    I absolutely loved this. I have c-ptsd and had a horrible flashback tonight so couldn’t sleep. But it’s almost 2am so didn’t want to text anyone. Watching this video was really entertaining, soothing and like hanging out with a couple of friends. 😊🦔🦔 Two weird little hedgehogs and I thank you and hope maybe you’ll do another of these when you get a chance.

    I got curious and looked Nino up, it was a little difficult when all I had was "Nino" and "Splash" but I found him. His full name is Nino Firetto, and fortunately, he has not gotten into any, er, scandals. All that stuff was just unfortunate coincidence. Not that it would be anything else, I suppose, since no one knew about Cosby or Gary Glitter back then, but... I just had to know. And now you know!

    I keep coming back to this because it stirs so many memories.
    The thing I remember most vividly about Victor and Hugo was how Tommy Boyd, on CITV, introduced the last episode.
    He said, “you know when you’re eating your tea, and you save the best bit til last? Well that’s what they’ve done with this series.”
    And he was right! Though I was depressed that it was ending.
    All I remember about the episode was someone falling in a river, possibly the Seine.

I wasn't even born until '99 and even I've seen Batfink and Danger Mouse, fond memories. Ironically, when Paul mixed up the video with a podcast and assumed people were just listening to it, I actually was, as it was my background whilst watering the garden :)

      scruffy da real OG ITV used to licence different stations for all the British regions, so all the channels you saw were part of the ITV network, often sharing programmes from one to another. After the infamous franchise auction of 1991 stations got the right to merge with one another, slowly creating the uniform ITV network which is the same now throughout the UK.

    The G.I. in G.I. Joe stands for Government Issue. It comes from WWII where Joe was a common name to call someone you didn't know, ie the phrase "What do ya know Joe?"

    I can't thank you enough for this. I had a subscription for Look-In for years as a kid, and I loved it. No.73 was my favourite show.
    Remember flexi-discs? Look-In used to give them away on the cover. I still have a pure vinyl 33RPM Trebor Refreshers 'single' that came off a Look-In cover somewhere.
    You NEED to do one of these for Story Teller. Remember that? I LOVED Story Teller. Got loads of celebrities (of the time) to read stories that were recorded on a cassette, and said cassette would be mounted on the magazine, which had the stories on the tape written down. Kids read along with the cassette, and my Mum credited Story Teller for how advanced my reading was at the time.

    I bought the first issue of Look-In in 1971 for 5p. I was reading it before the Physics lesson at school and the teacher snatched it and took it to the front of the class. He sat there for five minutes flicking through it. Eventually he asked me "You paid 5p for this? " I confirmed that I had. "They saw you coming," he said. Hilarity in the class. Happy days.

    "Look-in" magazine first came out in January 1971 and I bought the very first edition; it had Tony Bastable (one of the three presenters from Magpie) on the front cover. I remember that "Look-in" cost me one shilling (old money) to buy when I was 14 years-old in 1971 and I bought everyone each week for the next two years.

    Another memory: I went to Albert Dock in about 1995/6. It was part of a bus trip. It was mainly a tour of Anfield, but then we finished off going to the dock, and seeing Fred the weatherman’s floating map. I’m sure that there was still a Cosgrove-Hall thing there then, as I seem to remember a cardboard cutout of Danger Mouse. I wanted to go, but it was closed.

    The black cauldron was edited to pieces as it was deemed too terrifying. I saw it in the cinema and enjoyed it. Watched it recently and you can spot the edits. I collected the black cauldron plastic figures from corn flakes. . TRON was the first MAJOR use of CG in a movie in 1982. THE BLACK HOLE had a CGI grid for its opening titles in 1979, but there were CG tests of x wing fighters by ILM in 1978.

Great video by the way.
