Was it 1982 , OMG I never new it was that early , I had a small black and white TV in my bedroom that you had to twist the dial to get a signal and move the Ariel around :lol: :lol:
I must have been stopped from watching anything like that . But agree with all it’s all over the top .
They were good old days and good tv .

Paul Did it put you off a chicken ? I look away when David Attenborough does his programmes now and a animal is killed :lol:

Any way we got on the subject about the above program, I found an episode on and i think her jaw actually hit the floor when the '' contestants'' were shown. She reckoned even breaf seens of nudity get a warning on the screen in Canada and a program like that would probably not even be shown on the pay per view channels.
Yeah ,there's something wrong with you guys😁😂
Sometimes I talk to myself ... and we both have a good laugh

It would take more than that to put me off my food Jason :) However, it has stayed with me all this time so I guess there is some deep rooted trauma there. As for the portable black and white TV, pretty much the norm back then for most people upstairs, but we still spent many happy hours glued to it up there didn't we, good times! Being into techno from quite young I was posh and had mine coming from the rooftop aerial. And soon graduated to a colour portable and then a larger flatscreen, which was really wow! Not like today's flatscreens, I'm sure you will realise hehe. But when TV's moved away from the goldfish bowl style at was incredible.

In my early teens I had a black and white portable in my bedroom and later a colour one.

I could never get away with putting it on late at night as the switch on the wall or the light under the door would alert my parents and I would get told to turn it off :swear: :lol:

Funny how the TV has so many memories for us , at my Nan & Grandads the tv went off for dinner , and after washing up and our little walk . I was given the job of warming up the tv :lol: :lol:
And my nan would say “ what’s on TV tonight “ my grandad would say “ a picture of the family and a pot plant “ :lol:
