Glad i was born in 1948 , would have hated to have to watch that ( watch with mother ) , bill & ben much better , but we didn't have a telly , like Polarsilver say's poor times for our parent's , dad working in steel works and mam worked in the fields spud bashing and pea snatching to make ends meets, but happy times yes you could get pissed with ten bob in the 60s and have change to buy ten park drive

"Watch With Mother" was a different thing every day. Trumptom, Camberwick Green, Poggles Wood, Noggin The Nog, The Wooden Tops etc. My most enthusiastic telly watching days

Just old enough to recall the tail end of the '60s as a nipper.... watching The Beatles do 'Hey Jude' on The David Frost Show, being allowed to stay up to watch Armstrong and Aldrin walking on the moon in fuzzy black & white, pounds shillings and pence, looking in the window of the local record shop seeing the brand new 'Abbey Road' LP cover, Minis absolutely everywhere and Mum singing along to 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' on the radio...

My vote goes to "Bill & Ben" .. much better than Muffin the Mule

Space Patrol was a bit before my time, more of a Thunderbirds / Captain Scarlet sort of guy myself

Re muffin the mule . . . . . Surely it depends on who "The Mule" is

Those good old days in the south of France

Screen grab from 'The Champions' in 1968...

Can't you turn this thread into the Amercan theme the PH's one took on with you posting on that

It wouldn't stand the strain, the servers would implode! Can't help getting carried away sometimes...

Mr.Hill and Mr.Clark take rest, looks like a very early Mk1 with the 'square cut' holes in the hub cap...

Yes they have to be safe as well

or 'Tales of the the Riverbank'
"This children’s 'Watch with Mother' series (1960-63) featured real animals and related the adventures of two friends; Hammy (a hamster) and Roderick (a white mouse).
The fifteen minute episodes were filmed at double the normal speed to allow the camera to slow down the movements of the animals (who were probably in a state of constant fear and anxiety during filming!). Narration for each story was provided by Johnny Morris."
