I have just seen a clip of the "Multi Coloured Swap Shop" and I just thought I'd test myself on the phone number that for about 5 years was on the bottom of the screen and every child knew.

I'm not sure I have got it right - and in the wikipedia age I could obviously check, but it just feels right.

What odd thing can you remember from so so long ago.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Look right, look left, look right again.

Tufty!

[annaj]

I'm enjoying the same trip down memory lane MickMac and I think you're right.

Could this be the very first thing we've ever agreed on?

Edited - because I put Mick Mac's K in the wrong place!

[Mick Mac]

Ha ha. It seems you are the top girl on the forum Annaj - I'm still looking forward to seeing what makes you so brill but I'm sure BBW can't be wrong. I'm always scared to disagree with you unless Bignumber5 stomps on my head.

[annaj]

Hmmmm I'm fairly certain BBW can be wrong, but, yes, it would be nice to put a face to the name.

ps you're right about the number, I goggled, couldn't resist.

[Mick Mac]

Just called it - does not work anymore. I've been trying to build up the courage for 30 year and now I have done it - nothing! how rubbish is that.

I'm glad PGC has remembered the crossing the road rules from Tufty. In Peckham its look right, look left, look in front, look behind, and run........ to the relative safety of ED.....

[mockney piers]

Posh paws!the dinosaur obviously anna as you're not posh honest or a dinosaur obviously. Or purple, well you know your footwear......this is sounding a bit weird on my part isn't it. Coat?

[annaj]

*shameless in-joke alert*

It might have sounded weird, maybe, to anyone who wasn't in the EDWNJ(NTTAWWBJIJT,W,WN)S, but I liked it.

[mockney piers]

I love you quids, you may be the most dependable person I've ever met. Can I make you my new father figure as mines shit?

Annaj, I'm working on that, possibly the longest acronym ever....

[Mick Mac]

Surely Tiswas did not exist at the same time?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm quite sure I wasn't in the EDNW...... and have no idea what it means.

In the name of all good fairies, please Annaj, give!

Started in 1974, so I guess our TV only had BBC.

Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, more commonly known simply as Swap Shop, was a UK children's television programme. It was broadcast on Saturday mornings on BBC1 for 146 episodes in six series between 1976 and 1982. It was ground-breaking in many ways: by being live, sometimes up to three hours in length, and using the phone-in format extensively for the first time on TV.

..seriously would be in my top 10 of things on TV ever....we used to get up to watch it with hangovers when we were 19!!!

Sally James......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[annaj]

Sorry, Quids, even as a child I just couldn't stand Chris Tarrent, besides I was (am) a middle-class swot, so it was Swap Shop for me.

PGC, you're right, I'm afraid, you weren't in it. I was an extremely exclusive society of two, but since Mockney has forgotten all about it, I guess it's me who's sounding weird now...

[Mick Mac]

That will be why I did not watch it - Chris Tarrant, oh dear - don't like him at all.

But BBC is surely always the channel the TV is set to... ITV when there's bugger all else on Quids.

In the words of the sainted Marx: I don't want to belong to any cub that will accept people like me as a member!

Retrospective dislike you two - Tiswas had far more than him anyway...e

er, Magpie oe Blue Peter?

[Mick Mac]

[annaj]

Blue Peter and no, not retrospective, he was always creepy.
