Welcome back to My 70's TV Childhood where we celebrate growing up in the UK during the 1970's and the huge part TV played in our lives.
This episode considers the lasting legacy of The Banana Splits and why the programme is so fondly remembered by my generation. Other important issues explored include the BBC's Saturday morning kid's TV strategy of buying a foreign programme and showing it again, and again and again, whether drugs played a part in the original vision for The Banana Splits and whether anyone actually ever saw "Herge's Adventures of Tinitin: Red Rackham's Treasure?"
