Steptoe and Son. The Carry On films. Every New Year's Eve we gathered around the TV to hear Andy Stewart sing in the new year from some far-flung Highland location and never for a moment thought of it as anything other than an expression of "us."
To be honest though, it was absolutely boring stuff was it not? Unfortunately the only TV channel we could get back in the early 60's was BBC so it was Hobson's choice.
