The report in the press last week talks of a channel aimed at over 50s with vintage shows and music from the 50s, 60s, 70, and 80s.

80s????? I grew up in the 80s and I'm not yet 40.... god I feel old now.

Can anyone remember "The Vital Spark" especially Parra Handy?

I have all the Vital Spark and Para Handy episodes on dvd. They still make me laugh.

The Vital Spark - I remember an episode where they had to deliver a coffin (I think) and they pushed it up a hill and it rolled down again. It was simple but hilarious.

[Hopkirk]

Will it shut down at 10.30, with National Anthem then a small white dot and annoying noise?
