Wasn't allowed to watch it still don't know why

Rented tellies?

"Its great service you get
renting your colour set
from Granada
Its better TV
I'm sure you'll agree
rent Granada"

Thing is if you are advertising colour TV's why? If you have a colour set already you dont want one and if you have black and white you cant see the colours in the ad

We had a rented tellie too. I remember my Nana saying she had to go to radio rentals to pay for it.

Anyone watch The Tommorrow people? I didn't but I remember it being on. loved Space 1999.

Rented tv,yep remember them
My Favourite was Twizzle

Does anyone remember this little chap...

You can get Catweazle, the Tomorrow people and other programmes from around that time on Dvd. I watched them a while back, they didn't seem the same somehow. If anybody wants to know where to get them let me know.
I also remember Timeslip, The Herbs, Tales of the Riverbank, Pinky and Perky, Lamb Chop and many others.

The onlty thing i can remember is that it was in the country and they built log cabins the villagers wouldn't except them at first, but they did eventuallly, but sadly the father was lumberjack and trying to find work was hard for them, the eldest lad had to follow in his footsteps but the mother disagreed with the idea but she had let him do the same job, it was snowy in the mountains, they were a scottish family, not sure if the title had something like a home for xmas in it or life in the country, i think!! but i might be of the track on that one, most of the children survived the epidemic, sadly some passed away, but who was in it no idea, i remember the film as if it was yeterday, but title i dont remember???? but think cap still on

Like Huia, I didn't have TV when I was very young.
I think we got a rented one when I was about nine.
I remember Andy Pandy, Robin Hood (Richard Greene) and Blue Peter.
I also remember having big arguments at home about not being allowed to stay up late (7.30 - 8) to watch Top of the Pops - this was after I had started senior school!

I loved Daktari, Crackerjack, Black Beauty and Follyfoot. Our tele was rented - don't think my parents bought their own until they had retired.

we had a tele with a slot box to put the 50ps in the back when the tele ran out, tilll i found a pair of me mothers nail scissors and opened it up and robbed the 50ps then we had rent to buy for years, used to love friday nites to stop up and watch z cars and within these walls with googy withers and a bag of chips from the chippy between 7 of us and me dad went and fetched half pint of beer from the offy and a bottle of dandylion and burdock for us kids loved them days!!! remenising
