You mean, when bellowing "Thatcher" every other line passed for penetrating political insight? Even worse, when it passed for humour.

I never got a response to my request for Jim to fix it for me to meet Gary Glitter...Jim'll fix it. It influenced me not to request having Rolf Harris painting me.

I don't know, but it would have been in the early '90s if anything, 1989 possibly (Channel 4 only came into existence in 1982 anyway).
Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to try and find it now!

I had a VisionON annual as a kid. One of the things featured in it were some sculptures that had been made by an Artist, by welding bits of scrap together. There was a knight in armour standing to attention, and a knight on a horse, and you could identify all the various bits and pieces used, while seeing the whole shape - I remember the standing knight had something like a radiator grille for a breastplate. I thought they were fantastic, but felt sad that I'd never be able to do that sort of thing because it involved welding, and I didn't have access to scrap metal*.
35 years on, with NT's encouragement, I'm starting to think that maybe I could do that sort of thing, and be an Artist myself. I have Ideas and everything. Funny how long it takes sometimes, to fulfill an ambition.
*This sort of thinking was a feature of my childhood. I remember wanting to be a jockey, aged about 6, but writing the idea off because I didn't know how to ride a horse. For some reason, it didn't occur to me that I could learn to do so if I really wanted to.

The Clangers 
C4s coverage of The Tour.
The Open University's programmes for their course on Modern Art and Modernism (I found they helped my Saturday morning hangover, and inspired a visit to the Tate where I remember the first thing I saw was Nuam Gabo's Head no. 2).

I never missed that programme. I remember watching with utter horror when J Hann took over and was explaining how the immune system worked using a chess pieces and thinking, if people know this little, they probably wouldn't be watching.

Horizon: Life Story
Watched it when I was about 17 and decided immediately to become a molecular biologist. Bit strange really given that Crick, Franklin and Wilkins were physicists (not sure what Watson was - a bird watcher I think).
