Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Julie Covington?

TOTP 1978 on and I've gone all nostalgic for the 70s.

Is there anything you miss from then or wonder what has happened to it/them?

The last programme before the television shut down was always a safety thing. Dave learning to swim or the dangers or crawling into fridges. Best of all, the burning cigarette because you fell asleep in front of the television.

Those were my formative years. I still have Pink Floyd on my playlist from them. However, this episode of TOTP is now featuring Terry Wogan doing the Floral Dance - I'm transfixed.

The one of the kids on the farm being killed off one by one was like a snuff film! One got electrocuted, one drank some odd chemical. Not sure if it was on telly or one they showed us at school.

Wasn't there another one with some kid kicking his ball into an electricity substation and getting electrocuted when he went to get the ball, or am I confusing it with something else?
