In Part 2 the dream team of John, Val and Pete are interviewed and there's the arduous task of digging the things up. Continues in Part 3. 07.01.00, all copyright remains BBC.
John Noakes Absolute legend: Free Fall Parachuting, Cresta Run , Climbing Nelsons Column without all the OTT safety crap they'd have today. Kids could do with a role model like him these days instead of the airhead superficial muppets we see today.
I was 7 when this came out and it's all I can do not to burst into tears watching it. Childhood's a special thing, though I don't suppose you realise that until much later on.
You dont think about it when you're young, you just live life thinking you'll always be that way. It only really hits you in middle age, which I am at now.
I was about to turn 30 then (2000). Too young to remember the time capsule being buried as I was still in the pram at that stage! I do recall John and Peter some years later. Val presented the Money Programme, which is another trip down memory lane.
I got 50p a week in 1982 and both my parents didn't work ,my dad was disabled and my mum looked after him ,50p was nothing in 1982 but you saved up ,it took months but you bought a new spectrum game
Noakes seemed not all there and his inappropriate sniping at Singlton makes me think he was showing the very first signs of his documented Alzheimer's disease.
Konnie Huq was in everything. Even today they roll out the same old gang, day in, day out, night in, night out. Philip Scofield, Dan Walker, Richard Osman, the awful Romesh Ranganathan, Rob Beckett, and worst of all, the camp and very irritating fella with the bizarre strip of minty-blue teeth. What's his name? Nylon or something similar. For christ's sake let's see some other faces on our screens. I'm already going slowly but surely unhinged during lockdown, and seeing these "celebs" on my television set with such hideous regularity will surely tip me over the edge into the chasm.
