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.

Before my time I'm afraid. Used to get left at the Classic for the Saturday morning cinema show sometimes while mum did the shopping -remember Lassie and a few adventure series -pretty exciting as we got to buy sweets and a bottle of pop!

When you go back and look at the stuff you were watching as a kid you dont realise how politicaly incorrect they are in todays society

[Margaret Pilkington]

And you have to ask the question......were we damaged by all this politically incorrect stuff?
I don't think we were...do you?

I used to love the Black and White Minstrel Show and used to watch it with my Golly from the Robinsons Jar, but alas no more
