Oh Joanne thank you, Yes I remember now. I used to be a huge fan of Flintlock and used to go to their concerts. Mike Holloway was my favourite followed closely by Bill Rice. Have often wondered where they are now and what they are doing. Have tried googling too but not much info out there.

Thanks Lainey x

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

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

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!
