Andy Pandy. Trumpton. The Magic Roundabout. All in black and white. The test card. As soon as the BBC 6 O'clock news started it was time for bed. Children knew their place! Oh, & when the television was turned off it would cool down to a white spot that I had to put my finger on! When I was a bit older I remember literally hiding behind the sofa during an episode of Dr.Who (The Cybermen). There was no daytime TV. For anyone.

Watching The Sullivan’s, and Take the High Road at my grandparents house during the school holidays.

The bit at the beginning of Bagpuss when it goes from sepia to colour
Vague memories also of The Incredible Hulk

Anasnake · 05/03/2018 21:25

It's a knockout - late 70's, and Bagpuss, Monkey Magic and Playschool.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 05/03/2018 21:42

A very clear memory of watching Cheggars Plays Pop, when we lived in a house that we left when I was three. Obviously I didn’t know what it was at the time but I do remember the logo.

BishopBrennansArse · 05/03/2018 21:43

First episode of Eastenders

PissedOffNeighbour · 05/03/2018 21:46

Play School and Play away

We got our first tv in 1966 ready for my dad to watch the world cup. I was 10. I can remember him falling off the chair with excitement when England won and that my mum had gone out to the library in a sulk because she didnt want the football on.

Mybabystolemysanity · 05/03/2018 21:49

Sitting on my Dad's knee aged 4 watching Holiday'88 in what's now the downstairs bedroom at my parents house. We'd just moved in and it was a complete wreck. I miss him a lot.

LaceandChintz · 05/03/2018 21:57

Handful of Songs in the early 1970s.
Loved that programme

theliverpoolone · 05/03/2018 22:26

The Flowerpot Men. Then Hickory House, Hectors House, Playschool. And White Horses, and Belle and Sebastian (both dubbed and in b&w).

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 05/03/2018 22:29

I don't remember the first programme but I do remember thinking that the people were actually inside the television.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 05/03/2018 22:31

Pigeon Street and the Narnia series they made in the late 80s.

mineofuselessinformation · 05/03/2018 22:32

Mary, Mungo and Midge.
(Outs self as to age.... 😮)

GnotherGnu · 07/03/2018 20:31

Popeye, Pussy Cat Willum, Ollie the Owl and Fred Barker. I thought Ollie was the epitome of wit.

Curlyshabtree · 07/03/2018 20:35

The Sunday serials mid 70s

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 07/03/2018 20:46

Another one for Andy Pandy and Flowerpot Men. (I apparently cried when Andy waved goodbye) a Disney programme introduced by the magic mirror (which put the shits up me) Kennedy's assassination.

Armstrong on the moon, got to stay up late for that.

CoolCarrie · 07/03/2018 21:17

In fact my grand father insisted that I get up for the landing, as he was very excited, he was born in the Victorian era, and now could see people on the moon.
