Hi Tracy, The answer to number 14 is "It's a square world" with Michael Bentine who was a Goon. I am feeling ancient, as I seem to have watched most of these programmes when I was younger!! Sue |

Number 3 is Tex Tucker from Four Feather Falls. Old puppet show from the makers of Twizzle etc. Number 19 is Blue Peter - sad/blue, slang for safe/peter Sue |

Hi, I think no. 13 is 'Vote, vote, vote for Nigel Barton' no. 3 is 'Two gun Tex from Texas' (Although Tex Ritter was a real singin' cowboy - try his version of 'High Noon') 'Torchy' is definitely the battery boy - he had a black cat, really showing my age now! Will have a look at the others....... :) |

Was the Arts programme for everyone Omnibus? I thought Everyman had a religious/moral tone. Rosemary(Essex) |

I don't remember Michael Palin in theGoon Show. I think he's too young! It started in the 1950's. Rosemary(Essex) |

Hi Tracey, I think No.17 is 'Dorian Williams' (anagram, although we're short of an 'i') - showjumping commentator I think from 70's? Sheila |

Hi Tracey I think the answer to no 3 is Tex Ritter in Four feather Falls I'm sure some of our 40 plus male members will have watched it in their chilhood and correct me if I'm wrong Bren |

No 9 is Eamonn Andrews. He was an ex-boxer (pugilist) and hosted 'What's my Line'!! The battery one is 'Torchy, the battery boy'. Haven't got time to look at the others yet, but I will! Janet |

Answer to question 3 could be pettrochelli, (chello) he lived in the desert in a big camper van one of my favourite old programmes. |

Hi There, I'm back. Well, what can i say! Ya coming up with some corkers now. All ready for the next load of questions? Here goes: (12) Mad hatter burns it's expert committee. (13) We were told three times to exercise our franchise for him. (14) Why circumnavigation isn't possible in an ex-goons sphere. (15) Vice? You'll turn to a redheadsallure for me! (16) Here's where some 1970's ITV viewers saw the weather forecast for the first time, clear or murky but less right. (17) Sword, mail....lain asunder to reveal equestrian informer. (18) Feed for 'orse named after galaxy, perhaps? (19) Sad, safe- and popular with children for 40 years. (20) Remove owl for schoolboy. (21) Rex bart - Mondays muddly talker before Murray Walker! (22) Game detective, no digger, gave voice in ultimate state. (23) Muddy lights, hall unpainted, at a noon variety show. (24) Rude teen is only put right when Danes hammer is employed. Well, thats your lot. I thought Q14 might have something to do with Michael Palin as he was a goon wasn't he and he did 80 days around the world? And Q19 Blue Peter? |
