When I was older I like Grange Hill but I had to be careful as I wasn't allowed to watch it as my Mum thought it was a bad influence on me. Haha, as if. I've turned out an angel

I predict that almost nobody on this site will remember the TV series, Orlando, starring the NI actor Sam Kydd, who worked as a detective in London.

It was broadcast in the mid to late 1970s.

Sam Kydd is a face that many will recognise: he holds the unbeatable record of having appeared in more British films, especially war films, than anyone else, always in bit parts. He was born in Belfast, over 100 years ago, and died aged 67 from emphysema in 1982.

Throughout his life he had been a heavy smoker, as many were at that time.

My other favourite, especially its theme tune was Animal Magic, wherein the presenter Johnny Morris anthropomorphised the animals he appeared with at Bristol Zoological gardens.

The star of How? has to be the incomparable sage Jack Hargreaves, who was a countryside expert, even though he had been born in a city.

A lot of his old programs are available online.

He was also a director of the now defunct Southern Television company; an unusual multi-faceted man, with a vast range of experience under his belt.

Which is why he appeared on How?. Perfect casting.

I vaguely recall a TV show called Vision On, that also included the artist Tony Hart, before he got his own show, Take Hart.

I think children could send in their art projects for display, accompanied by some interesting tunes.

A very long time ago; but not as long ago as Pink and Perky, the Flower Pot Men (Bill and Ben); and Andy Pandy, or Muffin the Mule!

Can't remember what I watched, but always remember never watched Granghill.
