Watch with mother about 1957 - 58 as I remember -
Monday - Picture Book
Tuesday - Andy Pandy
Wednesday - Bill and Ben
Thursday - Rag Tag & Bobtail
Friday - The Woodentops.
I remember having a hissy fit when they sometimes took the Woodentops off because of the horse racing!
I also remember that following Watch With Mother there sometimes used to be keep fit on for the housewives which my mum and me used to join in with!

Welcome home...

Zoonie the Lazoon, lazy, semi-telepathic pet of Dr. Venus from planet Colevio (voiced by David Graham). During his first appearances, he couldn't say anything but "welcome home" but his vocabulary grew as the series progressed, often due to him mimicking other characters.

There is a make of jeans in Italy called Roy Rogers -do they exist in the UK? Was Roy Rogers a cowboy series?

I liked the film based in Accy.. think it was called "KES".. showed real life and the kind of life some older members on here crave for.. hardship and poverty.
