Fae_the_'briggs Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I was thinking of getting a pair of slippers which aren't tartan. Primrose? No need to go calling him offensive names, he can have another colour if he wants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob the tank Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Are you suggesting that they are no longer fashionable? My mother threw them out when we flitted out of the prefab, into the house with the ultra modern hot air heating system, as it was the era of Harrison Drape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Beat me to it. Mine will have to go along with the woodchip paper. Took down mine today. Should have changed in to old clothes first as I've ripped my flares. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Whilst every opportunity should be taken to think about Susan Stranks and Jenny Handley I wouldn't class them as being early television icons. Probably a generational thing but my thoughts tend to stray back to the pre-colour TV era, although I have to admit that I am struggling to recall Pat Keysall, Douglas Rae and Mick Robertson. I do of course remember that craggy, roving reporter Fyfe Robertson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolph Hucker Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Whilst every opportunity should be taken to think about Susan Stranks and Jenny Handley I wouldn't class them as being early television icons. Probably a generational thing but my thoughts tend to stray back to the pre-colour TV era, although I have to admit that I am struggling to recall Pat Keysall, Douglas Rae and Mick Robertson. I do of course remember that craggy, roving reporter Fyfe Robertson. Pat Keysell was the "Vision On" presenter - the one that wasn't Tony Hart. She wasn't in the same league as Stranks and Hanley, IMO. And the bestest Blue Peter crumpet was the lovely Janet Ellis, mum of the hamster-cheeked Sophie Ellis Bextor. Douglas Rae? Nae idea, except to say I'm pretty sure it ain't the chairman of the team I support - even in his prime he'd've been a worse TV presenter than Adrian Chiles. I remember Fyffe Robertson though - dunno why, but years later when "Hector's House" was on Hector always reminded me of dear old Fyffe. Maybe Hector's big lugs reminded me of Fyffe's deerstalker hat or something. Anyway - Pinky & Perky, Torchy the Battery Boy, Supercar and Fireball XL5. Ohhh, that Venus....... -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold Rover Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 On from all the telly stuff! I have forgotten lots of useful stuff but! this has never left me Monday - Watch with Mother Tuesday - Andy Pandy Wednesday - The Flowerpot Men Thursday - Rag Tag and Bobtail Friday - The Woodentops Sad The Flowerpot Men & Rag Tag and Bobtail were the pick of them. Remember Tales of the Riverbank? I do believe Tales of the Riverbank replaced RT&B in theThursday slot! Wasn't Watch With Mother the umbrella name for the daily slot, 12.45 to 1, IIRC? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold Rover Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Back to TV: does anyone remember an American sitcom called No Time For Sergeants? It was about the US army. Around the same time as The Addams Family and I Dream of Genie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
