Tim Worthington has a new book out called The Golden Age Of Children’s TV – all about the best, worst and most just plain baffling shows you grew up with in the sixties, seventies and eighties – and the lines are open now for an hour of fun, facts, laughs and thrills. If you’re a fan of The Adventure Game, Martin Ruddock will be taking your calls and offering a few hints and tips on how to beat the puzzlers and make it across the Drogna Board. They’re The Monkees, but Paul Whitelaw will be in the studio for a look at what you can look forward to when Micky, Davy, Mike and Peter take over your television. Ste Brotherstone will be joining us with a few ideas of how you can stay top of the class for the new term at Grange Hill, Danny Kodicek has the long and short on Big John Little John, and Juliet Harris will be coming to us live from Teddington as she meets the stars of The Sooty Show. So if you want to join in the fun – or just swap a copy of Grange Hill Graffiti for a copy of Drogna on the BBC Micro – ring the show now!
