Was it? Nope, Beryl Reid. Mooncat was probably just another post-Star Wars "let's make everything space" thing. When I was little, I'd watch pretty much anything set in, or linked to, space. Here's an obscure one (and one that Astro should address), "What's Your Story?" with Sylvester McCoy. An episode each night for a week (I think) and the viewers would ring in afterwards to make suggestions on how tomorrow's episode should go. The script was written that night, the episode filmed the next day, and then broadcast that evening. I can't remember much about the actual episodes, but I remember being taken in with the concept of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thicko Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Of course it was Beryl Reid! I thought Thora Hird was rather obscure for a kids tv program. I have vague recollections of the Sylvester McCoy thing also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted November 5, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 5, 2019 Esther McVey being someone you could touch yourself to all throughout the 1990s. Now I’d rather rub it frantically with a nettle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Linus Posted November 7, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2019 John Major was Prime Minister for SEVEN years. In 1987, the Daily Star ran a week-long tease for a girl turning 16 and getting her tits out. In 1984, they crashed a train live in TV to prove that nuclear waste wouldn’t spill in an accident.

Yeah, that was Sam Fox, but they did it with someone else a few years after too (Lindsey Dawn McKenzie. Must have been ten years later). Kind of stuff really doesn't age well at all.

I had an English teacher who claimed to have had a sit down chat with a young Samantha Fox about her proposed shoot, as a 15/16 year old that was quite a cool anecdote, now i'd be calling the school board if I heard that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a girl called Natalie Banus. Yeah, me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 To a lesser extent they did it with Charlotte Church. I swear The Sun had a countdown or something till she was 'legal' She then won rear of the year on her 16th birthday. What the fuck was wrong with everyone?!!
