I'm sure I'm not the only on who occasionally strays onto old stuff on youtube. I couldn't resist Laural and Hardy followed by an episode of 'the wacky races' earlier. It would be interesting to see how many people from different countries recognize any of the things that aired on uk tv. Or just drop in something that you liked.

I don't really do that, although I have watched an episode of "Floris" on YouTube after Rutger Hauer passed away. He played the main character, and I was SO in love with him, even though I was a very li'l girlie still, hihi. I have seen some UK kid stuff years ago because of my British ex. The Magical Roundabout (?) I think was one. But they don't mean anything to me as I grew up with mostly Dutch kiddie things. Laurel & Hardy were on tv here too, called (in Dutch) "The fat one and the thin one". I thought they were okayish, but not really my thing. We had a Dutch version of them, Peppi & Kokki. That I REALLY liked! I thought it was hilarious, hihi. There was "Pipo the Clown", incredibly popular at the time! But I never look for these on YouTube. A funny one... I used to LOVE Monty Python!! Funny as I didn't know any English yet. I nevertheless had to see that every week!

I was never allowed to watch these things because they are full of garbage and the commercials were horrible. No wonder I'm so much better than everyone else. So much better than everyone else that he deactivated his account, probably to go catch up on all the ‘garbage’ he’s missed out on
