TV Programs for the children of the 1970's










Before we go back to Oakham, I thought it would be fun to take a walk down memory lane.
In the 1970's and yes 1960's we did not have the Disney channel in England. I remember having BBC 1 and BBC 2 and ITV. There was no computers and no video games. Most children used what is termed as their imagination, perhaps some children would be wise to find that today. I remember finding a hedgehog and keeping it in a box in the front of our house. Not the best animal to keep, but still a fond memory.
Lets see what I remember. "Watch with mother," Camberwick green, Andy Pandy, Trumpton, Chigley, and Bill Ben, others have been saved for another post. Then there was the Clangers, Sooty and Sweep, and my all time favorite at four years old Romper Room. I mean would that lady mention my name? Could she see me in her magic mirror? I guess in a child's eyes, we will never know. To me she had power she could see me watching her, and I so wanted her to mention my name.
I don't feel I missed out in not having the many gadgets of today.
They are all fond memories of a time captured by us children of the 1970's.
So here for you to enjoy our some memories.
Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights
There's always room for one more.
