AnonyMouse_13453 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 So, I came across an old newspaper in the loft, wrapping up some mugs I was sending to a charity shop and amongst the usual stuff was the TV listings. It set me wondering about us all, and our preferences in our teen years. so, were you: Starsky or Hutch? Donny or Michael or David? Smith or Jones? (Hannibal Heyes or Kid Curry) - can you think of any others? I was Hutch, Donny and Heyes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19733 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hello Cait You certainly got me thinking with this one. 1. Hutch 2. Is that Cassidy or Essex, 'cos it was only ever David Essex for me - none of the others were anywhere close! So disagrre there. 3. with you on that one, I always thought Kid Curry was a weed!

AnonyMouse_1195 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Tom Baker...who else! Although of course William Hartnell was the definitive Dr., or what I saw of him from behind the sofa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 ah - so which doctor who then?? I never really watched it - but Zebedee liked Tom Baker best as he brought a bit of comedy in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19733 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I was a paid up member of the "behind the sofa" brigade with Dr Who. But I think it was Tom Baker I listened to most, not sure what he looked like though! BMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) Hutch. I even saw him at the Odeon in the 70's. Silver Lady and Black bean soup are the only songs I remember though. David Essex (yummy) Donny (even had my bedroom painted purple) Hannibal Heyes (another yummy) Remember Chips, the motorbike cops? The High Chaperel?

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I was probably too young for this at the time, but werent their trousers tight!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 those Chips cops had such tight trousers and a uniform top which never was done up.. like a second skin and open a a long way down from what I remember... David for me (Cassidy) went to a Wembley concert but also Essex as home grown one.. (fell for him when I saw him in Godspell on stage in London and had 'meet the cast' time on the stage during the interval.. ) Starskey and Hannibal Hayes and never saw Dr Who until much later so quite liked Peter Davidson.., sister was a behind the sofa brigade so they wouldn't let us have it on!

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Definitely loved all of those Inge also loved Picture Book, something magical about the presenter opening up the book and finding lovely things to make or story to read, also when I was a little older Tales from the Riverbank,using real animals and voiced over telling a story. I had the video Watch With Mother and I was amazed at how slowly the stories unfolded and how simple they were - compared to today's almost manic delivery sometimes. When my boys were little ones there was a story of two children who lived in a Hotel/bed and breakfast by the sea called the Bucket and Spade, but can't remember the title of the programme, we used to love watching that together, Rainbow and Button Moon too.
