On the literary section we have digressed (oh yes we have ) into a discussion about TV we watched when we were young, its amazing how much we can remember.
What TV did you all enjoy when you were young.
We have Bonanza and The high Chaparal at the moment, anyone remember anymore Should have added we also have Little House on the Prairie, and The Waltons, have been mentioned

Yeah I remember lots of the old children's programmes you mention here. You can actually find some of them on youtube if you are sad enough to look! I used to like the Clangers myself and Crackerjack.
Did any of you watch 'Carrie's War' on TV? That was one of my favourites.

Fell of my chair! Yep that's the one she'll mean Christine
I still watch the Champions, or do while I'm here.
The Professionals, The Sweeney, Starsk and Hutch, Cagney and Lacey - proper cop programs No political correctness in sight.
