My Mum didn't want us to watch Home And Away after someone died in a car crash with their love there at the site, or something.

Ironic seeing as we watched Casualty and 'Sick Kids' (a documentary series about a children hospital, which admittedly was on STV/ITV) to a band playing. The more gory the better!

So into Casualty were we, that we'd pretend to operations on our teddies... They were defibrillated more times than a fat man running a matathon!

You must still be pretty young, as I watched casualty as an adult, it was Angels I watched as a child. :eek:

In my late teens watching Angels. All those nurses, I wonder if that was why I later married one.

A few years later there was No Angels. Again about nurses, but very different

Every patient was someone who worked in the hospital (or associated canteen) with the exception of that bloke in a red tracksuit, who always had a sprained ankle.

Was that the one that had Dr Kildare, or was that another one again?
To be honest I don't think I ever watched it - more of a Robin Hood fan in those days. Wikipedia suggests The Adventures of Robin Hood was only produced until 1959, but Border TV didn't exist until 1961. I used to watch it at a friend's house because we didn't have a TV - try telling that to kids today, they'd be asking why you didn't phone Childline.

You remember having snow in the UK winter

I remember as a kid playing on the frozen lake in Abington Park Northampton (we lived opposite) sliding for miles in my Clarks Commandos school shoes.
