    Even though I wasn't that bothered about football in them days, Jossys Giants was a favourite.

    I was also a big Knight Rider fan. I never got this Street Halk that everyone was talking about (I've still not seen it to this day).

    I used to sleep at my Nan's house on Friday night and Saturdays consisted of:

    Waking up, watching transworld sport whilst having my breakfast, live and kicking, Power Rangers, the off to town, then the match. Then id go home and watch bay watch and gladiators, then go back to my Nans with my family to watch casualty and Noels house party, and id hide behind the sofa when anyone ever got "gunged" because I had an irrational fear of gunge. Then id fall asleep watching MOTD on the black and white portable tele my Nan had in her bedroom.

    I miss those Saturdays.


    EDIT: Robot Wars was my favourite programme though
