| Hello from New York | ||
| Moe | 12/Aug/2002:01:53:13 | |
| What a trip down memory lane this
site is! It is absolutely fantastic, and its the first time Ive heard the No.73 theme tune since I was about 10 years of age! I loved No.73, and the memories came flooding back going through this site - I remembered things that I had totally forgoten, like Ethel's wedding. And Nadia! Forgot all about her. Well done on a truly fantastic site, and thanks for bringing me back to that time when Saturday mornings were ruled by Kim, Neil, Harry, Dawn, Ethel, Hamilton Dent and the Telebugs! Those were the days.. | ||

can relate to.... love it, lets not lose the old times...they can't be forgotton | ||

| Anna, Does your Dad have any pictures (or perhaps stories) about No73? If so, please send them to Paul (the webmaster) and we might get an update to this site! Lee | ||

| I'm so glad to find this site. My
dad was set decorater for TVS and with the set to no. 73 this, worked on Motormouth and Fragle Rock. I can prove to my friends I'm not insane and my favourite morning programme of that time does exist!! | ||

| Wow! Number 73! I remember this as one of the better Saturday morning programmes (and a lot better than Motormouth) How I would love to see some repeats (or even a video download section) on this Web Site (which is very good!) | ||

| Dynamite stuff. Thanks! I got into 73 when I was too old for Saturday morning TV- I was 18, it was 1983, I was living in Wales and caught the first networked series of this show from my home county of Kent. I was going out with my first girlfriend and almost got distracted by Kim Goody, who was, and ever more shall be, one of the most gorgeous women in the world. In fact, this website's reminded me of just what a fox she was. yes i remember her single, I remember the strand in 73 in 1986-7 when she was recording it... I thought, mm, not bad, but could be better. And then Aswad come along and do it 10 times better and get a No.1 Kim aside it was a great show, not least cos of Roger Ramjet which I have NEVER seen since. Brilliant toon. Good variety of offbeat bands too. No Jesus and Mary Chain or Miles Davis, but well, we can't all be perfect... 1987-8 was the heyday, cos not only was Kim still in it, Nadia de Lemeny was another stratospheric beauty. I actually wrote- at the ag | ||

| Hi there Are you looking for any No 73 videos for your collection? Regards Stuart Heaton | ||
| LeeT | 20/Apr/2002:13:36:41 | |
| As visitors to SATKIDS might
know, I would like No73 to be brought back to replace SMTV when it is (inevitably) axed. Not repeats, but a new beginning. What do others think? I think we should start a campaign HERE! | ||
| Pauly Boy | Seventy3 Carp Rock | 01/Apr/2002:20:36:56 |
| Yeah the show intrigues me and
scares me at the same time. Hurray! Ok Im leaving...but remember, im watching. | ||

| Oh deary me! Its been 15yrs now
since i had the "wonderful" opportunity of appearing live on No.73. It was the infamous episode with Iggy Pop in, ive still got the cringeworthy tape in which i donned a lovely blue velour dress with a hideous huge sailors bow on the front -&- red moon boots-ARRGHH! I was one of the lucky brats whose names got picked out of a hat to appear on the show for their birthday. My main memory was to go -&- "boogie on down" with my spangley bangles we had just made with Neil Buchanon. This was easily remembered coz whilst Mr Pop proceeded to er, fondle a huge teddy bear i got kicked in the fanny by the man himself! This of course was an accident, but it brings tears to my eyes to this day, no wonder i didnt have the nerve to ask for his autograph for my dad! Ra raaaa, bring back the good 'ol days of the No.73 era! | ||
| Heather Harrison | 12/Dec/2001:06:07:35 | |
| Sorry folks, 73 was not an
outstandingly brilliant show...you're just convinced things were better back then! However, it beat the crappy 'Get Fresh' with Gaz Topp, that ITV put on after it (although respect to Gaz for the BMX show that he did around 1986). By the way, does anyone remember 'knock your block off'? What's that curly-haired lad off 'Seaview' doing now, and, more importantly, what the fuck am I doing up at four in the morning typing this shit? I've wasted my life?! | ||
| Andy Mac | 10/Dec/2001:18:14:19 | |
| No 73 rocked - so innovative, and
the comedy bits were pure sitcom. I loved the whole concept - bands in the cellar, the sandwich quiz...Thanks for allowing me a wallow in nostalgia. | ||
| Kev Parry | 08/Dec/2001:03:51:23 | |
| I remember sitting in front of
the tv watching number 73 with my rice crispies and cold toast. I used to like watching it every saturday because of Roger Ramget and saturday was shopping day and we always used to go into town to buy somthing nice. It was a bit wierd when i typed Number 73 into the search engine and such a big site appeared. Nice to see some other people still remember the days of Buchanan's mullet and Toksvig in a semi fanciable stage. Long live Number 73! | ||
| Ian Aspley | 02/Dec/2001:14:30:48 | |
| I can remmember watching number
73 when I was a kid it was a good show This web site is also very good and brought back some tv memories for me | ||
| Rob Lubbock | 16/Nov/2001:22:57:12 | |
| What a great site! I remember No73 very well! Saturday mornings were worth watching again on ITV after Tiswas had finished in 1982. The Sandwich quiz with Ethel was fab Sandi was great at doing it she was so funny! Well done Paul good stuff so.................... "LET'S GO BOOGIE WITH THE BAND!" | ||
| Rita Moore | harry potter | 30/Oct/2001:02:06:04 |
| Excellent site. Thanks | ||
| sande | 19/Oct/2001:03:10:44 | |
| oh my god I can't believe its
true!!!!!!!!!!!! after all these years of trying to convinve people, friends even family that there was this programme called no.73 -&- then 7T3. they thot I was insane but I'm not its realy true it did exist!! | ||
| Mandi Toksvig | 12/Oct/2001:15:29:14 | |
| I used to watch No.73
religiously, and to this day, remain one of Sandi's biggest fans. She appeared on Light Lunch with Mel and Sue, I asked her if she enjoyed her time on No.73. She said she loved it, and would love to do more kids television. Can you imagine that, a No.73 special, 20 yrs on.... Anyway, it was never the same after Sandi left, and although I still loved the show, the loss was too much to bear. Probably started watching BBC then...... Thanks for a nostalia trip. xx | ||
| Clair simmons | 04/Oct/2001:00:04:26 | |
| Well I have been talking about No
73 for years now to friends and no one seems to remember it except me it was great to find out that I wasn't dreaming it and that loads of others remember it. | ||
| arron | talk21 | 27/Sep/2001:00:48:37 |
| well what can i say i was just
talking to my mate the other day about no 73 saying do you remember that. And now there is a web site fantastic well done to paul -&- co thanks and i will be visiting again. | ||
| Amanda Cox | 26/Sep/2001:01:43:03 | |
| It really surprised me to learn
later in life that Sandi Toksvig was an adult comedienne, and I couldn't see her on things like "Who's Line is it Anyway" without thinking of dear Ethel! Scoop - I met Andrea who played Dawn when I was working in a shoe shop in Bromley in 1989. She seemed surprised that I remebered her from no73 and I think she tried to diassociate herself from it a bit as she was starting a new career at Sky or something, which is a shame as 73 was a good programme to be remebered for. Was it shot in Maidstone in the Maidstone Studios which was once The Family Channel? | ||
| Thomas Victor Smith | 24/Sep/2001:02:01:48 | |
| God, I must have been about 5
when I watched this!!! I remember singing the theme tune on the way to school realy, REALLY loudly! In fact, the local ice hockey team have just brought in new red kits with yellow numbers, and one of our players is squad number 73 (though the name escapes me). | ||
| Simon King | Life is fast - hang on.... | 16/Sep/2001:06:42:38 |
| Well, I thought it was just me
that reckoned 73 was the best saturday morning TV show ever. I was barely nine when 7T3 ended, and I was in a *lousy* mood for months afterwards - Motormouth garbage.... I distinctly remember the toaster being used as a projector, and the blinds for as screen, and the sound they made when they folded round. I remember when they had 'living sculptures' on the walls in the lounge. I remember mushrooms being grown in the basement. I remember a couple of 8-bit coders (The Oliver Twins?? From Codemasters??) coding a rudimentry game live on air from scratch. I remember laughing till I choked when the bathroom fell into the lough. I remember a sign hanging on the shower saying how it was cheaper to have a shower than a bath. Phew!! That's a lot of I remembers. When I tune into kids TV today, the saturday shows seem to miss the point. I *loved* the surreality of the storylines in 73, something that carried on in shows like Ghost Train, Paralle | ||
| Matthew Smith | 10/Sep/2001:21:04:42 | |
| I remember begging my mum to buy
the TV Times with the No. 73 scrach and sniff card. When I watched 73 that Saturday, all the boxes smelt of cut grass and nothing else. I was very upset. | ||

| Noticed The Iggy Pop clip from
No73 was on the nostalgia music show on C4 last week, with an interview with the director!! There should be some repeats of No73 on one of the satellite channels. | ||

| Collin Amner | 10/Aug/2001:04:48:55 | |
| Thanks for that nostalgic trip
down memory lane.. There are three things I remember clearly about No 73 1. They use to project Disney cartoons through the toaster ( and I think onto a blind) 2. I'm sure that they had a comedy murder mystery called..I think' Someone for Dinner'..or something like that 3. I remember a man who made a recording of a brass band just by making noises into a tape recorder. ..oh yeah and I'm sure that i use to call Harry...'Flash' Harry | ||

| LEE THEASBY | 04/Jun/2001:17:22:12 | |
| How about some comments on the
making of the programme, then Dave? You must have some interesting stories! Was the programme (apart from the links you mentioned) entirely live, or was it pre-recorded at all? Anyone like to contact me regarding NO73 or other classic tv: lee.theasby@ntlworld.com | ||
| Dave Humphries | 04/Jun/2001:16:40:29 | |
| Aah!Days of yore past! What a
giggle doing all the films for inserts into the show. 'Sands of Thyme' being a particular favourite with days of re-recording dialogues for the off screen bits.....great fun. Love to all who remember Dave and Sue. | ||
| Christopher Tsangari | 02/Jun/2001:01:41:28 | |
| Unbelievable! I feel like I am 6
years old again. It's such a coincidence that the other day I discovered an old episode on VHS (taped in Nov 1986) - I nearly cried watching it because I can now understand everything they say now (I knew the words by heart at that age but didn't register the meaning - of course I was only six years old). I probably last saw that episode at age 8 (I am now aged 21). What happened to Kim Goody? I had a crush on her then...! (I last spotted her on "The Brian Conley Show" as one of the background singers). A plea to the Pearson televison (UK): You have as a whole an array of channels on Sky Digital - PLEASE REPEAT THE SHOWS!!! You already repeat "Knight Rider" and a load of others. | ||
| Matthew Coffey | 21/May/2001:16:21:28 | |
| Top site! I was one of the original brats running around the set with an occasional speaking part. We were selected not only for our attendance of the drama club at the highly prestigious Senacre High School but also for the fact we were shorter than Sandi! Any fellow childhood superstar thespian chums out there send me a mail, I'd love to get hold of an episode or two. | ||

| Simon Wilson | The Alisha's Attic Official Website | 13/May/2001:02:31:37 |
| No way! I remember this TV
program from when I was only 5 or 6 years old and I loved it, though didn't understand much of it! I couldn't quite remember the name of it until recently when I turned up "Number 73" on a search engine and then jogged my memory with the excellent AVI of the title theme. Well done on an excellent website! :o) | ||
| Miriam | 03/May/2001:19:53:11 | |
| I am so happy to have found this
site! I loved no 73 so much and I had an absolutely MASSIVE crush on Harry! Well done for such an informative site. | ||
| Lee Theasby | 06/Apr/2001:18:13:16 | |
| Brilliant site! I remember when one of the guests ( a wildlife expert?!) called Nick Staverson by his real name instead of Harry! Was No73 always live or pre-recordered? Lee | ||
| Jon | 06/Apr/2001:12:13:40 | |
| Interesting site, which I came
across purely from doing a search on AltaVista, after reading an article in the "Memory Alpha" section of TV Zone magazine. Anyway, good site, but not enough pictures. Also, what about some more info on Andrea Arnold, please?! She was probably the first girl I ever had a crush on! I thought she was an absolute stunner, and still do, even to this day. Does she have a fan- club or website or anything like that, that anyone knows anything about? I would love to get a signed picture of her! Jon | ||
| Mike King | 29/Mar/2001:15:53:07 | |
| Great fun looking back, I worked
on nearly all of the programmes from Gillingham and Maidstone as part of the Sound Crew. I have several items of memorabilia including the complete 'Novel Novel by Roger Mcgough'. I can assure you it was as much fun to work on as it was to watch. | ||
| Shiv | 29/Mar/2001:15:41:26 | |
| I'm sitting here at Meridian's TV
studios in Maidstone with Mike (sound- effects-extraordinaire) King - who worked on No.73. Although he doesn't appretiate me reminding him I used to watch the show when I was at school, he is a great fountain of knowledge when it comes down to all things 73ish, and will, at the drop of a hat, burst into "Hey you! Get ready get on the street . . ." Cool site, great to know there's someone keeping the memory alive! Do you think we could sell the idea to the BBC to replace Live and Kickin'! | ||
| Louis | 22/Mar/2001:02:24:00 | |
| Great site!, Unfortunately, can
only vaguely remember No. 73 From Me childhood, But your site's filled me in with what else I need to know. Cheers Mate. On another note, Is it just me or did TVS Make the dogs doodahs of kids TV back in the '80's? Who else out there can remember stuff like DO IT!, Mr. Majieka Or even Fraggle Rock?. Has anyone got any No. 73 Tapes or DO IT! tapes. TVS' Archive is in the USA, So no chance there Then!. | ||
| J. Edgar Hoover III | 21/Mar/2001:00:10:41 | |
| OK dudes, we all know that No.73
was the best kids' TV in the whole of history and I must say that this Web site which I've looked in on a few times truely does it proud. WELL DONE PAUL - it's bloody fantastic. I planned something similar myself for a long time but never managed to find the time - I am so pleased that someone has saved me the trouble and gone ahead and done it properly. No.73, of course, introduced us to that most beautiful of people Sandi Toksvig, whom from the start it was clear was destined for great things :-) Thankyou for an excellently designed memory jogging Web site. Wouldn't it we wonderful (if not a tad sad and spooky) if we could all get together for a huge No.73 party some time - say, its 20th aniversary for example? Who's with me?

| Hi, Brilliant website, i can still remember no73 on saturday mornings, p [itchged against saturday supersore and going live, but No73 was always my favourite. Remember the days of live bands performing in the cellar and ethel's sandwich quiz, i still remember that well! 7T3 was cool and i remember that the best, shame it finished so soon though. | ||
| Lucy | 05/Oct/2000:16:02:49 | |
| Well well well.....whilst
rummaging around in my attic the other day I came across my old No. 73 annual!!!! it's brilliant (73 alternative uses for a shed...fantastic) I spent hours pouring over it until my friends all decided I was pathetic cos they couldn't remember such a show. I kept it out and shall keep it to show my children what proper saturday morning T.V. was like, not this Live and Kicking shit. Then today, while nosing around the internet I stumble upon this little gem of a website devoted to the whole program. wuuuuunderful. See ya. | ||
| Andy | 21/Aug/2000:00:21:08 | |
| Fantastic Site - it's great to
relive some of the memories from Number 73. Thanks for reminding me of the
gorgeous Andrea Arnold (surely the twin sister of Charlie Dimmock? :-) ).
I can remember sending off for the 7T3 badge - If I remember we had to
send in a design for our own 7T3 badge, I can remember waiting ages for
the badge to come so I sent away again - Low and behold I had 2 badges
come in post on the same day. Do you think I'm the only person in the
world to have conned the 7T3 production team and come away with 2 badges?
By the way, does anyone out their know what Andrea Arnold is upto these
days? | ||
| Rob | 09/Aug/2000:09:24:09 | |
| Have spent the last couple of
weeks discovering some of the most amazing kids TV websites, this has to be one of the best I've come across! Am I right in thinking that the first band ever featured was Big Country, and this was in fact their TV debut? Please E-mail me if you know for sure! My friend Alison has just said she remembers Howard Jones playing the Sandwich Game (?!?!) Anyway keep up the good work. Sandi, you're the best! (Someone please help me). | ||

| I AM SO GLAD I HAVE STUMBLED UPON
THIS SITE. MANY TIMES I HAVE ASKED FRIENDS (IN ONE OF THOSE REMINISING TYPE CONVERSATIONS) 'DO YOU REMEMBER NUMBER 73?'. NOBODY EVER REMEMBERED AND I THOUGHT I MUST BE MAD OR HAD DREAMT IT OR SOMETHING. I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU ARE GIVING THE PROGRAMME THE FULL CREDIT IT DESERVES...EXCELLENT PROGRAMME. | ||

| This was the first ITV network
show I worked on as a vision control engineer, the first time I had my "name in lights" across the UK! I joined TVS in September 1984 from the BBC, so just missed series 4. To say it was fun would be an understatement - all that energy! The studios live on as The Maidstone Studios, and right now Neil Buchanan is in the very same studio making another series of Art Attack. | ||
| ruthrik | 07/May/2000:19:03:59 | |
| Hi! Nice page! I got a 73 badge -
don't know what series it was from, but it is a yellow 73 on saloon type doors. Any offers? Also, does anyone know where I can get onto a Flumps website? | ||
| Richard Addison | 03/May/2000:01:44:49 | |
| Just paid my first visit to "Hey
you". Quite a shock to see my relatively youthful face staring back at me. Brought back some brilliant memories. A couple of details - I think you've got Martin and Hazel down as having been in series 1-7. It was actually 2-7. Also, I'm fairly sure Tony Deal showed up before series 4. Or am I misunderstanding the numbers that appear after our names. Couldn't see an e-mail address for the site, so I'm using this route. Great to know we're not forgotten. It was a ground-breaking show. Cheers, Richard Addison (Martin Edwards) | ||

| Fantastic site for the best
Saturday morning prog ever.... One of the few memories I have of 73 was of Sandi Toksvig modelling a dress made out of bin bags!! Wouldn't get that on Live and Kicking would you? Keep up the good work!! (is there any surviving episodes of No.73 on tape?) Rich. | ||
| John Mason | Honda Gyro Canopy Heaven | 25/Feb/2000:23:40:27 |
| No. 73 was the best kid's TV show
of ALL time. I best remember the classic episode when the bath (at least I think it was a bath?!) fell through the floor into the room below. I used to love watching it. Even though 7T3 was rubbish, I was one of the many who sent off for a 7T3 badge and it took ages to recieve it due to it's popularity! | ||
| Ruth | 10/Nov/1999:14:11:32 | |
No. 73 was fantastic. Wonder what the gang are doing now. Except for Neil and Sandy (Ethel) We still see them on TV. Anyone remember Kim Goody's single "Don't Turn Around". I've still got my copy. | ||

| Andrew Dale | 17/Oct/1999:23:02:07 | |
| Hello Morris old
chap... Thought I'd update you on the activities of former 73 resident Neil Buchanan as I've just been watching a thrilling episode of the classic costume drama "Art Attack". The man's modesty is amazing, his own assessment of each completed masterpiece being "Not bad eh?" Why with 60 channels to choose from would I watch such shit? And it is literally shit, rhinocerous shit to be exact. Today's program saw Neil at the zoo where he collected a nice big barrow full of rhino turds which he then expertly moulded into the image of the animal that originally produced it. "Not bad at all eh?" Ever thought about adding a small section for this sub-73 shite on your webpage? | ||

articles relating to 73 which they would like to share, do please pass them on. I'll stick them on the website before you can say 'Delectable, delicatessenable', along with a glowing credit so that everyone will know you for the star you are. | ||

| The sandwich quiz
always set me up for lunch! I was starving by the time the presenters were forced to dance to some crappy pop band at the end of the show! "Let's boogie with the band!" INDEED! I was racing to the kitchen at that point! |

succesful Director. Two of her most recent projects have been "Wildtrack" and "Brilliant Creatures" both for CITV. |

these old programmes again. Does anyone have any info on an old programme called Screen Test? |

| number 73 eh? Whatever
happened to quality tv like that. It's not even worth waking up on a Saturday any more without Sandi's welcoming smile, Dawn on those rollerskates or delightful Neil Bucchanan. What was that game that involved a giant toaster?! |

| Anyone remember Iggy
Pop prentending to shag the big teddy bear in the basement when everyone was there to Boogie with the band! Ahh, those were the days! Thanks for the memories from a Canadian exile! |

| Yes, I remember this
show too, although there are no emotions associated with those memories at all. The theme tune lingers on in my mind, as does and episode where there was a James Bond spoof, and a sketch where all the characters were French, but spoke English and had their lines subtitled into French. I prefered Swap Shop and Tiswas, but there you go. |

| I had completely
forgotten about No 73 until I saw it on the list of British Children TV shows. I used to watch it (begrudgingly at first because I loved Tiswas) but then got into it and I also started to fancy the Harry character - I think he later went out with Anita Dobson in real life? Well I was only young (10/11 yrs) in 1982. |

Crowther) can be currently seen in the TV commercial for Yours magazine, a magazine for the over 60s. It's mostly shown during the adbreaks for Countdown and 15 to 1. |

| Ah, brilliant!!! One of
the better Saturday morning TV progs (well, in it's pre 7T3 days of course!) Anyone remember the yodelling doorbell? Cheers for a brilliant site - and of course the .wavs of the theme tunes! |

| Well, this is for all
those who thought I was crackers when I started talking about No. 73 at work the other day. I'm glad there are others that remember this. Things that spring to mind are the rollar-boots, the cupboard under the stairs, the outfits that ethel wore, how i used to fancy the pants off neil and the sandwich quiz....that was my fave...with the prize of a gold knife and butter (or something like that). I'd love to see some greatest moments from this fab show. And please try and put the theme tune and quiz on mp3 or something like that. It would be great to hear it again. Splendid!! |

| This brings back
memories. Mainly of series 7/8. I remeber the episode clearly where the bath tub fell through the ceiling( don't know why). I also remember this being the first TV appearance of Morris Minor and The Majors with their infamous Stutter Rap song (of which for some reason i own a copy of). Ah the memories. God i feel old. |

| What a great surprise
it was to find No.73! I am just glad to find that other people remember it as well as me! I feel really old but what the hell! Does anyone remember when they tried to hypnotise the rabbit by drawing a line on the floor with chalk? It still amuses me now! |

| Yay! I remember
watching no. 73! Remember when they used to darken the room and turned on the projector when they wanted to show cartoons? Anyway, even though I watched with gusto, for the life of me, I can't remember Sandie thingybob being in it, although that's the only person my older brother can remember in no. 73. He says every time he sees her on TV, all he can think of is No. 73. Thank you for a great web site! PS. Did it really run until '88? God, I feel so old, even though I was born in 1982. |

| Somethings stick in
your mind from long ago, and this is one of them. I particularly remember FRED DYNAGE on FA cup day 1983 Man utd v Brighton. No reason, I just remember it. Did it run on the full ITV network up until 1988 ? I have to put up with Yorkshire TV (although I live in Lincs) and don't remember it being on in 1988. |

| I found this page while
on a nostalgia trip and it inspired me to go routing through the loft to find my old annuals, badges and a signed post card! This was without a doubt the best show on TV - my first ever crush was on Harry, me being all of five years old at the time. I've got a lot of memories of the show, especially Dawn's rollerskates! |

| I was only 6 and still
living in Scotland when No 73 started ...what I remember is driving my mother completely mad singing the theme tune all the time and infuriating her by refusing to move from the house until it had finished! It was also the start of my passion for Roger Ramjet!My most cherished memories are when I got an autographed postcard and letter telling me my entry into the "dot dot dot" competition (if anyone remembers that) came second! I hate to say it but the postcards were lost when we moved to Australia much to my dismay!Fantastic web page! Keep it up can't wait to hear the theme tune again!!!!!! |

| Good Site bringing back
some very fond childhood memories! Any chance of the theme tune in any format? |

| What can i say! The
only page i can find about my fave show of all time! Sure it was along time ago but it was the king of morning shows! If anyone has any old tapes of the show let me know !! Great page, keep it comming! |

| Great site... I only
wish I could remember more of the show. Being three when the show started, and nine when it ended, I can only remember certain parts of it, but the music is one of the things I *CAN* remember! You must try and get an mp3 of it! |

| Eee, it fair takes me
back. The No73 crisis I'll always remember is Harry leaving for an episode or two after a row with Ethel, (Details, as always, have been misplaced behind the sofa of my brain). For some reason it really choked me up. The power of TV on young minds.. I resolved never to argue with anyone ever again. Lasted about 10 minutes, of course, but it was a nice sentiment at least. Cool site - Thanks for the memories. |

| Love it! I used to
watch No.73 every week and would always try to remember the Sandwich quiz lyrics! |

| As is traditional, I
thought I'd get the guest-book up and 'running' myself. Hope you've enjoyed the site, and it's brought back a few memories of those halcyon Saturdays, when 'Get Set for Summer' was the only alternative, and Ant and Dec were just a gleam in Mr Ant and Mr Dec Snr's eyes... (Did you know that a 'halcyon' is a seabird related to the kingfisher? Quite how they became famous for their days is a bit of a mystery.) |
