Here's the theme tune...
All this nostalgia talk has got me thinking and searching for things of my youth.
I'm surprised hollywood has not rebooted Tarzan, they've done just about everything else.
Always remember his call at the beginning of the episode.

I have never seen anything like that, with that lozenge shaped bit on the bottom! It's too dark to make out .
In Scotland the only crisps that were available when I was very young were Golden Wonder Plain crisps. They came with a medium blue salt bag that was twisted at the top to keep the salt in. They cost 3d.
I remember clearly when Smiths launched Salt'nShake crisps (probably around the early eighties), it being explained on the news, why the bags were sqare and not rounded with a twisted top.

The pic. is a badge, I couldn't find a pic. of the original bag, they were just a square of blue greaseproof paper with salt in and twisted at the top, and were definitely Smiths.
I do and did live in England tho
I remember the 'twist' Sydlers.
Ello you BTW

READY SALTED CRISPS
When you had Ricicles, it meant you didn't need to sprinkle sugar onto your Rice Krispies, and so when they brought out Ready Salted crisps in the 60's, it meant you no longer had to sprinkle salt onto your crisps. Before then, you should remember they were sold as plain crisps but included a wee blue bag of salt inside the packet for you to spread all over the crisps.It seems nothing now, but when Ready Salted originally hit the scene, it wasn't just a novelty, it was more like a giant leap forward into the future!
Oh look....they were still 3d when they got the salt 'stuck onto them'.

Sing something simple , as time goes by.
Sing something simple , just you and I 
I also hated the dire and depressing Sing Something Simple. It's probably one of the reasons I have zero tolerance for slow and uncomplicated music to this day.
Christmas morning - new dress, socks, cardie, undies, hat, coat and shoes. No matter what event went before we were not allowed to wear until Christmas Day.
Undies from BHS, coat and dress from C&A, shoes hmmmmmmmm - probably Stead and Simpson or Freeman, Hardy and Willis. We thought we were the bees knees walking round to my Nan's on Christmas morning - it was a lovely feeling.
The same for anyone else?
On a tangent we took my Mum to the Fatherland earlier in the year. She was elated to find a C&A and we spent a couple of hours in there.
My grandson has been dressed very smartly all through "summer" and my mum proudly carried her C&A bags down her local high street inviting all sorts of enquiries and comments.
I didn't realise C&A still operated overseas.
Strictly speaking we were the overseas bit. I think they were originally Dutch although they seem bigger in Germany.

Acid drop Spangles, my favourite.
The Esso Blee Dooler
There's a whole load of nostalgia in this one. The BBC spinning globe, 'Say no to strangers' public service announcement (recognise the stranger?) And then 'Why don't you?'
Squiggle and Soozy . I remember those two adverts ....but the one that stuck in my memory had a little yellow (or blue) man shaped like a drop of petrol (or oil) . Does anyone remember that one ?I remember the Esso one being a lot more colourful Baz so I reckon they must have made more as it was a very popular ad. And yes I do remember the little man shaped like a drop of petrol. Also the Put a Tiger in your tank, but I can't remember which petrol company that was for, the power of advertising eh?
Squiggle I'm sure put a tiger in your tank was part of an ESSO advertising campaign.
Yes now you mention it Cinds I am sure you're right. The mind plays tricks and in trying to picture it I get a mental picture of Tony the Tiger (from Frosties) Grrrr
and this one
Do you remember the Old English Spangles? They were nice - Humbug, Liquorice, Butterscotch and Aniseed.

My aunt tells the story about her dad.He stole the Tiger from the pump area and put it in his next door neighbours garden that was over grown ,she said when his wife pulled up her blind she nearly had a heart attack.
