Day 13. Favorite childhood show
You expect me to pick just one?
From when I was really small, there were these:
The Clangers
The Wombles
and Roobarb and Custard
Then as I got a bit older, there was, of course:
Grange Hill. Of course, there was Blue Peter ("Get Down, Shep!"> which I think every kid in the UK watched at some point....it's been on since 1958!
And then there was The Adventures of Black Beauty
The longest childhood favourite, has to be Doctor Who. Jon Pertwee was my first Doctor, and I watched all the way through my childhood until it was cancelled with Sylvestor McCoy. Of course, I picked it up again with the new series, but my affection for Classic Who is enduring. My favourite Doctor, who happened to come along during my impressionable teen years was Peter Davidson.
It was as a teen my fannish self blossomed, though I knew nothing about fandom back then. Just that my friends and I would examine every angle of a new episode the next day at school. Some of those shows are still favourites today Blakes 7, Robin of Sherwood, Dick Turpin, and The Professionals.
So, yes, it's kind of impossible to pick single a favourite.
Questions are here.

Btw, it's lovely to 'see' you around again, Becca!

One of the things I love about the rise of streaming services is that I know, as I sit here, I could be watching Robin of Sherwood on Amazon Prime or Tubi as easily as typing. I've never managed to get it on DVD and I've no idea what became of the VHS tapes with a couple of episodes I used to have, but I can watch the series streaming when and how I like.

Thank you! I know I'm not great at being around. I try to post to my LiveJournal at least once a month, but sometimes I post two or three times, and others I miss completely. Sometimes I'm lurking more on Facebook or Twitter or Tumblr or YouTube or Archive of Our Own. I have accounts all of those places, and with the exception of FB where I use my RL name, I'm BeccaDG at all of them. It's lovely to 'see' you around again too, Jaye!

I've given up on LJ and pretty much just over here at DW right now. I tend to be quiet for [long] periods of time and then be around for a while. I never got the hang of Tumblr *g*, and I have an AO3 account that I'm slowly working on getting more active. And I have Twitter and FB. I'm simplyjaye in most places, except for FB, which likewise is my real name.
