Proving to Dellzeqq that we denizens of Tea? are not entirely without culture, I'm giving this thread a fancy title, referring to the theme of involuntary memory.
I just posted in the Dallas thread about how the theme music makes me think of childhood bedtime, and how I would often sit very still and quiet in the hope of being forgotten rather than sent to bed. In a similar way, the themes of Kojak, Starsky and Hutch or Cagney and Lacey bring strongly to mind the taste of a crisp sandwich, which was often a Saturday night supper treat. Usually while Mum cut Dad's hair with a sort of razor comb, him sitting on a chair on a plastic sheet. I can hear that comb going through hair now.
Carrot tops take me back to the garden of our family flat, and the landlady's rabbit which we looked after sometimes. And hence, huge blue hydrangea bushes.
What are your Madeleine moments?
