When I was a kid, we didn't have TV. Then, when I was 12, I went to live with some relatives for a while and they introduced me to what they thought were "nice" programmes for a young girl.
These consisted of things like Black Beauty and Junior Showtime. I hated them. Black Beauty did nothing for me and Junior Showtime consisted of geeky-looking, mother-fixated show-offs singing music hall songs or songs from the shows. There was this kid called Neil who used to sing about his mother and other kid who sang about his "Milly Molly Mandy".
When I started to show a preference for Thunderbirds and The Old Grey Whistle Test my relatives were horrified and from then on I was referred to as "that strange little Julie". Over thirty years later I haven't changed much but they've got used to me!!
