I was broken hearted when they took Rain bow off TV I used to watch that even after I left school, I know I am just a big old softy lol

Iconic is the most complicated thing really. I think theres something that looks great (Like the Smash Martian, Daleks, Tardis, Postman Pat, Robby The Robot). Theres something people can't explian, it just works. Only the luckiest people get it I suppose.

I love pigeon Street (And the music). Though I never liked Grange Hill (In my opinion) its bland, but its not ment to appeal to me (I don't like school based shows).

Im loving these intressting Childrens TV On Trial. Hey BBC of 1981 , whats with Trumpton and the sweet and innocent programes for babies? I suppose sometimes change is good and probably everyone has there favourite decade like the 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s.
