shiny-pebble Review of Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go and Do Something Less Boring Instead?

Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go and Do Something Less Boring Instead? (1973–1995)

On the contrary...

[4 December 2005]

I thought this program was quite fun. I remember watching it, being quite young but enjoying it. Although having said that, some of the things they suggested you do were ridiculous.

I have a very vivid memory of watching them get a coat hanger, snip it up with pliers and turn it into a V shape... now obviously that makes a very good object to stick in the back of your pony tail doesn't it?

I was stupid enough to try it (the one and only time I ever did bother copying anything from the show) and I was stuck with a a piece of metal tangled up in the back of my head... shh memories.

I do quite miss the show though. I don't remember much of the presenters but looking back they were pretty middle class.
