What is the first thing you remember seeing on a TV?

[Lockdowner35]

I remember Sophie and Mel's death on Hollyoaks in 2006 the earliest.

Playschool, Camberwick Green, Trumpton, Bagpuss, & Mr Benn. And the test card, when waiting for the two lunchtime children’s programmes to start, then I think mum watched Pebble Mill at One.

Playschool. I adored Floella Benjamin.
I was actually going to say Charles and Diana’s wedding too but, like a previous poster said, I actually think it was the first time I watched something on a video because I remember fast forwarding and rewinding and watching everything moving so quickly. And it was in colour. Mind Completely Blown.

The Clangers/Magic Roundabout/Blue Peter

Either the test card or button moon.

I remember clearly watching a storm in the Onedin Line and then we had a power cut!

Puddle lane
Grotbags (terrifying)

Button moon.

Will o the wisp and Button Moon.

The Flumps and Trumpton.

Also vividly remember the intro to Dallas, which my mum used to watch in the evenings, and the intro to some Invisible Man drama my parents used to watch which involved the Invisible Man removing his bandages slowly and scared the pants off me.

Thunder cats and a darts programme (bullseye?)

Dm and one of our neighbours both worked pt and shared childcare. I have a very clear memory of watching Button Moon in our house with neighbour's daughter on our tiny black and white tv and eating macaroni cheese. Would have been very early 80s. I also remember watching a (pirate 😳) video of ET on our other neighbour's Betamax player that he used to bring round as we didn't have one. He was divorced and at weekends he'd bring his Betamax and tapes round and he and his dc would have dinner with us and we'd all watch a film. Different world, my dc can't imagine a world without Netflix, Prime, Disney+ etc

Playschool back in the 70's, and Rainbow.

Chorlton and the wheelies which is odd-after looking it was on ITV and ITV was 'not to be watched' 😂

Children’s TV in the ‘70s like Camberwick Green etc.

I went to play at a little friend's house when I was in reception class. It was many years ago and we didn't have a tv back home, so I was absolutely enchanted when we sat down to watch Bill and Ben. I still remember the " Was it Bill, or was it Ben?" song, and my friend pointing and saying "It must be Ben, I can see the B!"

Olga Korbut the gymnast in the 1972 Olympics

The test card or Andy Pandy.

It would either be Blue Peter - Tina Heath and Christopher Wenner's last episode - or The Paul Daniel's Magic Show.

Bagpuss - the chocolate biscuit episode .

These puppets from Live & Kicking and the competition to win the duck hair dryer circa 1995

That magic pen show and Pippin again mid 90s

Harold Bishops's glasses on the beach after he went missing and Helen dying on Neighbours. I thought it was real and it upset me for days.

One of Playschool (with Big Ted and Jemima), Mr Benn, Pigeon Street or Bagpuss!

...or maybe Button Moon, the Flumps or Trumpton! Classic kids TV

Play School. Funnily enough, I was watching a vintage episode (from 1979) on Youtube last night. Also Postman Pat.

Bill and Ben, Andy Pandy.
