Robins Nest Bill? My son had one nesting last year.

Loretta

[Bill fawcett]

Well done Loretta, that's the one.
Over to you

Bill

[Silver-Haired-Hippy]

Thanks Bill!

Late 70's

Loretta
(and no, I have not forgotten to put it in)

[Shelagh]

Could Be The Invisible Man

[Silver-Haired-Hippy]

good one Shelagh but not the right one! What do you see above the year, and i don't mean Thanks Bill ? Clue, inbetween them, nothing!

Loretta

[Shelagh]

Found a programme ‘Between The Lines’ have to admit, not one I’d heard of before
Learning more about old tele shows than ever

[Silver-Haired-Hippy]

Game show Shelagh, another clue, a cheque book and pen, Think about it, if there is nothing there, its?

Loretta

[filsgreen]

Blankety blank. Can't work the link out though. NOW I have.

[Silver-Haired-Hippy]

All yours Phil! are my clues that bad? Not many could understand them on Pop Quiz either so I gave up!! They were as clear as day to me!!!!

Loretta

[Shelagh]

Haha!! been searching for a Space programme, didn’t know any of them
Good work Phil, always liked that show.
You get to take home the pen

All very clear Loretta

[filsgreen]

Thanks Loretta/Shelagh. Here's a nice easy one.
Would you find this cook on a horse?

[Shelagh]

Phil; good programme from the past
The Galloping Gourmet

[filsgreen]

That's it Shelagh, Graham Kerr it is.

[Shelagh]

Yes indeed, Phil; and what a charmer, made food preparation so much more interesting

Another easy one; Ten For Starters - started in the 60s, still continues today

[filsgreen]

University challenge?

[Shelagh]

Certainly Is, Phil
Days when students were proud to be seen in uni scarves and duffel coats!!

Back over to you Phil

[filsgreen]

Thanks Shelagh, here's one a little harder from the seventies.

How did a first class session singer, get mixed up with a children's show?

[Bernie R]

Handful of songs??

[filsgreen]

Not that one, Bernie. I think you'd have to be in the Ivy league of pop to get this tv programme.

[Shelagh]

If it’s the person I’m thinking of, the show would be The Flower Pot Men..going back in history a bit, but The Ivy League had a few different lineups, Tony Burrows (session singer) was part of the trio during the sixties..I just happened to be a fan, so got to see them on the Empire, will never forget those lovely high pitched voices
Tony Burrows left the trio to start up another band “Flowerpot Men” that would be the connection

[filsgreen]

Wow, Shelagh, you should get it because you know nearly everything about Tony Burrows, but you've got the wrong decade. Don't let anyone Pip you at the post for this one.

[Bernie R]

Don't get the last clue but was thinking of Play School as it featured Lionel Morton from The Four Pennies group.

[filsgreen]

Not that one either, Bernie. Shelagh has nearly got it though.

[Shelagh]

Goodness, some good musical memories now
Lionel MORTON from the four pennies, good clue to latest pop question
Sticking with Ivy League clue, (and pip) Ill go for The Pipkins

[filsgreen]

That's it, Shelagh, well done.

[Shelagh]

Thanks Phil; keeping us in our toes with these old tele memories

Put The Wood In The Hole - 70s

[filsgreen]

The Generation Game?

[Shelagh]

You’ve certainly got the right person, Phil; but thinking of an earlier show on ITV

[filsgreen]

Is it "Shut that door," Shelagh?

[Shelagh]

Shut That Door, good old Larry Grayson, silly humour but kept us entertained!

Your turn, Phil

[filsgreen]

Thanks, Shelagh, I thought that was his catchphrase. Here's another easy one from the seventies.

Another name for hammers?

[Bernie R]

The Persuaders?

[roza17]

Who is the winner?

[filsgreen]

Welcome to the forum Roza. I don't know whether you are posing a question, or asking who is the winner. If you are posing a question, you have to answer the previous question correctly. Just like Bernie has done with his answer, the Persuaders. Well done, Bernie.

[Bernie R]

Easy one

60s onwards

Parent of the year?
