Not until next week! I watch them on YouTube! My oh remembers far more than I do, so I YouTube to see what he's on about. Cat Weasle was the Crow man in Worsel Gummidge.
OH says "H R Puff'n'Stuff"? No idea about that one.

Bloody Hell this really is a trip down "don't go there" memory lane..!
And some of the crap we all watched does go some way to explaining our rather dubious personalities
Hoovie,
Tiswas - Confused Sad I've never got the attraction of chucking food around Confused
Trust me I didn't watch Tiswas for the food.
Does the name Sally James not ring a bell..?

it rinmgs a bell.
a lot of the progs that have been posted my school friends were into manically but I wasn't - never been one for the slapstick comedy like the 'splits and also worzel gummage was a bit slapstick.
Catweazel was a scruffy magician, IIRC?

Blimey, never realised how much of the 60's & 70's I missed!
We never had a TV in the house till I was 13 by which time I'd discovered bicycles and girls (and beer & fags!) And when we did get a TV I was too busy cycling to see girls (and trying to con the off-licence)
So apart from nipping round to my pals house to watch Dr Who with William Hartnell on their 12" black & white (which scared the hell out of me walking home!) I never saw any of those programmes.
