Thank you for all the great memories that you have brought back to me, coming home from primary to watch Pipkins and watching Picture at school! Have you done a show specifically about schools programs, you probably have but my recent memories are not as clear as the childhood one! Robert Vine

Wonderfully nostalgic stuff, with a really nice variety of subjects covered within its 1970s TV remit.
