I think it was the BBC2 UHF colour test transmissions. One of them was "The Small Propeller"

Slight tangent, bit as an MSc student my days entailed:

- wake up about 2pm in time to watch the Country Practice (2pm)
- sit around drinking tea, chatting in the kitchen, eat
- go out drinking (pint of mild for £1)
- back for cell-block H and whatever
- Bed mid morning

I had one lecture a week (2pm-4pm on a thursday). I didn't make it once.

The course was funded as a training course, so I basically got my room in halls of residence paid, claimed the dole plus extra £10 week training allowance, plus all sorts of other stuff I could claim (travel home, stationary, books I never bought etc)

I sometimes reflect how I've never been so well off since...

There used to be a women's programme called House Party or something similar. People would ring a doorbell and come on and talk about things like filleting haddock or knitting. Like Loose women but without the sex and drugs. Of course I may been sniffing the crinkly lucozade wrapper.

Also test/Gillette Cup cricket, the itv 7 and the TUC conference with Vic Feather and Joe Gormley and others that Mike Yarwood used to impersonate.

I remember House Party. Every so often the doorbell would go off and someone new appear.

Take the High Road, which was Scots and therefore you really had to concentrate to understand a word.

Take the High Road reminded me of that Welsh soap Pobol Y Cym. No idea what was going on but it was something to watch - if only to spot English words with no Welsh equivalent, like Ronco Buttoneer or arc welding helmet.

Vague memories of a drama series called Village Hall which each week featured some drama about a different group/club/society using said village hall.

Wasn’t as exciting as it sounds

Showing my age now, but Going for Gold was essential viewing whilst at University. Alongside Neighbours with Des ("I luv yer Daf"), Daphne and Max ("yer flaming galarr"), Maria, Shane ("fair go Arny Madge") and Danny ("I luv yer Dad") Ramsay.


Blockbusters is in this category too but when Polytechnics were still a thing.

I was caught in a maths lesson listening to a test match via headphones from a transistor radio with the headphone cable running up my sleeve. Mr Walker wasn't best pleased.

The classics Camberwick Green and Chigley.

Tucked up on the sofa,with a sick bucket whilst dear old Mother went to the shops to buy me a bottle of Lucazade.

A big old pot of home made chicken soup on the stove bubbling away all day bones and all.

Lovely stuff.

Sounds familiar. Lucozade in a big dark bottle with thin orange/brown shiny paper around the neck (of the bottle).

"Lucozade aids recovery." Although it didn't, just rotted your teeth and made you fat!

And it was tomato soup for me. Not home made - from a tin.

Friend of mine bunked off school at least once to watch a day of a Test Match on the telly and came into school the next day with a cricket score book in which he scored the entire day's play.
