First episode of Doctor Who, set in a junkyard. Saturday teatime, November 1963, with William Hartnell. Downhill all the way since then!

Actually I wasn't a nipper, I was sixteen!

I watched the old and trusted valve radio. I was more interested in the glow of the valve in the back of the radio. It must have been in the late 50s when people started to get TVs in any real numbers around our way at least. We also had an organ in the front room and I could pick tunes on that for something to do I suppose. So no we did not watch much TV. Too busy with football, cricket and swimming etc.
