I haven’t exactly done these in order so this is week 16 and I will get around to week 15 at some point.
Week 16 in the ukstampers weekly challenge is all about television.  Things to include:

• do you own a TV, more than one? What is your first memory of television?
• what’s your favourite programme?
• use a TV listing page as part of your background

My first memories of TV were black and white images and the testcard that was showing when there were there were no programmes on.  I think we only has 2 stations back then.  I remember when the testcard F came on in colour with Carole Hersee with her clown doll called Bubbles.  My gran used to keep the TV in a roll-top cabinet which I can just about remember but it is just a vague memory now, it also had side doors.  ‘Watch with mother’ was one of my early favourites with ‘Pogles wood’.  I do remember always having to fiddle with the indoor aerial and every now and then give the TV a sharp thump to get rid of the snowy interference.  When there was a good film on or good comedy show on the whole family would watch it together and pass round a bag of sweets.  My gran had a wee dog called Scottie who would always sit in front of the telly (not the roll-top one) waiting for ‘Crossroads’ to come on.  I can’t say I have a favourite programme these days but I do like a wide variety – a bit like my music taste really.
