Anyone else kind of miss the days when there were only 3 channels of TV but it contained a teemingly diverse range of programming? Maybe that's better than people only ever watching things they already know they like?

Michael Rodd, a legend. I never missed Tomorrow’s World.

The glory days of BBC documentaries, where they cram so much in, and we don't have to hear the back stories of the narrators, or spend precious time 'going on a journey' with them.

I love the guy talking with absolute seriousness about a mouse with a vacuum cleaner.

I have vague memories of seeing this as an impressionable 11 year old back in the day. Quality stuff - Chapeau, BBC Archive, Chapeau.

The development of electronic music is one of my favourite specialist interests, I have quite a lot of synthesizers.<br>Thumbs up!

I still have the Tom Baker Dr Who main theme on a 7 inch single from 1981. My mother bought it for me because I was absolutely crazy about Dr Who at that time and I loved the synth sound of the then current soundtrack. What actually blew me away more than anything was The Astronauts on side B, its still one of my all time favourite instrumentals to this day.
