Was there ever any merit whatsoever in On the Buses?

Does our car have a notice on it inviting overtaking drivers to cut in dangerously close, preferably without indicating?

Was there ever a book more riddled with inconsistencies than The Voyage of the Dawn Treader?

Why, when there are tens of thousands of waxwings in the country, have I still not seen one?

Are there any more questions I should be asking?

I'm trying to remember which channels some of my earliest viewing was on. I have a feeling Thunderbirds, Lost in Space and Torchy were all ITV in which case we weren't quite as tuned into BBC as I thought although I'm sure you're right about both the quality and the quantity on the Beeb. Jackanory was followed by two 25 minute programmes before the Magic Roundabout or something similar rounded things off! It all makes for a very interesting trip down memory lane. Oh and the adverts did used to be very irritating!

I'm pretty sure Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett were on BBC2 (but that Marina was on ITV). I could be wrong. But I don't remember ads in the middle of Thunderbirds & CS, for example, and they were quite long episodes.

Well, that confirms it then, I didn't start watching ITV until 1981!
