I'll join you, Sandra!

I would like to fall into Holby City so that I can drool over Guy Henry ( the one who plays Henrik Hansen).

He is so deliciously evil - but with a soft centre - I just LURVE that man!

Oooo, I like this idea Sandra! I fell into the welsh rugby earlier in Italy, got wet there so have nipped over sports channels to go to SAfrica to watch the cricket and soothe my damp joints in the sunshine! Look out for me, I'll be the one with a damp daffodil round my head, but a huge smile....x

Good. Job you don't live in my house between OH and son constantly changing channels I would have me bum In the rugby scrum and my head giving the news :)

You have to visit dr who while you're there. Ask him to take you to a time when fibro is cureable :)

Ohhh Sandra I saw you in twitter with mother... You were perched on andy pandys swing, but by the time I got there you had flown into pogles wood, I tried to follow you but got trapped by a giant bizzy lizzzy, fortunately muffin the mule arrived and we rode round searching for you but I got distracted by the largest spotty dog I ever did see.. Hope you are safe ...

I flicked through a lot of channels but only saw an Australian guy rescuing a kitten from inside a wall, some hunky New Zealand policemen and their dogs (if I'd seen you there Sandra, I'd have come and joined you!) and a US film about a woman who dreamt she would die, then did - there was a very handsome hero who saved another woman from the same fate! I didn't see you anywhere so I hope you got home safe?

Fibrofoggiest

Comes out of her swoon and having been a cordon blue cook in her finer days would love to fall into a rugby scrum with Jamie, James Martin, Raymond Blanc, Michel Roux and his son, Gino whatshisfacel (foggily as ever) - being in the centre of the scrum I would be fine and not hurt because of my floating fogginess enveloping me ! hehe

I'd happily fall into Person of Interest and stay there. I quite like the idea of Jim Caviezel rescuing me every time I was in danger, sigh

I too would ike to fall into Holby City, perhaps I could have all those consultants and clever F1's to give me a cure then I could go off with naturaist Brian Cox to explore wondeful nature.

Ok I am going into the sky F1 channel with kimi reikonnen ... Hangs sign.... Do not disturb...

If I was falling really really deeply back into the past I would land in Tales of The River Bank - probably no one here remembers it as fog is soooooo old. Hehe. It had Hammy Hamster, ??. Ratty Rat ?? and a Guinea Pig whose names escapes me (surprise surprise) and a lot of their voices I think we're done by Johnny Morris all floating about in toy boat on the river and there was a lovely guitar tune which goes like this lalalala lalalala lalalala lalalala .................those were the days before annnimation use real animals hehe Does anyone else remember it ?

I met Johnny Morris once he was arriving at a zoo (can't remember which one) with Terry Nutkins. I was excited about meeting Johnny and my daughter was excited about Terry.

Tales of the riverbank has a lot to answer for I was so convinced that little animals did things like that I let my gerbils into my dolls house and they started chewing everything and pooing everywhere :(

Talking of dragons, which we weren't, but I just did I immediately dragged out of my fog ridden head, one of the very best programmes to fall back into and that is the Clangers.........my mother and I always loved this, and particularly the soup dragon, who goes....blrble blrble blrble and foggy goes on to give a recitation of clanger whistling........he he what fun on a cold Sunday evening.

Oliver says:-

One of the episodes begins with Major Clanger trying to open the big sliding doors of the main

cave mouth. It jams and his first line is:

"Oh sod it! The bloody thing’s stuck again!"

I loved David Essex and the gentle series he did as a lock keeper I think called The River. Even though he is showing his years I tuned in for when he was on Eastenders. Gorgeous!

My childhood memories were Magpie, (like Blue Peter but more exciting) and CHIPS about the Californian Highway Patrol. Anyone remember Skippy the Bush Kangaroo? He always managed to convey in a few clicks who had fallen down the mine or got lost in the bush, so clever! (NOT)! Much the same thing with Flipper, the dolphin, we were so innocent those days.

How about Daktari, with Clarence the cross-eyed lion, no animation, all real animals.

I am going back to the sixties here so you may need to ask your parents!
