Classic T V

Classic T V 

William Tell, Robin Hood,
Ena Sharples in the snug,
Gibbs SR whiter teeth,
Billy Bunter getting grief,
Hawkeye, Ivanhoe,
Twelve-inch screen full of snow.

Range rider, Wagon Train,
Dragnet, the Army game,
Francis Drake pirate ships,
Seventy-seven sunset strip,
Palladium on Sunday night,
Classic shows in black and white.

Take your pick, double your money,
Arthur Haynes so very funny,
Armchair Theatre, play of the week, 
Candid Camera on the street,
I Love Lucy, laugh a lot,
Say goodnight with a little white spot.

Wow, this certainly took me down memory lane Robert! My parents were the first in our neighbourhood to have a TV, so we had a full house on Coronation Day. Really enjoyed your poem, especially the "little white spot" ... Kindest thoughts Ann xx
