    I think I missed Fame too. Ivaguely remember people talking about it but my Mum was adamant at the time that we weren't allowed to watch 'American rubbish'

    (I'm not much use for the TV part in the pub quiz. . .)

    I was never allowed to watch Benny Hill and felt very upset and left out at school. I watched a few snippets in later life though and boy was I glad it was banned in our house!

    Well about that age we had to watch a "public information film" about not trespassing on railways. Severed limbs, crushed under coal, ran over by trains.

    It was round about the same level of gore as some of the Omen films... :eek:

    I seem to recall that one, I think out teachers used to watch the counter and stop and fast forward at the super gory bits (we were mollycoddled)

    At eleven the same teachers showed us a sex education film of cartoon people having sex and then I have always remembered the phrase 'Some people like to carry on laying together with each other afterwards' all that was missing was the 'and some get straight up hunt for their knickers get dressed and leave closing the door quietly' to demonstrate the breadth of encounters and give a rounded sex education.

    Just a quickie before I definately go to bed

    I watched the first Jaws movie when I was about 8 and I was so scared that I wouldnt go to the toilet incase Jaws got me.

    Public info films at school were soooo boring...never saw the railway one though. I am now certain that the teachers used to order those films so they could have a skive off from teaching us stuff we actually needed to know.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Night to all that are off.

    Should really head off soon too, I have a big thing to write tomorrow so am working from home which means will probably be here too late for my own good.
