Your first memory of TV?

[SteveAs]

Mine was watching England vs Germany in 2001 with my dad and uncle while my mum and aunt went to the pub

Watching snooker on a B&W TV. Added an element of surprise trying to work out which coloured ball was which.

@BlueBagoo - but then you had commentator Ted Lowe, who famously told viewers “ "Steve is going for the pink ball - and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green."

For some reason, best known to my three year old self, I sunk my teeth into my poor Dad’s big toe. He screamed. Loudly. The Rockford Files was on, theme tune in the background, I remember it distinctly. It was 1974. Not just my first tv memory but my first memory ever. He didn’t even tell me off

Here we go loopy loo. Here we go loopy lie... Andy Pandy ( the original in black and white) while mum is telling me to eat my peas.

Bod
The Flumps
Playschool
Bagpuss
and this boring grown-up thing that came on afterwards, The Sullivans I think.

Fingermouse/Fingerbobs, You and Me, Sesame Street.

My parents now find it hysterical that there are Muppets in Belfast (Big City Park) who Skype Bert and Ernie, who obviously haven't aged in 50 years!

@insancerre - Andy Pandy was originally 1950s. It’s one of my first memories, along with Picture Book, The Flowerpot Men, Rag, Tag and Bobtail and The Woodentops.

Same here , what about Muffin the Mule, Fingerbobs, Sooty and Sweep, the Siver Sword. I’m sure I’ll think of more.

Tellytubies sunshine baby 🌞

Parsley the Lion and the Herb Garden

Dancing wildly to Charlie Chalke and demanding it be played over and over again.

We recently bought the DVD for DS and it seems SO OLD

Zzzap, weird comic book style kids programme on CITV, early 90s

Mary, Mungo and Midge - I seem to remember an episode where Mary broke her leg and it freaked me out!

Hector's House is another early TV memory. Hector's voice scared me and I'm told that I used to hide behind the sofa.

I don't recall one show in particular, but a few. The Flumps, Playschool, Paint Along With Nancy, and Crown Court (which I'd love to believe was an early precursor to Judge Rinder ). These were all shows on before I started nursery.

The Banana Splits

Na-na-na, na-na-na-nah

My very first memory of TV is watching You and Me at about three years old.

The Bugaloos.

Andy Pandy (I had a puppet of him too.)
Noggin the Nog.

Fireball XL5, Tales of the Riverbank, Rag Tag and Bobtail, Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men.
The first episode of Doctor Who, with William Hartnell as the doctor. The first episode of Coronation Street. All of the above in black and white of course, on a tiny TV set.

Wackaday

Stingray? A thunderbirds spinoff? I think I was about two?

Mine was in 1974 watching the Greatest Circus.

We were visiting my my great uncle and my dad asked him why he was watching television in black and white when the TV he had was also colour! My dad tweaked the knobs at the back at there was colour.

Not sure why it was in black and white, maybe the delivery men had set it up wrong.

He was delighted and we all sat down to watch a colour film!

I should add it was a treat as we didn't own a television ourselves. Probably why I remember it.

Watch With Mother: Mary, Mungo and Midge. I'm ooooold.👵

ginger is your caps lock stuck? 😂
