I've been very nostalgic lately and travelled back to my childhood. Youtube has loads of 50's and 60's childrens clips.

This one is Torchy the Battery Boy.

I'm suprised I wasnt more terrifed as a kid. It ought to have scarred me for life.

'orrible kids, just better spoken. :wah:

I remember watching the real Batman & Robin tv shows. Not the cartoon mind you. The one with Adam West, etc. Great show. Also the Munsters and the Addams Family were good shows too.

You never heard of Batman & Robin?

I remember Dydee diaper service dropping off diapers at our house when my sister was a baby. Also remember the milkman dropping off milk, pies, eggs, bread, etc. The knife sharpener guy was also around to sharpen scissors, knives, etc.

Just 'enjoyed' a few minutes of Torchy - not much 'cos those puppets freak me out!:yh_rotfl

Can you just imagine if someone came up with the idea now -

'I know, lets do a show that opens with an old man who lives on his own with his poodle who lets all the neighbourhood children play in his garden!'

Hmmmm, I hear cries of paedo ringing across the land................. :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl times really have changed!!!!

I'm old enough to remember when NO one had a television :yh_rotfl

The first programme I ever watched (on a well off neighbours TV) was emergency Ward Ten in 1957....I was 11

EMERGENCY WARD 10 | A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
