RHLSTP Book Club 139 - The Golden Age of Children’s TV - Richard chats with cult TV expert Tim Worthington about his fabulous book about the TV that people of Richard’s age (and a bit older and a bit younger) grew up with. They discuss quite how huge an influence these shows were on Richard’s developing brain, what makes some shows memorable and others not, how some of these shows exist in our minds from before we have any other memories, the amazing creative teams behind successes like Thunderbirds, Bagpuss and Camberwick Green, when Norris Macwhirter was bested by a Simon Quinlank prototype, whether Johnny Ball had a bar of gold on his back, why Richard cried over a TV show when he moved to Cheddar and who N’kima was.
