Has anyone heard of Get Smart, a us programme? I loved it yet when I say 'good thinking 99' when one of my team comes up with a good idea, they give me a blank look. Oh I truly believe their lives can't be complete, having not grown up without Get Smart. :)

I loved Loveboat so much, it actually had influence on my decision what to do with myself after finishing school. I also wanted to work on a cruise-ship which years later I managed to do for some time.

Does anyone remember Catweazle?

I loved Michael Bentine's "Potty Time"! Best madness ever!
Sorry to go back to themes but......
I downloaded a few years ago "Ask Aspel" theme tune - which is the best theme tune EVER! But still desparately seeking the "Screen Test" theme, which I seem to recall was also a cracker.......anyone got it? :D

Oh, and Pipkins - that was a favie! With the liverpudlian pig that used to feed it's plant chips! Oh and fingerbobs - "Yuffy lifts a finger....and a mouse is there"!......When feeling a bit fruity, I frequently break out into yelps of "I like to fly and spread my wings......."!
