He did that funny 'nyefnyefnyef' sound, dd1 used to do a really good impression when she was about 2, which is why I picked this talk name.

ProfYaffle · 18/07/2008 21:04

Just found this on tv cream:

THE CHANGES (1975)
BBC

SUPREMELY PREPOSTEROUS supernatural kids twaddle concerning an ancient mystical force which could bring modern life to a standstill. As was typical in the 70s, those at the centre of the mayhem were a bunch of Unlikable Posh Children. Begins with whole country suffering a power cut (topical) and population decamping to France. One of the posh kids gets separated from her family and falls in with some Sikhs (topical). Lots of sci-fi quackery ensues including bollocks involving a stone called the Necromancer, Merlin and some hippies. Everything back to normal at the end, of course.

snooks · 18/07/2008 21:15

profyaffle I like your spelling - that is what I was hearing in my head but was too lazy to spell phonetically .

I used to love "I am a storyteller, I have a story to be told" with graphics of a young man laying back on a tree trunk playing a lute (I must be making this up)
