So you’re home from school watching ITV and they’ve got a few minutes to fill between Magpie and the Tomorrow People: what are they going to show?
I bought a new VCR in 1995 and I was overjoyed to discover the demo tape that came with it had this cartoon on it.
mp3: Roger Glover - Love Is All (1974) (Buy)
That’s Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Unbelievably, I don’t think I’ve ever heard him singing anything else but he sounds great on this.

I don't know what sounds more old fashioned - 'Magpie' and 'Tomorrow People' or 'VCR' and 'demo tape'...
This is lovely. I never saw it. I was a BBC and 'Blue Peter' kinda kid. You know the type. We got punched a lot at school.
I'm off to the corner shop now because the Mrs has just said, and I quote, she 'really fancies a Crunchie'.
How 70s is that?
.......along with Bazooka Joe bubble gum, black jacks and a sherbet fountain. *sign*
Davy,
Get her some Cresta to go with it.
TTV,
I remember the 'black tongue' effect of Black Jacks well.
It's frothy maan.
Cripes! The mouse playing piano from 2:10 onward has a Blue Meanie mask on the back of his head!
Oh shoot, I'm going to have nightmares now, thanks a LOT.
Didn't mean to freak you out, man. It's all too much!!!
Trivia: when I was a kid I saw Yellow Submarine on a double bill with Thunderbird Six. How cool is that?
Fuck me - what a find!
Along with Tutankahmun and the widget in beer cans - probably the best discovery of recent times.
You can have a go on my new Chopper for that.

Best offer I've had today, DVD. Maybe it was only us yokels in the HTV area that got it...
No - I do remember it, just haven't seen it for 35 yrs. Perhaps it used to be slipped into the schedule when they didn't have a Public Information film to hand?
A'Charlie Says' or a 'Call the Coastguard, or a 'Reginald Molehusband' the aged cyclist.
Reginald Molehusband! I mentioned him at work a few years ago and I got blank looks all round. When I got home I turned to Mrs Mick for support and she didn't know him either (which is surprising if you see her trying to park).
P.S. Nice view up here, Petunia!
Very nice Joe.
