HR puffnstuff was one of the first shows I saw in colour
Didn't have a colour set at that time so it was a Saturday treat to
go and watch it at the local club where they had a colour tv

No wonder Jack Wild went of the rails

I was into the Double Deckers...

I wanted to run away from home, and live with the kids on the bus!
Well, it seemed plausible when I was about 7 or 8 !!

Didn't everything?
[even Liza Goddard.....sigh.......]

I'm so old, I can remember her and Mark McManus in Skippy.

And "Daktari" as well (with Central America standing in for Africa).

And what about Ron Ely as "Tarzan" (no Jane in that show though, sadly)!


- Eric

Meant to say, early series of Ace Of Wands had Tony Selby and Judy Loe (wife of Richard Beckinsale, mother of Sam and Kate) as his sidekicks. They were replaced by Roy Holder and Petra (Michael Caine's niece in Get Carter, sister of Kika) Markham.

roy holder! that's the one! didn't he have a somewhat pock marked face, and his character's name was diamond something or other?!

flat eric - you tha man!
i fcking loved the freewheelers but i've never spoken to anyone else who can remember it at all!

He and Petra were supposed to be brother and sister, I think. According to imdb, Chas and Mikki Diamond.

Roy Holder;He was in sorry too and a play about national service where he goes AWOL.algarve addick wrote:
