Following on a bit from the Childhood Memories thread i was just wondering what everyone earliest recolections of TV are?
Here are mine. A pretty random selection i think you will agree.
Here are mine. A pretty random selection i think you will agree.
- The Thames TV ident - in the days when ITV used to show the program makers name before the program started. This was shown before programs such as Button Moon and Dangermouse which is why i remember it.
- A news report on the Hillsbrough (sp?) disaster in 1989.
- Yazz performing The Only Way is Up on Top of The Pops
- Timmy Mallet telling us to WAC like an Egyption
- The TV-am egg cups. These were giant egg cups shown when TV-am finished for the day with the year of production written on them.
- The Rep of Ireland beating Romaina on penlaties in Italia '90.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

I also remember TV-AM this guy who presented the weather had these really dodgy jumpers and this woman called Lizzy doing the keep fit in a classy towling track suite.
friend of mine has a real phobia of clowns, and reckons that was where she got it from. was pretty damn freaky - the girl and clown just sitting there, watching you as you watch them, waiting........ that sorta thing just freaks ya out!
dan, you must be about the same age as me - one of the first news stories i remember was about the hillsborough tragedy. the rest sounds about right too.

Also, Layla on the Peugot ads, and the pepsi one with (I think) Michael J Fox, where he dives out of a window to get a Diet Pepsi for his gorgeous new neighbour.

LOL. I remember that too and who could forget Bob doing Blockbusters which was on either after or before the A-Team.
I also remember getting up early with my old man once and watching the Piper Alpha disaster on TV.
Oh yeah, and I think my first ever TV proggy I really got into was Pob.
Oh happy days !!
