Evening

Police 5 - wasn't it on on Sunday lunchtime just before, or after the Smurfs? Obviously I don't remember that, someone much much MUCH older told me

All this talk of Police 5 has made me feel very old:o.

Shaw Taylor, the presenter of the original series. died earlier this year aged 90:(, there was a bit about the show on the various news programmes at the time.

The original programme was first shown in 1962 (not that I remember it, my Grandad told me about it;)) in 5 minute episodes, hence the name. I recall it being a longer programme than that when I used to watch it, more like Crimewatch, but I may be totally mistaken. Doesn't take much:o. It seemed to be on our screens for decades.

Not much potted over the past few days as nothing much spare. £1.23 in though and that's better than nothing and much better than my usual savings amount of nowt!

Hello, is there room for one more? I entered this challenge a few years back and it was brilliant. Unfortunately things got pretty bad so I had to stop, but I'd like to rejoin now if possible.


Thank you.

Hmmmm....sounds like yet another of us evading the truth ere! :cool:
I don't know, 32b3, I don't remember anything about Sundays, I thought (big word that) it was every evening after the news. Ah, the years go by (memories 'n all :eek:) and we were ALL so very, very young!! Amazing what one picks up from the pram eh! :A

Great saving, crv1963, you're doing so very well.

You've got it, carbootcrazy!! I'm quite sure you're right, though in those days an hour used to feel about 5 minutes long, whereas now what we think is 5 minutes is a bl:silenced::silenced:dy HOUR!!!! :eek:

Who started this ruddy conversation anyway? CURLY...get back here and confess all :mad::mad::mad: She lit the touch paper and watched us all fall for it!!!

Thanks for that link, mummytummy, a lovely gent for sure. Memories eh? Not ours, but what we were told when gooing and gaaaing. :A RIP Shaw Taylor who'se evoked many a fond memory here in the last couple of days, bless him.

£1.23 is good, cybertortoise, and NOT squandered so be proud of yourself!! :happylove

Well potted, lexbubbles, and.....

....well spotted and potted, siju!! :rotfl:
