  1. Magnus Pike

    Can anyone remember Magnus Pike, the mad scientist who would pop up on all sorts of programmes during the early 80's. Never had a clue what he was going on about as I was little, just some crazy lanky old man jumping around and waving his arms about!

  2. Simon Gipps-Kent

    I've recently watched the DVD of the series, 'Midnight is a Place'. It was great to see it again after all these years. The star was Simon Gipps-Kent, a prolific actor in the 1970s. He starred in 'A Traveller in Time' and 'Noah's Castle' as well as appearing in episodes of 'The Tomorrow People',...

  3. Your most embarrassing celebrity crushes from the past

    I've recently fallen in love with the Edward Brayshaw of the 1960's *swoon* not realising he was Mr Meaker in Rentaghost *blush* Go on, admit it. Who did/do you have an embarrasing crush on?

  4. Shirley Jones

    A remarkable actress and musical theatre star, many of my generation will know her as mum in 'The Partridge Family'. I was delighted to hear that she is now in the UK performing in her own show. Alas, I don't think I will get to see her. http://i46.tinypic.com/2wokvnt.jpg This is a recent...

  7. Leif Garrett

    What are people's memories of Leif? He is practically the same age as me and I recall very clearly seeing him on Top of the Pops in the seventies, singing, 'I Was Made For Dancing' - complete with spray-on trousers! Leif started his career as an actor and was only 5 years old when he did his...

  9. Brett Smiley

    One of the most luckless young men to try and ride the Glam rock bandwagon. He first came to the UK in 1974 when he was managed by Andrew Oldham (former Stones manager), did an appearance on Russell Harty's show for his single 'Space Age Love Song' backed with 'Va Va Va Voom'. His wide eyed...

  10. Mickie Most

    How many remember him? He was born Michael Hayes in 1938, had a small hit in 1959 and then moved to South Africa for a few years where he became an instant superstar with all his records hitting No.1 there. When he returned to the UK he turned his hand to record producing for many hit artists...

  11. Talking Bob Downe

    Does anyone else remember the comedian Bob Down? He was an Australian with plastic looking blonde hair. His act was camp and his jokes usually were inoffensive innuendoes. Very funny. He used to be on in the early-mid 90's but suddenly disappeared from TV. Where is he now?

    Hi Guys, I had a very interesting conversation with my sister the other day where she enlightened me to the fact that in the 70's, having pampas grass in your garden or in your house (usually in a vase on the bend in a staircase) was a kind of "sign" to visitors/passers by that the occupants of...

  16. Stacia Blake

    She was the dancer with Hawkwind. Spent a lot of time topless or nude on stage. Apparently she's now like a landscape artist. I saw them once in Harlow (Think I posted that in here somewhere already ) and she just had a thong on - pretty amazingy for a 16 year old to see - especially as she...

  18. Exclamation Spook! Slither....

    Does anyone remember the comedian who dressed up in a black & white prisoner's uniform with arrows on it and his catchphrase was 'Spook! Slither...' He was always on Royal Variety performances. What is his name???! He was a comedy genius.

    Anyone remember this? It was about this young woman who had serious facial burns...similar to Simon Weston. She had flu when she was in her early teens and fainted into the fire as far as I remember. It showed her going through operations and getting on with her life as best she could. I never...
