Be honest...

[Pevenseagull]

the f***ing up the goldfish pond still pisses me off

If the despicable vandals had smashed the set of 'Why Don't You' to pieces that would be different as Junior Kickstart would probably have been on earlier on school summer holiday mornings, I might even have hung around for 'Play Chess' and now been a grand master or have smashed every bone in my body in some ludicrous biking stunt. But NO! 'Why Don't You' - I f***ing hated those little shits, even when I was 8.

Oh ............ and I've been told by a reliable source that Simon Groom used to wear inappropriate shorts when they went on their summer holiday adventures that meant they had to do numerous re-shots because his balls were hanging out.

'Why Don't You?' was f***ing awful (and I was a good boy at school ........ who the f*** they thought their target market was ...... Jesus Christ)

In my day as a junior in the summer school hols we had Why Don't You, Banana Splits, Laurel and Hardy and Lone Ranger... grounding stuff for us 60's kids.

Where did this come from? Is it the 30th anniversary or something.... like the 50 year Cuban Missle Crisis?

Just thinking about it has made me

The 30th Anniversary will be 21st November next year, hopefully Thatcher will die at an appropriate time for a joint national day of mourning.... that would be sweet.

This thread was about BP... how does it manage to manifest into Margaret Thatcher? Do some of you have no life whatsoever than to ruin simple topics? I read here religiously, I like and despair the views of this board, in equal amounts, but to politicise a thread that has nothing to do with politics? Now this is where I truly despair.

I loved Harold Lloyd and the superior cameras they used which gave the black and white no 'rips' at all ... quality capstick and cinematography.

I've seen an interview in which its stated a young Dennis Wise was one of the kids that smashed the garden up, long before he was famous

Oh, and i am sure i have mentioned it before, but a friend of mine was Bungled in the 90s. Awoke in the morning with the chap he'd met and shagged the night before, asked him what his job was and his honest reply was "I'm Bungle". My friend was abviously agog and i think back in the sack they leapt. He probably wished to get the number of the ambiwristrous fist that controlled Zippy too, but one Rainbow star is probably good enough for his records.

Blue Peter always did have a SORDID undercurrent though. I seem to recall it being discovered that Peter Duncan had once made an appearance in some kind of soft porn movie, there was the guy in the mid 1980s who they found out (won't somebody think of the children!) was gay and later died of an AIDS related illness, Richard Bacon had his little cocaine episode, and I'm sure the aforementioned Janet Ellis was shunted out because- the horror!- she got pregnant while UNMARRIED

Must have nearly given Biddy Baxter a heart attack.

I'd have happily shunted Janet Ellis.

"why don't you "
Sitting at home watching tv
Turn it off it's no good for me
Why don't you
Just switch of your tv set
& go and do something less boring instead
Sitting at home watching tv
Turn it off it's no good for me
WHY DON'T YOU

Shit programme liked the theme toon (sing the theme toon )

I was waiting for Bungle to be implemented in the Saville investigations to be honest!

Remember their annual appeals? Organising a bring & buy sale or collecting milk bottle tops, however worthy, was asking for a kicking in most schools. Only done by the sort of kids who sent their paintings in to Tony Hart in the hope of getting displayed on The Gallery.

View attachment 35466

I remember the Blue Peter Appeals because my dad worked at the BBC and people would dump milk bottle tops, stamps, scrap metal etc on us that the poor bugger would have to carry up on the train. One year it was keys and my mum was organising a jumble sale at the same time. Someone had brought in a cash tin (the sort that had different sections for holidays/electric/rent etc) and it was locked but I could hear coins rattling. I went to the box of Blue Peter keys at the bottom of the stairs (very safety concsious our family) and picked out the first one and lo and behold, the tin was open and there was £18 in there - about £200 in today's money. Looking back, that could have set a nine year old up for life but I was honest and Mum had unfortunately remembered who handed the tin in. I did get £1 reward but that was hardly going to set me on the road to Alan Sugardom was it?
