  • Here Come The Double Deckers

    Who remembers the BBC children's television programme "The Double Deckers" with Melvyn Hayes et al. It has developed a cult following now and has its' own website. There was a very chubby kid amongst them, who was forever eating! They don't make programmes like that any more!

    Indeed I do. I dated the daughter of Melvyn Hayes' brother - met him at her wedding many years later and he was a thoroughly nice chap.
    Their light of pocket torch, of signal flare,
    Licks at the edge of unsuspected places,
    While others scan, under an arc-lamp's glare,
    Nursery, kitchen sink, or their own faces.

        Why SY?

        What scares me is seeing how old Scooper is these days (Spooks, South riding) because it reminds me how old I am!

              I loved this show at the time. Glad to know that some of the cast went on to great things.
