Why were people not allowed to watch ITV? Is that a stupid question?

We should start a petition to get them back on Telly, they were hero's of mine, and I am sure now you could get allot of cheap merchandising set up around the show !

Not a stupid question at all - but you have to understand that when I was a kid there was BBC1, BBC2 and ITV. And ITV was really, really really crap. I think m,y parents recognised that crap telly would ruin us, and shielded us from it.These days all telly is crap, and my parents have been proved right.

I always thought the corrupting bit was just an excuse.

I'm not sure that it was thought of as corrupting, just liable to dull us to pulp-brained blobs. Like I said, look around you......

I think it was the adverts that were corrupting. We weren't allowed TV or Radio on in a morning either.

I wasn't allowed to watch ITV either. It didn't bother me until i realised how much better Tizwaz was than Swapshop and what i had missed out on.

I first discovered ITV at a friends when Childrens ITV first started. It seemed exiting at the time because they didn't have an equivalent on BBC really. A couple of years later, i went to see the Pink Windmill being filmed. My views on ITV have remained the same since that point.....

As a child I remember discovering ITV and feeling amazed there was another channel with more programmes I like and could watch. So there were a few years where I watched nothing but ITV. Didn't do me any harm.


So you think. You daft mentalist.

My parent's didn't approve of the adverts! I remember everyone else watching Jaws back in the 80's and I couldn't join in on their conversations cos I watched Day of the Triffids instead! - actually think I got the better deal now

Day of the Triffids was a classic. I used to watch that with my dad and it always used to scare the pants off me.
