I most probably remember watching the Children's TV schedule that day, which began early with it being so close to the Easter holidays. Starting in the morning we had The Adventures of Tin Tin, White Horses, The Do It Yourself Film Animation Show, then The Herbs following Pebble Mill, with the usual two hour mid afternoon closedown until 4pm, the kind of hiatus in broadcasting that simply doesn't exist anymore. Then Play School,Astronut, Jackanory,Blue Peter,John Craven's Newsround,finished by Lizzie Dripping Again. All very familiar to me as a child, most of the above well-remembered. I seem to remember this particular period as I went on a camping break with my late father for a few days over this Easter Weekend, a weekend that if memory serves right had truly classical line-ups of Children's TV, particularly on Easter Monday on BBC 1,morning: The Wombles, Mary,Mungo and Midge,The Adventures of Tin Tin,White Horses,Scooby-Doo, Enchanted Island,Bugs Bunny Later:Dastardly and Muttley,Crackerjack.
Classic perhaps, but I think I missed that lineup as I was still in a tent with my Dad that day! Never mind...
