ime big you are small ,i am right you are wrong.come back when ,mmmmsay in two years

[Baldrick]

I voted for Blue Peter, although we weren't allowed TV at Baldrick Hall until I was about 10 years old, apart from the BBC news at 1800h each day, anything David Attenborough-related, and episodes of Fawlty Towers and Blackadder replayed on clunking Betamax tapes. Naturally when I have a litter of little Baldricks, I will subject them to the same bizarre televisual regime.

 

Grange Hill is for plebs. And nobody in their right mind would watch anything with John Craven, unless it's prescribed by one's GP for anger-management purposes.

TISWAS Sally James mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!

 

Or, Tom and Jerry cartoons, but only the Fred Quimby ones. I may be (still) childish, but I'm picky too

Out of Town

[njc110381]

Well I voted for the stick and coal. We had a telly but everything on it was c rap so I used to find better things to do outside. I'm nowhere near as old as some of you, but I think maybe I acted like kids would have done before all this rubbish was invented to keep them out of their parents hair for a few hours! In my head, I had better things to do with my time than sit on my backside staring at a box!

Bizarrely, despite routinely spending two or three hours watching TV after school everyday (not to mention four or more hours watching TV each day during the holidays), those three programmes were some of a handful that I routinely avoided.

 

I think because they either had or (in the case of Grange Hill) aspired to have some sort of factual basis, and therefore (unlike all those lovely cartoons), they were just a bit boring.

 

This probably made me the socially mal-adjusted twerp I am today - I ought to have been out running, jumping and climbing trees, rather than wondering what was under that trapdoor.

You need to fess up to being a junior polo champion at the tender age of 9 or was it 10? (that is why you did not watch too much TV!)

My school was like a rough Grange Hill so when I went home I needed something to rise above it so would watch John Craven whilst wearing a monacle. Also Magpie with Susan Stranks and Tommy Boyd.

[Ferret Master]

I should probably point out the interest in Grange Hill was when you are of primary school age wondering 'Is that actually what secondary education is like?'

 

I was deeply deeply disappointed on my first day in year 7.

Grange hill was cool! I still remember the very first episode where Tucker was knocking on Benny Green and Alan Humpries doors.God i feel old.

newsround, but really when i was a kid i preferred ghostbusters and scooby doo

[Bleeh]

Tut tut tut.

 

It would go Grange hill - Blue peter - Newsrounds anyhow! you wouldn't have to look away from the screen. So if your answer is all three - you had very little to do as a child

Ah yes..... I do like that kind of regime.

 

However I feel your signature does you no justice, as you are nothing like Baldrick. More a Blackadder I'd say.......

[Baldrick]

Sadly somebody had beaten me to the Blackadder moniker back when I registered in 2004. I suppose I could have my forum name changed to Slackbladder, or some other Bladder-esque name.

[Flashman]

Only allowed tv on Wednesday evening (Top of the Pops night) and the weekend, when at school.

Left plenty of time for bullying and ******* - and that was just from the teachers...
