Watch with Mother, Pinky and Perky, David Nixon and an awful lot of golf

We didn't have a TV in those days. In fact I don't think anyone did.

We did have a wind-up gramophone though.

But I can't remember what they were playing then - probably a selection from the Gondoliers.
I was probably too busy guzzling.

[Diflower]

It was a Saturday - apart from Sports reports, strangely, an adaptation of Children of the New Forest
