Victor Meldruw’ and got looked at blankly. God, I’m old
Anyone else ??!!!

I recently rewatched it on YouTube It was in colour whereas I thought it was in black and white when I was a child, but maybe we hadn't got colour TV

Juke Box Jury had pop stars or what passed for celebrities at the time on the panel usually.

Here's Janice Nicholls looking very sixties 'dolly bird' 😁

ETA: And on JBJ they held up 'hit' or 'miss' rather than give scores

Sorry but it was Jukebox Jury.

Sorry but you’re wrong. Juke Box Jury didn’t give numerical scores, it was judged on ‘hit or miss’. ‘I’ll give it five’ was a catchphrase coined by then teenager Janice Nicholls on the show ‘Thank Your Lucky Stars’. The show featured a Spin-a-Disc segment. Guest DJs and a teenage panel would review new songs, with Janice Nicholls being one of the teenagers on the panel.

And the author was a Scouser himself !!

Nicholls coined the phrase in a Brummie accent and the public adopted it - it was actually also recorded as a song.

"You've all done very well"
"Thank you Mr Grace"

Wassat button over there for? Ah ah ah ah ahhh!
My friend lived near that car lot in Shepherds Bush where "Allo John' was filmed. The cars were mostly priced at £49.99 or £99.99 for more "luxury" models. They were unsafe heaps of junk with dubious MOTs and we went there a couple of times posing as customers to take the pee & haggle to a rather nonchalant car salesman.

I always sing I’ve got the key, I’ve got the secret when leaning the house….

“Open the box!”
”Take the money!”

I am not a number; I am a free man.

Was anybody else in the Tufty Club?

Yes me! "Look right, look left, look right again, and when it's all clear, cross the road."

Another one lost on the DC when we see an animal head mounted on a wall: "He must have been going a hell of a speed!"

I think this is why I wouldn't want a relationship with someone who wasn't my generation.

Yes, still got a badge somewhere.

I got a blue Peter badge for designing a cake

Drat, Drat and double drat - Dick Dastardly
Officer Dribble... I mean Dibble - Topcat (The cop are sometimes referred to as the Dibble by Mancunian jack the lads and I bet they have no idea why)

Here's one I made earlier - Blue Peter
You need an empty washing up liquid bottle and sticky back plastic - Blue Peter
Ask an adult to help - Blue Peter - Often used today in situations with difficult or dangerous piece of equipment, like an iron or washing machine.

I don’t remember what dangerous thing Tufty was doing but Mummy couldn’t call out a warning as she was hanging out the washing and had clothes pegs in her mouth ‼️

Whenever I see someone completely messing up a simple task, I shout 'You're doing really well!' in the style of contestants cheering each other along on The Crystal Maze.

Not read the full thread yet so someone else may have said these already but...

Maureen me love

And I'm so glad others have posted 'just the one Mrs Wembley' as I'd started thinking I'd dreamt it because no one I was saying it to got the reference!

I'M ON THE PHONE
Me and my DH to each other whenever we hear someone talking really loudly on their phone.

Maybe as far back, maybe not. Esther Rantzen used to say 'And finally Cyril'

Also his Midlands accent lampoon is wrong He says 'Are yow alright?' pronouncing the w it's more like 'yo'

Where does this actually come from? Uni friend used to say it! I thought he’d just made it up!

I loved That's Life. Sausages!
