Things they could repeat on TV

Remember watching these shows as a nipper seem such innocent times now or maybe that's just me being nostalgic lol.When I got my 1st (and happiest) teaching job in Ancoats some 15/16 yrs ago, I thought I'd pass on my love of The Flashing Blade. I bought the DVDs of the full series not knowing what the reaction would be. Half the class sat transfixed by the "other worldliness" that had so utterly fascinated me as a kid whilst the other half wondered what the fucking hell I was asking/forcing them to watch! I look back and think of some of the shows/films we watched, discussed and wrote about: Kes, Walkabout, Robinson Crusoe. Man, I loved those lessons. We watched Walkabout and then wrote to a school in Australia and got loads of replies asking whether Australia was like Ancoats!

They were great times mate, great shows. No internet, you just thanked your lucky stars when something came on that lit the fires in your head. Belle and Sebastian; On White Horses; Double Deckers. I was teaching my Year 3 class last year about going into an imaginary world - they were utterly absorbed by Mr Benn.Remember watching these shows as a nipper seem such innocent times now or maybe that's just me being nostalgic lol.

As @Psychedelic Casual has previously mentioned.
Best series on tv ever - especially for a certain (my) generation who could completely relate to it.
I've read it could never be released on DVD as the royalties would be too much - the soundtrack was excellent.
Years ago, there was a guy on here selling copies........can't remember who, but if they read this and can still do it, I'd love a PM!!
