Supply Teachers

[George 1978]

Making comparisons against various teachers has been something that youngsters have been doing for donkey's years, and when it comes to supply teachers, many of these comparisons made are more than worthwhile. Everyone who had gone to school has had a stint without their regular class teacher and they...

It's up to us, it's up to us; it's up to us, it's up to us... The Code of the Gnomes - that's Us! Two gnomes outside a fish and chip shop, watching out for "The Big Ones", hence their size.

I believe that the title had inspired real-life chip shops to adopt the spoonerism as...

I thought that British Rail was still nationalised when Network South East was going - its name sounds like Newsroom South East - the BBC's regional news programme of the 1990s....

Looking back, John Shackleton's drawings of animals and birds onto a canvas board in the studio does remind me a bit too much of that Australian fellow who died a couple of years ago - TV...

Just a National Express coach away - I travel around the country at least once a year and so I wouldn't mind travelling there if they still sold them....

I thought it was either: A) Roland Rat with Errol the Hamster; or: B) The Channel 4 Take Five repeats of Tales of the Riverbank with Hammy Hamster.

They are the two Hamster themed TV programmes that I can think of.

Matthew Kelly did the continuity for January 1983 - someone I still associated with mainstream TV and not children's TV.

Apart from Friday, the 4.00 pm repeat was the same as midday. Interesting that Madabout which Matthew Kelly presented, was on Thursdays. Was this the first instance...
