Run the Gauntlet was on ITV - nearly every Bank Holiday Monday it was on in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

We got a few of those, growing up in inner-city Nottingham.

That Harris Carpets one in the Round the 'Gate adverts clip on YouTube looks terrifying in - too loud and it was 15 seconds long. I know it was...

And Corbett would always wear those "Rupert Bear" trousers when out on the golf course, making him look like an Open University presenter from 1973.

Stubbs would probably have Felicity Kendal, Tracey Ullman and Maggie Moone on her team, while Blair would have Bernard Cribbins, Willie Rushton and...

Ronnie Corbett was another of the celebrity golfing set, even if he was mostly on BBC shows from the mid 1970s onwards.

I heard they became unpopular because people realised they would show when your armpits got hot.

A shell suit circa 1991-1992. No way would I wear them now!

Burton still exist - they are basically a male version of Dorothy Perkins, aren't they? - they are owned by the same group. One that springs to...

It's a bit like a Christmas party we had at school - my family got rid of a load of Tracker bars and donated them to the party and everyone wanted...

Yes, Pro-Celebrity Golf - Forsyth v Faldo or Tarby v Trevino or someone like that. It never occurred to me until recently that Brucie used to wear a...

Sad news, I really like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I saw it in the cinema when it was first out, & a few times on TV before buying it on DVD. The...

Richard Whiteley also springs to mind - "one from the top" could have been a reference to his syrup and not the numbers combination; Ernie "you can't...
