Does anybody remember the slinky. It was a kind of spring like thing that could walk down the stairs. Very simple but very effective.

I had the "Viewmaster" - the one like a pair of binoculars with a lever on the side that turned the picture wheel.

I had one of those but only ever had two slides .........the one that came with it which was wild life/geographical and Peter Pan ..........kept me entertained for hours on end though.
My brother gave me his - it always looked quite odd 3-D and dazzled my eyes but was v v effective

KENNY EVERETT
This guy was always a bit of a hero of mine
Why are there no real characters like him anymore?

I enjoyed the Kenny Everett clip Renton, even Bernard Manning made me laugh...he asked Kenny if he got paid the same as a professional
1970'S TV series 'Thriller' written by Brian Clemens used to scare the living daylights out of me when I was a kid so much so I had to check inside the wardrobe and under my bed before I could think about closing my eyes and sleeping.
It was a spine-chilling classic which rarely gets a mention these days so I thought I'd see if anyone else remembered it.
The first two seasons (1973 â 1974) attracted some of the best talent around at the time.
Thriller opening sequence
1) Lady Killer (Barbara Feldon, Linda Thorson & Robert Powell)
2) Possession (Joanna Dunham, John Carson & Hilary Hardiman)
3) Someone At The Top Of The Stairs (Donna Mills & Judy Carne)
4) An Echo Of Theresa (Paul Burke, Polly Bergen & Vernon Dobtcheff)
5) The Color Of Blood (Norman Eshley & Katherine Schofield)
6) Murder In Mind (Zena Walker, Richard Jordan & Donald Gee)
7) A Place To Die (Bryan Marshall, Alexandra Hay & Lila Kaye)
8) File It Under Fear (Maureen Lipman & Richard OâCallaghan)
9) The Eyes Have It (Peter Vaughan & Sinead Cusack)
10) Spell Of Evil (Edward De Souza, Diana Cliento & Iris Russell)
11) Only A Scream Away (Hayley Mills, Gary Collins & Jeremy Bulloch)
12) Once The Killing Starts (Patrick OâNeal and Michael Kitchen)
13) Kiss Me & Die (George Chakiris, Jenny Agutter & Hunter Russell)
14) One Deadly Owner (Donna Mills, Jeremy Brett & Laurence Payne)
15) Ring Once For Death (Barry Nelson and Nyree Dawn Porter)
16) K Is For Killing (Steven Rea, Christopher Casenove & Gayle Hunnicut)
17) Sign Of Death (Francesca Annis, Patrick Allen & Sheila Fearne)
18) Who Killed Lamb? (Stanley Baker, Denis Lili & Peter Salis)

I remember watching the Karate Kid for the 1st time and thinking it was AMAZING. Imagine learning karate by waxing a car, painting a fence etc. A...MAZING. I bored everyone rigid talking about it for weeks
I also remember Friday night was Hammer House of Horror night and we were allowed to stay up late to watch it with our salt and vinegar peanuts, um bungo and a pizza

Hi Renton
I remember something similar called "Bengal Matches" which were also wrapped in paper inside the matchbox. They would glow red or green when burning and you only got a few in a box. They stopped selling them for safety reasons...
