OMG -that takes me back to Saturday evenings when we slept over at my Grandparents! We got to stay up late and watch Hawai-5-O too -very risqué back then -if mum had known she'd never have let us stay over!

What about "torchy the battery boy" and "twizzle" the boy who could screw his legs out to make him taller.Both were puppets shows with all the strings showing
Then if I was lucky, I was treated to saturday morning at the pictures,I think it was sixpence but not sure, it was kids only. Flash Gordon, Roy Rodgers, Lone Ranger, Old Mother Riley and Kitty and lots more that have escaped my grey cells.

Torchy the Battery Boy (Episode 1 - part 1) - YouTube

Twizzle (1957) - "Twizzle and Footso" - YouTube

Watch with Mother - Rag, Tag and Bobtail (1957) pt 1 - YouTube
