Memories of Childhood...Images only please

Pick of the best chocolate and sweets around back in our day-do you recognise them all?

Loads of great stuff from the past here, some still available today which shows how popular they still are now. God knows what Yorkie is still doing there, it was awful.

More sweets you might remember


Remember these chewy sweets-you could get 2 for a halfpenny each OR 4 for 1p-imagine that today?
Space Dust was odd, it could have some strange side effects for some.

Some of those I haven’t seen for years. Some of them much missed. Even more so now that Cadbury’s chocolate has been ruined by their Yankee owners

The Evil Kenevil Rocket bike. All the excitement of the original stunt bike, but with the added bonus of sparks coming from the rocket boosters .

Panda Pops. Many afternoons, me and my mates, risked missing the school bus so we could pop down the road for bottle of this sugary goodness.

Watched this a lot in the early 70s...

Never saw Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, didn't drink Panda Pops, but my friends across the road once had a load of Evil Kinevel stuff including the stunt cycle(you know the one that winds up) and the travelling winnibago/caravan thing. They got it for Christmas and within three days it was broken! The only submarine thing I watched was Stingray later in my life.

I did however watch this:


"Oh dear, temporal disruption imminent!...until next time, if you dare!"

Oh God Stingray...there was as much action in the opening titles to the show as there was in the whole episode

Troy Tempest...and those weird aquaphibian creatures that lived at the bottom of the sea...all made in SUPERMARIONATION! Try getting that put on a T shirt!

Dear old Michael Rodd and film quiz Screen Test (later it was Brian Trueman who would go on to later still write and perform for Cosgrove-Hall productions like Jamie and the Magic Torch, Dangermouse, Count Duckula, The Wind in the Willows and Chorlton and the Wheelies) Michael would later go on to co-present 'Tomorrow's World'


The full version of the theme tune.

You mentioned Stingray Greeny....here's the intro...'stand by for action'
