I always watched it stoned. I never realised. That was, until I grew up and discovered acid and Sesame Street.

Explains many things. Maybe it was the toxic food colouring and artificial sweetners us kids were scoffing in the 70s' that made it all make sense.

Carol Chell was a hotty.

I'm totally shocked. Aghast. Rocked to my very core.

But really, isn't this all a bit state the complete, fecking obvious?

If Hale & Pace taught us nothing else, back in the mists of time, it was that presenters of children's TV programmes were nothing but debauched delinquents.

Life does truly imitate "art" from time to time.

As an aside to the whole Play School thing, in between filming it was allegedly not uncommon for presenters and production staff to draw body hair on Hamble with a biro for a laugh, or so Derek Griffiths once claimed.

So they were stoned in Play school, thank f*** for that, as do you know anyone like that, hardly representative of normal people were they and just to remember in the seventies we had another programme aimed at children, Magic Roundabout, remember Zebedee, and Dougal oh yeah and Ermintrude, in fact remember them all.

But the seventies was about hidden messages aimed at kids ;

Captain Pugwash
TinTin,

And how many others, I always suspected The Herbs, but not quite sure.

But perhaps the seventies is why tv today is too pc, minds were warped by the seventies and pc is the realisation of that education.

I had a Raleigh Tomohawk and later a Halfords road bike in the seventies

Think I must have missed the "hidden message" in Tin Tin... what hidden message?

If it's the old Pugwash/double entendre thing, that's pure urban myth. There never were characters called Seaman Staines, Master Bate or Roger the Cabin Boy.
