I'll do that jaysay--
just a mention on nostalgia -
we used to have a 'pop' wagon that came round every friday - I think it was 'stantons' - sold dandelion and burdoch as well as sarsperilla in stone jars with a stopper on the side (my dad used the empties as hot water bottles in winter!) -accy based?
on thursdays the knife sharpener (on bike)
wednesday's the rag and bone man.
what happened to those wooden sticks of licquorice that you had to chew like mad until you finished up with a wad of pulp??
yarns of wool?? mother had us holding arms outstretched with yarn between thumb and fingers so she could roll into a ball!! most went on darning our socks!!
Bonfire nights and 'wooding'-- aah.

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

'The Adventures of PC49' Created for Radio by Alan Stranks, with Brian Reece in the starring role and Joyce Shelton playing his girlfriend, Joan Carr. PC49 was a beat constable serving with Q Division of the Metropolitan Police. Series began in 1947 and lasted until 1953. 112 episodes were made, but only two are known to have survived.

I was given the PC49 Album as a present for my 10th birthday way back in 1951. Wish I'd kept it.

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

Visit 'Jimmy Clitheroe's' cafe on Clitheroe Market for a good brew and a preponderance of old theatre posters and memorabelia of their mischievous little hero.

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

Does anyone remember a series called " Branded " ??

YouTube - Branded theme

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

Was it a series about a US Cavalry officer being branded a coward, but eventually proving himself innocent? I believe Chuck Connors had the starring role.

There was another western series starring Steve McQueen as 'The Rifleman'.

Then Hugh O'Brien in the long running 'Wyatt Earp' series.

I just loved the TV Westerns. Far superior to the sci-fi rubbish that kids are into today. But then again, that's just my opinion. It's probably more in tune with what's prevalent at the time.

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

Here is another from that era - Rawhide

YouTube - Rawhide - TV - opening - ending

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

Another great series. Gill Favor and Rowdy Yates became household names.

You remember 'The Big Valley' with Barbara Stanwick as the mother to three feuding sons?

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

Used to love those Westerns....also recall Cheyenne starring Clint Walker!...and Lawman too...which i think was another Chuck Connors Western!


Best Regards - Taggy

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

The Western Series were great, weren't they just? There was one on nearly every night of the week in the 1950's and 60's. Roy Rogers and Gene Autrey were the 'singing cowboys'. Then there was Hopalong Cassidy, Tom Mix, Kit Carson: all characters from famous comics of the day who were immortalised in Saturday cinema serials and later on TV.

If only we could turn the clock back!

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

Rowdy Yates went on o better things can't remember the actors name:confused::confused::confused::confused::confu sed: Clint something:D

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

Could it be Clint Eastwood !!!

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

I don't remember that one Taggy , But here's the thyme tune-

YouTube - Cheyenne theme song

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

We seem to have overlooked 'Wells Fargo', another epic series starring Dale Robertson as the eponymous hero.

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

Another Western series was Gun Smoke with James Arness as Marshall Matt Dillon, and his trusty side kick Chester, with the gammy leg, always remember him running down the street shouting Mr Dillon, Mr Dillon, what the hell was Chesters real name, I can picture him and remember him as Marshall Sam Mccloud, but his real name:confused:

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

Thats it Stumped:D:D:D

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

Here it is Jaysay - Gunsmoke

YouTube - Gunsmoke Theme Song

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

That would be Dennis Weaver.

Another series was Hondo (Lane), about a jobbing cowboy and his yeller dog. I believe there was also a feature film made with John Wayne playing Hondo - though it was nowt like the series.

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

Great nostalgia this isnt it!!...Wasn't the World a much simpler place when it was just Cowboys vs Indians!! ;)

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

Great thread this for reliving one's youth as influenced by the TV that we watched as youngsters. Thanks AccyWeb.

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

It was Taggy, though some New Additions aint bad, fer instance= Dingles vs Humans.:D

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

Anyone recall a series from 1967/68 called Cimmaron Strip starring Stuart Whitman as a US Marshall. Entertaining at the time, but never quite took off in the way that some Western series did. Reckon it was mainly down to Whitman's role proving to be a bit naff!

A later series which I really enjoyed was 'Paradise' (later renamed Guns of Paradise), starring Lee Horsely as Ethan Cord, a reformed gunfighter charged with bringing up the orphaned kids of his sister. It ran from 1988 to 1981 only to be replaced by 'Dr Quin-Medicine Woman', which I thought was somewhat contrived - though the ratings spoke differently.

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

Thanks Stumped, surprising how you say course it was when some one tells you:D

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

Oh come on cashy thats not much of a contest:D

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

Can't remember if anybody has mentioned the Virginian from 1962 featured James Drury, Doug McClure nd Lee J. Cobb
"The Virginian" (1962)
was great in its day too:mosher:

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

Somebody was clearly thinking about 'Kum Ba Ya' when they wrote the theme tune to that. My wife thinks I'm losing it but it's definitely in there.

Seriously, have a listen.

The Virginian, Trampas and Judge Garth were believable characters with their weekly adventures holding millions enthralled. Great stuff.

Don't forget to mention 'Lassie'.

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

I used to watch Michael bentine's pottytime . I think this is the programme with the fleas having a war ?

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

Which must be a prompt for The Goon Show. I recall one episode broadcast in black and white which advertised that the closing scenes would be shown in colour. Cue Spike Milligan in an outfit sporting tags labelling various items of dress like 'yellow tie'; 'pink shirt'; blue trousers' and so on. Daft as brushes, the lot of em.

I can also remember the very first commercial I saw on my uncles's new TV
...The Esso sign means happy motoring........
I really am going back a long way!

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

I remember Mr Andrews and his big red book, the first advert on commercial TV was for Strand Cigarettes, the tag line was your never alone with a Strand, showed a bloke standing under a lamp post at night with his mack collar up and trilby hat pulled over his eyes, think today he'd have been pulled by cops on Stop and Search :D

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

Anyone recall 'In Town Tonight' : a weekly magazine programme chaired by McDonald Hobley. A bit like a latter day Jonathon Ross, but without the foul mouth.

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

I remember it Stumped, think it used to be on around 6pm on a Saturday night, always opened with a shot of Alexandra Place with the TV antenna on top with air waves radiating from it, can remember the music though
