I loved the Black Beauty tv series and remember galloping around the garden singing the theme tune! Also enjoyed Follyfoot, The Sullivans and The Cedar Tree.

As I got older Little House of the Prairie with Lost In Space as my absolute favourite.

Grandma70s Sun 10-Jan-21 14:57:19

Not many people had TV when I was a child. We certainly didn’t, so no favourites. The first TV I saw was the Coronation in 1953, and that was on next door’s little black and white set.
