Can remember when there was only one channel (BBC) and they played the National Anthem and closed down at 10.30. There were lots of intervals featuring a potters wheel or a kitten with a ball of wool. Perhaps we should go back to those days, with a twelve inch black and white screen.

i still find it hard to see why anyone has a tv these days, everything is available elsewhere for free. you could save yourselves a fortune by turning off - energy consumption, tv licence, replacing the damn thing for the newest model (even when the one you have still works fine, and aftera ll, the old tv was ok last week!), subscriptions to companies that ruin football/sport, mental energy by not having to listen to inane commentators. Im sure there is more but its been so long since i watched tv, that i forget.
there you go, thats off my chest now
anyone for fracking..

I used to watch snooker in black & white when I was a student.

The first woman I fell in love with. I remember it well.
Then I went to primary school & fell in love with Miss Thomas.
I was an early developer.

And they used to have like a tractor tyre with the world printed on it revolving with a globe on top and the test cards with the clown and girl on. Much better than say Breaking Bad.

Just for all you youngsters on here who were brought up on wall-to-wall broadcasts in colour. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
It's hard to remember that this was the best we used to have and in B&W. And we were grateful.

My first tv for my zx spectrum had a dial (like a radio) instead of buttons - I'm 37. When I was allowed to put the spectrum on the big colour tv (a 21"), it was like xmas.

Bloody hell, Iggy, get out of my head!!
I had a dream last night where I took a tv &/or a computer back in time to show what was coming. Then in my dream I discovered that it was no use without the internet or broadcasting.
Eerie or what?

Having a northern in-law family, I'm sick of Peter Kay. They're so proud of him as he's 'one of them'. I liked Pheonix Nights but his stand-up is awful.
I watched the first episode of The Walking Dead season 4 yesterday.... meh! It was fairly dull.
If stand up's your thing - check out Terry Alderton [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Played in goal for Southend, is on Eastenders, is a brilliant stand-up comedian.

House of fools swings between being immature badly done slapstick and hilarious Vic and Bob at their best, I have turned it off a couple of times now.

It's very hit and miss. It's still better than Mrs Brown's Boys - why does that exist? Why?

After hearing lots of people banging on about Mr Brown's Boys, I thought I'd better watch some of it.
What a crock of horse-shit. I have never seen something so unfunny in my miserable life.
Pete Kay - crap, not funny Johnny Vegas - absolutely shite Most modern comedy acts = shite, not funny.
I could go on but I may be mistaken for a miserable bastard.
