Saturday morning TV before...

[Wil]

Tiswas and Swap Shop.

I think we all probably remember Saturday Scene with a pre-Tiswas Sally James (oh boy, did I ever want to win that Martian Landau, Barbara Bain Space 1999 compo ) but what about before that and what about on the beeb? I have a vague memory of Ali Bongo introducing shows on BBC1 and the Partridge Family being on. I also remember watching H.R.Pufnstuf for the first time in colour around a friends house when we still had b&w (that must have been very early 70s) but for the most part it's all a bit of a blur.

Anyone else or do I take the cowards way out and just find some old copies of the Radio Times.

[M.I.K.]

I have a vague recollection of a television programme which I think may have had Ali Bongo in it. I think it had something to do with the Magic Circle and there was a cat puppet who wore a fez called Ali Cat.

i remember that and have just bought the complete series of H R PuffnStuff on dvd.

I can remember Batman being on and also the Double Deckers.

SATURDAY SCENE.....now that was when i'd first seen BATMAN on it....there was an animated show on it called JUNGLE TED & THE LAZY BUTTONPOPPERS(!!!)...A year or so later we'd had PLANET OF THE APES, THE MONKEES, THE FANTASTIC FOUR , THE BEACHCOMERS, THE FUNKY PHANTOM, SPENCER'S PILOTS to name but a few....

Whilst BBC had CASEY JONES, ZORRO,THE AERONAUTS( I still have an annual of this ), CAMP RUNAMUCK & MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN ( the latter 2 appearing before GRANDSTAND!!)

I used to love watching 'The monkees' on saturday mornings, and 'The banana splits'. I watched them on a black and white portable tv in my parents bedroom. Ahh the memories!
