I loved building the Airfix kits. Did you ever get to build the larger versions of the WW2 fighters? I had the Spitfire, Stuka and Messerschmitt 109. My uncle got me into those - he was a Lancaster pilot and that was the first kit he bought me.
I could never get the hang of building the...
I think UK Gold has some connection to the BBC in which case it does not surprise me.
They seem to think that Horses is funny,mm, about as funny as toothache IMO.
I had a couple of Action Men. Trouble was that still been the 60's most of the outfits were the 2nd world war (my favourites were the French resistance and US marines) although I did have the astronaut.
Board games, I had Monopoly, a compendium(which I seemed to get every Xmas).
'Cooking with Compo' - sounds like a plan.
Maybe we could get our revenge on the nasty Beeb by getting him a series on there ;D
Been serious though, he comes up with some very nice ideas. :)
Earliest toys I remember where my Dinky toys. When I see what some of them are worth now I despair, my mum gave them away when I was around 10/11 yrs old as she thought I was "Too old to play with those things".
Most of them where still in the boxes: A James Bond Aston Martin was my favourite...
Some good bands there Chuffer. Would loved to have seen Joy Division live, also the Cure - speaking of which, have you ever heard Katie Melua's version of Just Like Heaven? even Robert Smith was knocked out by it.
My tastes have not really changed but I do tend to have a broad range, besides the ones in my OP.

My early years I remember the Beatles more than anyone and still love them.
When I was a teen...
Sorry but none of them.
I prefer Quorn Bacon - vegetarian option.
There was an American vegetarian streaky bacon on sale here a few years back from a company named Mornstar but it disappeared.
Re: Series 21 & 22 DVD - Very Interesting
Agreed, as long as the DVD is in the correct running order what difference does it make about what is on the back of the cover.
The US series 'The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet' (1952-66) ran for 14 years prior to Summer Wine here. So I think that would be the longest by some way.
British sitcoms have tended to run around 5-8 years.
Of course SW is in danger of been overtaken at some point in the future by The...
Re: Series 21 & 22 DVD - Very Interesting
The episode list is out of sequence.
It Has 'A Miserable Passing For A Musical Muscroft' been as disc 3 (episode 2) on the back and 'Beware Of The Hot Dog' as disc 4 (episode 1).
Whereas when it comes to viewing the episodes are in the correct order...
