I also remember Dad getting me up late at night to listen to Rocky Marciano and other boxers coming over from America live... Did'nt have a telly until ITV first broadcast, but watched Rag Tag & Bobtail, Bill, Ben and Weee-eeed and dear old Muffin on a neighbours telly.......does anyone remember an American lady with a sock puppet called Lamb Chop? Also something with Larry the Lamb, and he always said @Oh Mr. Maaaayyyyor@ in a bleating voice.....Toytown maybe...
