Pre-dating Mandy and Bunty, I remember getting Twinkle comic!

TV wise, I remember Here Comes Mumfie - that wotch used to terrify me! - and Animal Kwackers - "Rory, Rory, tell us a story!"

I also remember watching the Disney compilation shows as a young kid, too. The habit started early!

That man was the sole reason I developed a life-long obsession with wild animals! We visited Bristol Zoo a couple of years ago, where his programme used to be filmed, and it brought tears to my eyes because he was wonderful, so funny, an absolute hero to me as a kid.

Comics for me was Bunty (loved the cut-out dolls with clothes you could cut out and dress them in by folding tabs of paper over their shoulders!), sometimes the Beano or the Dandy, and then I graduated to Jackie and also something I think was called Disco, which used to print song lyrics.

Earliest TV - Bill & Ben (flobbleobbleobble!), Andy Pandy, and The Woodentops (my husband does an unbelievable impression of Spotty Dog, the very biggest spotty dog you ever did see! Hysterical)

From there I graduated onto The Double Deckers, Tiswas, and The Banana Splits (la,la,la, la,la,la,la!)
