Opening Credits + 'The Heat is On' - The Pink Windmill kids

[TheTelevisionHouse]

Actually the girl, Emma, dressed as a 'Bar Girl' - polite euphemism - left the show that year making her around 16 at the time - 1985. She would be the same age as me - 42 - now in 2011... The other kids would be in their 30s too!

All the shows were produced and directed by the late Colin Clews, who had been at ATV then Central since the 1950s, and was a BAFTA award winner for producing Morecame & Wise in the 1960s.

[TravelJay1982]

I blame this show on my blatant gayness.

[markypearson01]

I detested the pink windmill gang!!!!!!!!!

More teeth than the Osmands.

i agree that things were more innocent back then. I was in a Youth Theatre from about 10 - 16 and some of the dancing the girls did then would be considered a bit risquee in today's climate of weirdos!!

[jimmsy2000]

this would never happen nowadays. young girls dressed like that... oof.

[TheFelcher007]

Is that regret in hear in your voice ?

[jimmsy2000]

ha! no... it's just how i feel about seeing stuff like this. like, there was GAP ad over Christmas with young girls in boots and skirts, dancing acting all cute and... urgh, it was gross. what makes me sick is the people that dream up these marketing pieces. fucking hate it... pageants too. little girls acting like woman, getting points/scores from men and women.

[tadge72]

@jimmsy2000 but it was all really inncocent then. we had no idea.

[tonymontana1974]

I was expecting him to say "and now from norwich its the quiz of the week"

[Tobycek]

Wow - at 0:24 there's a clip of Boggle's Kingdom! Any clips of that are so rare I was beginning to thing it was a false memory of mine...

[beefbazooka]

My sister loved this show, and it drove me crazy. Used to punch the TV every time those prancing kids came on, couldn't stand them. While still very irritating i didn't punch anything this time.

xxxxxxxxxxx

[LollyLouLa]

my God this brings back memories!!!

[jaggy2008]

Does anyone have any videos of Emu's Broadcasting Company?

[LollyLouLa]

no sorry, wish I did tho!

[schemie1]

12 year oild dressed as prossies-nice!

[retroglide2000]

it was all more innocent back then.

[tonymontana1974]

Yeh almost as dodgy as the mini pops lol.

[leewilts]

a bit dodgy, but tv was much more innocent natured back then.

rather have this than the guff they make kids watch these days, no wonder most of them turn out as delinquents or bad shit retarded.

[deanobadger]

There's somebody at the door LOL

[Highlandersfan]

the poor kids watching and starring in this show, camp camp camp......oh my poor ears.

[deltic21]

mad stuff, thought it was ok in its day but now I reacon most of those kids (the boys) grew up gay.

[xXAkridXx]

Looks like they didn't have to grow up gay, they where very much already gay.

[nidge76]

Nauseating. A few back-handers needed here

[rosebankross]

Wow. I forgot how Grotbags used to have a picture on her wall (of her old mother?)which looked like her with white hair.

[branwolf1980]

I love this site for years all those drunken coversations of 'Remember that tv showwhen we were little....' have been answered Bliss tacky telly at it's worst. Oh and that little brat is the girl from two point 4 children and who nearly married Ant or Dec!

[mlucifersam]

That dancing was hilarious. Now I can laugh at it, but back then it just made me hate those prancing kids! :p

[anxresi]

CRINGE. We came here to see the bird, not some damn Fame wannabes. Yuck, take 'em away!!

[broth123]

hahahaha ah the memories!

[hr100]

This was my fave prog as a kid :)

[schemie1]

i loved this and am now gay. connection?

[stig114]

Perhaps the pink windmill was a bit of a clue? No offence mate.

[schemie1]

it certainly did things to my 'pink' windmill

sorry couldnt resist!!!

[mrtreevers]

Brilliant archive, my claim to fame was going to school with the boy from the show `You Should Be So Lucky` with Vince Purity ha ha, I wonder if the dancers here still dance?

[fraserkatie]

They probably look back on their time on the show as mad and get embarrassed! I would! They did seem to be very talented though but they would be coming from a massively precocious stage school!

[fraserkatie]

I apologise to all the kids here or as they are grown up, I didnt mean to be so cruel! They probably had a great time there! I always wanted to go to stage school though and wished I had the chance to!

[amiganutter]

Aww great vid - used to love Emu.

[Theophrastus]

An extremely posh 13 year old stage school bratt dressed as a prostitute. They didn't half put some weird things on TV in the 80's.
