... they all lost their jobs because we "just switched off our television sets and went and did something less boring instead"
Such a brilliant program - can't believe I still remember that Rolling Eyes Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Do you remember 'the Doris' in Why Don't You? Crackin' prog.

Double Deckers was great too. I just sooooo wanted to be in their gang. It was repeated on Sky, probably about 15 years ago now. Used to be some fab repeats on Sky - When the Boat Comes in, Prisoner Cell Block H, Chopper Squad (Aussie 70s thing, a bit like Bondi Rescue but drammed up with hot blokes flying around in a Wales rescue chopper - I soooo wanted to be rescued by them! Very Happy )

The Double Deckers?


Double deckers are still around, and as good as years ago Thumbs Up

Whatever happened to the other 75% of curly wurleys?...... as a kid they were MASSIVE and took a day to eat... now they are bite size!!

Not a Double Decker, the Double Deckers




You can buy a DVD of both series of the Double Deckers from Amazon. I did last year as I thought the kids would like it and I was right. They love it - possibly because its like a different universe (it was filmed over 40 years ago)
Sadly the chap who played Doughnut (centre of picture) died last year and the studio where it was filmed in Elstree is now a Tesco!

Re the pony tail girl in the Double Deckers

yes I did too.
Gillian Bailley (who played 'Billie' in the series - the one we all fancied) is now well into her 50s, has a Doctorate in theatre studies and teaches at the Royal Holloway college in Egham, Surrey(near Runneymeade where the Magna Carta was signed)
How's that for anorak Embarassed
