Classic documentary on demand via BBC iplayer, great memories for people of a certain age.

Did anyone on here see him jump the 13 busses (or not) at Wembley in May 1975?

Yes but what about that 70's toy that looked great in the advert but was gash in reality!

Far from gash, it was INCREDIBLE.

I had the scramble van as well. It came with a ramp so he could jump over his own van!

Well the concensus is that I was wrong about the EK toy. To complete my humiliation are people going to tell me that Flightdeck was also great. For me another one with a flattering advert!
