More Blasts from the past

What a gem Youtube is turning out to be! I've been able to relive some key moments of little me's TV experience, first of all...check out Andy Peters in the Broomcupboard... This was key to Childrens' BBC when I was little. Now they have a big studio, and the TV programmes are not as good. Andy Peters ad-libbing with an unintelligable duck puppet is really and truely the only way to present Childrens' TV!...

If that wasn't enough, does anyone remember the sing-alongs? This one was Philip Schofield...bless him!

I would have watched those ... if only! if only! We mostly had Canadian Content (which is good, I must say, for the most part) and a bunch of American shows like Saved by the Bell ... *sigh*

But now I know I'm totally going to look up all my old favourites on YouTube.

Trapdoor had one of the best theme songs ever!
It's great how you managed to find episodes that used exactly the same joke "On reflection..." awesome writing!

one word; 'airwolf'- the best and cheesiest 80's blast from the past ever made. Apparently they're may even be a movie (lol). But really, what fun it would be to buzz round in a supercharged big black helicopter with huge guns on - would scare the hell out of the french!!!
