Anyone remember Knightmare? I loved the Moomins, though it scared me sometimes. Poddington Peas was brilliant and so was He-Man. I hated too many to make a list.

I loved Knightmare! That was, of course, until I watched it recently on Challenge TV and realised how shite it was

Yeah, suppose it was crap, but was fun at the time. Don't think anybody ever won. Yeah it was the virtual reality game.

.jpeg, i those days, way ahead of its time... 32 bit files...with compression... praise be...
Back then just about everything was done with vectors, which in layman terms are stright lines programmed ot appear at specific co-ordinates. Jay-sus, i remember when that stuff was 'cutting edge'', nowadays its all pixel shders, rendering pipelines, anisotropy and anti-aliasing
How things have changed

God yeah, that went on for years. Didn't the creepy uncle die in the end? What about Childrens' Ward on CITV? That Mags (might've been Max, I never knew) one reminded me of one of the dinnerladies at West Park  |

Challenge is number 15 on our ntl, i think  Anyone remember Round the Twist on CBBC? can't remember much, except there was three kids who lived with their dad in a lighthouse in australia, and really 'fun' and 'wacky' things happened to them. I think it was on for about two hours every day, and it always ended up with them competing in some sort of Bird Man contest. |

"How do they do that?!" with Des Lynam and some bird with brown hair. Another program that went on for hours and told you how they did certain things on TV (none of which I can remember)
Oh, actually, I think one topic was how they made the Halifax ads (Moon River etc)

Something to do with lightspeed travel and working backwards, making the day twice as long? Also, I remembered Melvin and Maureen's Music-o-grams the other day; pile of crap. Still, I miss stuff like that. Reminds me: Retro TV Intros |

Still made you wrong though. Wronging wronger. I wasn't paying enough attention to say anything relevant, never mind wrong. You were just trying to hold a conversation with someone in the middle of playing a game of pool and assumed I said something wrong when in fact I just totally ignored whatever it was you were on about. But if it makes you happy, yeah I was totally wrong. Whatever it was I said about whatever you were talking about was waaaaaay off the mark. I feel so foolish. |
