Review by Rennie

 

I was really dismayed how little there is on the www about this great man when I tried to research more on this show.. He deserves much more recognition for the hours of entertainment and inspiration he gave me and many other kids of the 70’s. His was a very quiet man for an entertainer but had a way of connecting to us kids that others just didn’t.

 

I never managed to get his *Magic Box* but will always remember his shows and the day he introduced the UK to Basil Brush.

What an amazing piece of kit our telly was. Can you imagine having to change channel by turning a knob to tune in BBC2 and forever getting up to realign the aerial and contrast, and the only way to stop the picture from rolling was to give the set a good thump? Do you remember that we only have three channels to watch? Thinking about it, the conversation was better at school next day as everyone seemed to be watching the same thing unlike nowadays where we have too much choice. Aye, the quality of programmes seem to have dwindled when you think back to what we had in our days.
