My favorite advert of all time... just shows how much Britain has changed over the years, Part of Winston Churchill's speech played through from WW2 to the spitfires flying over.

Great British Railway Journeys will be on Tyneside tonight, as part of the new series.

Portillo uses his Bradshaws guide as usual and ends up operating the Swing Bridge.

Wonder if we see any Supergran re-enactments?

I think I remember watching this when I was in school. Couldn't tell you what on earth happened in it like, just vaguely remember the song.

A favourite show for most of my friends at school.

Won't be the same without the Garveys, and I don't like that Sheepf***er from Wales they've got in to replace Kenny Ireland - Donald and Jacqueline were close personal friends of mine. Wink

I've been watching it since it started. Highlight of the Friday night, even for posh people! I was about 7 or 8.

Those were the days. You can find most of them easily on YouTube...

'That old tanned woman'...do you mean Madge?

Filmed on the Byker Wall if I remember correctly.

Our school was fortunate enough to purchase one BBC computer to share amongst the entire school.
The excitement generated when the school managed to get hold of the Geordie Racer computer game, was tremendous...

BBC Computers, theres a memory, my primary school had one as well, played Geordie Racer a couple of times and another game where the aim was to get up Mount Everest in one piece...

When I moved to Chorister School, they had the Acorn Archimedes computers, they succeeded the BBC Computer and I spent many a hour playing Man Utd in Europe Big Grin...

By the time I was back in Comprehensive, they got there first PC's and Internet in 1997, where I spent god knows how many hours learning to play Champ Manager 97/98 Big Grin
