I used to watch the same as R1cho, loved those programs! I spent more time though building things and drawing etc. we lived bang next door to a fairly private wood that speperated us from a cemetary, so I spent a lot of time playing in there (acting like He-Man or Thundercats of course!)

Zelda was sh1t scary!

In my early days there were only 2 channels and we rented the TV from "Red Arrow" then I remember them converting the set to include BBC2, this was on UHF not VHF that the original 2 were on.
There was a huge handle on the side that went clunk and you had to have 2 aerials, a H shaped aerial for VHF and the conventional aerial for UHF.

Black and white of course, and the white dot in the centre of the screen when you turned it off. Just before the National anthem came on at 11:00pm.

I have fond memories of:

Captain Scarlet
Thunderbirds
Joe 90
Stingray
The Herb Garden
Trumpton
Chigley
Camberwick Green
The Clangers

Also remember watching comedy stuff with my dad:

The Goodies
Monty Python
Dave Allen

My mum never got the comedy stuff but did like Star Trek and westerns - I must've seen every Audie Murphy movie going. Also The Persuaders and The Saint.

As a family I remember we watched loads of natural history programmes (David Attenborough, Jacques Cousteau)

I also remember staying up late on Fridays to watch the horror movies - all the Hammer stuff was great and Peter Cushing was my hero!

I recall Robinson Crusoe and The Flashing Blade as being part of the Saturday TV viewing, and I remember going to "The Pictures" with my uncle on Saturday mornings and seeing episodes of Flash Gordon (Larry "Buster" Crabbe), amongst other things.

Oh and wasn't Marine Boy the one with some sort of special chewing gum to allow him to breather underwater?

Anyone else get woken up by their Dad at 2am to watch the first moon landing live on BBC2?:doh
