I had a deprived childhood... I had to watch 'Multicoloured Swap Shop' in black and white.

I felt that MSS had better cartoons than Tiswas, but Tiswas definately had more gunge.

Noel's jumpers probably benefited from being in black and white.

Both were excellent programmes. Swap Shop was BBC so a national programme for its duration. TISWAS was probabbly London Weekend Television and therefore for a long time was only regional.
I had never heard of it before I went to university in Cardiff. At that time it was not shown in the Yorshire TV region. In the north it hit Tyne Tees quite a long while before Yorkshire TV.
Other show which arrived in the North much later was Happy Days.
Quack!

I always fancied that woman on Picture Book, but I was scared of the face on the door in Andy Pandy. And can anyone explain what Rag Tag and Bobtail was about?

I think it was Patricia Driscoll on Picture Book. And I think it was also her who played Maid Marion in Robin Hood (Riding Through the Glen vintage).

Rag, Tag and Bobtail were a hedgehog, mouse and bunny weren't they, on a Tuesday?

And Sally James or Maggie Philbin as a fantasy figure? No contest!

There was an urban myth doing the rounds that spike milligan was the phantom - but i am sure it was just a myth and debunked, but I can't remeber who it really was. That was useful wasn't it.

Both! A terrible dilema each Saturday. Oh for a remote control then. I had a dog just like Spit - all the kids in the street shouted "Spit" whenever they saw him.I should have entered that Spit-a-like competition, he would have walked it.

Houdi Elbow, man of mystery [ Bob Carolgees ]

Compost corner, condensed milk sandwiches, the cage, and who can forget Sir Trevor MacDonald shitting himself in case he got drowned.

Best kids show ever, and I was in my thirties.

My claim to fame -I was in the cage circa 197....... All I remember was Chris Tarrant being vile to the kids. It was filmed in Birmingham which is were Chris T was a tv reporter for Midlands Today (or its itv equivalent) My favourite tv programme was Follyfoot and Peyton Place -not strictly kids stuff I know but it was on at 4.15 each day and I used to leg it out of school as I was heavily in love with Ryan O'Neal.

Strangely - didn't really watch either unless the weather was really awful. I had a bike and Hampstead heath to get lost on.
