Nexus 9.1 For Sale. One Careful Owner
Here's another bygone TV request, that has been gnawing at me for years!
Back in the early 70s as part of my usual late afternoon indulgence of children's programs on BBC1 and ITV (Blue Peter, Magpie, Runaround, Double Deckers, The Tomorrow People et al), there was also a tv show on BBC2, and broadcast at around 5:30pm.
This show consisted of very short docu-features - on one occasion it was about a man building an old jalopy in his driveway, with a young girl watching him over the intervening days, until such time the car was complete and they both went out for a drive.
Then there was a feature about powerboat racing (memorable chiefly because of one of the backing songs it used - Bachman Turner Overdrive and "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"
Another feature was set in the Australian Outback, and involved the transportation of sheep in huge trucks!
I haven't been able to track any of these down from the usual sources. And now I am wondering if I was just imagining it all!?
