Bobledgersheart Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 First programme I can remember watching our family's colour telly was "High Chapparal". Was really impressed probably because most of the films shown at the "Lyric" then were in black and white too. Getting home from school and waiting for the telly programmes to start was pretty exciting. My my how things have progressed - in some ways ! ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogdenwoodwhittle Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Don't forget the weird eastern European kids drama "the singing ringing tree' with the giant fish Never understood it then and have seen some clips on 'youth tube' and still don't understand it now.
