oh dear Jaysay - you've got me into trouble again - I never meant to offend you but apparently I did and after your report to the super moderator he has told me to cool it -
so it's a stand off - go well mate

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
 

the thing about the 1960s "All our Yesterdays " was it was only showing stuff 25 years old ... (historical stuff to us kids at the time ) if they did a program like that today it would be 1985 ......not really history to me or other "coffin dodgers" , wondered what our parents/grandparents generation thought of the program :confused: ;) :D

well steelie - they projected that 'in the future' we would only have to take a tablet to supplement our diet - so no need for food! - in actual fact it has been the opposite - the Western world face a health crisis for obesity - hence the onslaught of diabetes type 2 -
at the time I thought the programme was quite innovative - time proved otherwise - you can hark back to Nostradamus who (in the same vein) thought he could 'see' into the future - unfortuanetly another charlaton - I say leave it to the scientific pioneers who because of their strict discipline of PROOF will (only slowly) show us the way.

You've got me stirring the old grey matter, Jaysay. I too recall a program that started with the pulsing radio mast at Alexandra Palace, but no matter how much I stir, I can't for what's left of the life in me come up with the name of the program. Could it have been ITN news?

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
 

It could just have been the introduction for a show like Whats my Line or This is your life Stumped:confused::confused::confused:

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?

BBC TV from AP

Cassius Clay in the early hours of the morning, with a blanket over our heads because the reception was so bad, who would he have been fighting? early sixties, a big fight and he won,

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
 

Sonny Liston? that was 64, when clay won world title.

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
 

As Cashy says if it was early hours would have been Sonny Liston in '64.. or could have been Henry Cooper in '63 ?

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
 

Don't think the cooper fight was early hours mancie as it was in uk, if i remember right.:confused:

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
 

That's right..was a bit to young to see any of them..I was more into "Hectors House".. it's only in recent years I discovered that Jaysay played the lead role.. silly old Hector.:D
