Stuart Ball

Proper Telly Stuart Ball

In a warm, nostalgic trip down memory lane, child of the seventies Stuart Ball describes what is was like growing up during the glory days of British TV, when you could watch Top of the Pops on Thursday, wrestling on Saturday and The Muppet Show on Sunday. Along the way, he encounters mashed potato-loving aliens, remembers classic toys of the era and recalls the day the SAS interrupted the snooker. He also revisits the phenomenon of 'Who Shot JR?' and recalls how he was mesmerised by the hair of Dickie Davies.
