One shown only in STVland, on New years day, for many years, until a good few years ago, "The Falkirk Childrens Panto", where children in a theatre group would perform a panto. Anyone know when STV stopped showing it?


I know it was still going in 1992.

Style Challenge. In my head this ran and ran, and was a staple of weekday mornings. But at that age a couple of months was a long time so who knows?

In the era I'm thinking of Can't Cook Won't Cook was at 10am and Style Challenge was afterwards at about 10:25am, both notable in that they had rotating presenters when one of a few could appear on any given day.

The only memory I have of it was that there was a gate at the back of the set, most walked through it at the start but John Leslie would jump over it.

Gaelic Games on Channel 4.

Can't help but like Gary Terzza's announcement at the start...

This reminds me of school lessons in the run up to Christmas where we were allowed to watch videos, and for some reason we had to endure Satellite City.

Speaking of remakes. I think I was the only person who liked the Martin Clunes remake of Reggie Perrin and was disappointed they didn't at least finish it off with a one-off special.


And it also featured Neil Stuke from Game On.

That's such an inappropriate intro to Trisha!

I bet nobody remembers GMTV2 or the original format of ITV2 either, though it was at a time when hardly anyone had access to the channel. Similar to when BBC Choice and Knowledge were new and putting out interesting original content- but nobody saw it.


I did, but I remember thinking how few people were actually watching. It was exciting to be in at the start. This was particularly true with BBC Choice NI
