I didnt watch it, my friend and I stayed at each orhers houses a lot and her older brother watched it. It was too sophisticated for me, I liked Top Of The Pops. I am sure you are shocked and stunned to hear that 🙂 Thursday and Friday nights on BBC4 They show old episodes in order unless Jimmy Saville or whoever else was up to no good was presenting. They were up to 1983 last I seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fun game to play when they show old TOTP clips is to see if a glimpse of Sir Jim'll sneaks into the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee- Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Brookside fairly doubled the pain if your team lost on a Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the lesbian kiss though. Apart from Alan Stubbs Scousers shouldn’t be allowed on the tele either that or they put subtitles on They had the cheek to put subtitles on Trawlermen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably there was prior notice of that happening because I recall watching it in a packed pub full of blokes cheering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Have any of you actually went back and watched any of the old shows, mostly this is your life, with Gary Glitter and Saville and for some reason Frank Bruno? It's fucking surreal to say the least and gives you the heebies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
