To me Susan was the most sexiest presenter on TV during her time on TV

[@josephomalley1526]

Susan, gorgeous woman !

[@LANCSKID]

The Stranks in a miniskirt and boots … heavenly!

[@NoosaHeads]

The anticipation of waiting for the photos - a few days after you sent them to be processed - was half the fun of film photography. Digital photography, whilst very convenient, panders to the "instant gratification" demands of current society. Digital has many benefits - but I believe the psychological dumbing down it creates outweighs the benefits.

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

panders lol

[@S7EVE_P]

Sometimes get the feeling I was born too late. Love the technology of today but women back then were far more attractive, Susan is very lovely indeed.

[@pigknickers2975]

Women had a sexy quality that seems to be lost. They compensate by tarting up more and more but it's really innocence that's so attractive.

[@richardbrown1189]

There was no scale available that could cope with how fanciable Susan Stranks was. I still maintain that she owes me compensation for the damage to my wrist caused by watching her on Magpie as a teenager!

I was waiting for two spiders, one red and one yellow to creep up on her around the 0:39 mark....

[@fraserkatie]

Oh my! How very posh was Susan Stranks! Lol!!!!

[@JosephJMcAllister]

Very interesting! I like how they infer that only blind people are working in the dark room. :> Really cracks me up.

[@MrDavey2010]

Susan Stranks was so hot

[@Stratoszero]

IIRC I was only about 4 or 5 but was really disappointed when she was replaced because she was so pretty.

[@CamcorderSteve]

I was a Valerie Singleton boy!!

[@James_BAlert]

I remember watching her spontaneously combusting💥on the TV one day!! 😁

"and can anyone explain to the need for 1 hour photo finishing?? You just SAW the fucken thing!" - George Carlin
I get the joke now

[@thefurrybastard1964]

And now I have my crush on Susan Stranks back!

[@crumplezone1]

She would have made a great `Wonder Woman`

[@clemstevenson]

100 rolls of 36 exposure 35mm film, or one reusable micro SD card? If you screw up photos with a flash card, you've still got the flash card to try again.

[@clemstevenson]

It would still be 1973.

[@danw1374]

I still have a few of those old flash cubes, rather expensive to buy even in those days.

[@andrewbevan4662]

Easier to lose an SD card than 100 rolls of film

[@clemstevenson]

@@andrewbevan4662 It certainly is :-)

[@borgduck]

5:45 I couldn't disagree more, unless shocking means radiant!

[@haroldfarthington7492]

it's too quiet

[@goodiesguy]

Better than Blue Peter!
