The fact that you googled that is quite sad.

Which bands were on?

Look, here I am trying to raise the standard of my posts to at least factual drivel and this is the thanks I get.  

Probably Pink Floyd.

Ah, so Top Cat is the American version?  I always call it Top Cat anyway.

It was only given the title Boss Cat in the UK because the good old Beeb didn't want to be seen to be advertising Top Cat moggy food. 

Those were the days when Blue Peter would have to put masking tape over Ski yoghurt pots to avoid any product placement. Safe to say the BBC now have no such qualms over commercialisation!

john peel married a 15 year old, im not sure he's so far removed from saville tbh

To be fair it was in the southern states of the USA in the 60s,  she was a late developer.

Unlike Savile, John Peel saved his criminal records for his radio shows.

Was surprised to discover the first episode was 1961 and the last 1962. The names were, top cat, choo choo, Benny the ball, Brain, Fancy Fancy, Goldie and Chutney.

I guess it stood the test of time then!  I loved wee fat benny the ball, he was cute.

It was a cartoon version of Sgt Bilko. Benny the ball was voiced by the guy who played Private Doberman.

The led zep boys didn't appear to be too interested in the age limits either, this is taking a disturbing turn.

 

I'll bet you that a shed load of pop/rock stars have knowingly/unknowingly had underage sex. You can just picture them leaving a gig telling their minders to bring her,her and her to the hotel.

You know you’re getting old when you walk past Anne Summers and don’t even bother to have a wee sly look inside

Yet notice a comfortable pair of slacks in Debenhams window in their blue cross sale.
