[Ever Ready]

Can anyone remember a series that ran on bbc1 for several years in the late sixties it was in black and white and was based around a pool surrounded by rocks. It was produced in an eastern European country possibly Rumania and the main characters were a girl, a giant gold fish and a dwarf, can anyone recall the name of this programme? sounds weird I know or did I dream it?

Nice one Ever Ready I used to love that programme didn't realise it was in colour as mum and dad only had a black and white tv at the time.

A real rave from the grave

I'm soooooo glad I started this thread. My missus hasn't laughed so much for ages. The girl, the goldfish and the dwarf cracked her up and, when Tony said he didn't realise it was in colour cause they only had a b&w set, it finished her off

And what of Seaman Staines?

....and cabin boys shouldn't be 'rogered' whatever their name.

No such character

It's amazing how the memory plays tricks.

I felt sure Roger the cabin boy, seaman staines, and Master Bates were all real. Perhaps I was watching the adult version.

Blimey,the memories!The test card,the National Anthem at the end of the days programming[no 24hr tv back then]and of course watching the little white dot in the centre of the screen disappearing when you turned the tv off

.......and the Intermissions with especially "the Potters Wheel" and "The Windmill".  I loved them

In the sixties everybody was 'spaced out' wth LSD or the Apollo missions, Lizzie.

In the sixties, there was Carnaby Street, mini skirts, free love, lots of drugs....it was a time for the youngsters to take control of their own lives and to start influencing society in a big way......on the telly. Switch it of and go outside and it was still raggety arsed kids kicking a football about the back streets of Liverpool.

[Bigron]

Football? Now that IS a bad thing!
