Re: Did you have a TV when you were a child?
Yes we did, and on a Sunday afternoon (I think it was) I was allowed into the front room on my own of our tiny flat to watch The Liberace Show. I was absolutely enthralled aged 4 or 5 and cried my eys out at the end when he and his piano faded off into the distance.Re: Did you have a TV when you were a child?

Rag, Tag and Bobtail was about a rabbit, a mouse and I think it was a hedgehog called Rag.Re: Did you have a TV when you were a child?
I am 59 - I must have my times muddled up? I remember Muffin the Mule well, he was even on the counter top of our local cake shop. I only know about the Ovaltinies because my Mum was one and she taught us the song. Also remember Mum saving up some coupons or something from packets of tea to get my little brother a Brookie Bond toy monkey - would that be right or did I imagine it?Re: Did you have a TV when you were a child?
Yes, got one when they were first brought out in Scotland - think England had them first! Ours had doors and had a 24" screen - the cathode ray tube was only 6" and it was worked by mirrors inside and then onto the screen - the screen wasn't unlike the plazma sets out now! No ITV to start with and loads of intervals with a man making clay pots!! I can remember one program - No Hiding Place and Dixon of Dock Green but not sure when they came to the screen!! Strangely enough, we never watched much telly back then - rotten reception I think was the cause of it! I think the set was a Ferranti!
