UK TV NOSTALGIA SITES - LAST CHECKED & EDITED MAY 2008
If you're curious about practically any animated or puppet UK kids tv show,then
www.toonhound.com should be your first port of call.
www.tv.cream.org More about the general sights,sounds and toys of childhood,rather than specific tv progs
And no less interesting for that.
www.doyouremember.co.uk is a rapidly growing site that's attempting a similar sort of thing.
www.tv-ark.org.uk used to be the king of clips and screenshots for all sorts of UK tv progs.
But it's been undergoing a rather depleting revamp for quite a while.
www.retrosellers.com started out as a directory site for businesses selling nostalgia-hence the url.But it's developed into a far more rounded retro portal.And has some interesting interviews.
If you'd like to link to me, please feel free to right-click & save this small gif.

ON THIS PAGE.....Just some other sites you may find interesting. (no click-thru's)
And if you've got a suggestion for possible inclusion,the email address is on the home page.
These next ones are predominantly link sites.If it's a cartoon or animated series you're after,then try Toonhound first.
If not,try these:-
The most popular and the longest running being www.sausagenet.co.uk -good forum too
And then,in no particular order,there's
Fancy some of your favourite CHILDHOOD SWEETS while you browse ?
Well you'll probably find something to tickle your fancy at one of these online suppliers.
They're the 3 main ones I could find.Although I've resisted the temptation to try them out
myself because my dentist's rich enough already.
But if you've got no such qualms,then enter pick 'n' mix heaven.....and don't forget to floss.
CHOCAHOLIC HEAVEN
No retro angle and not a pear drop or sherbert lemon in sight here. And nothing for sale either.Not very promising eh ?
But if you want to find out about all things choccie in today's UK marketplace then this is definitely for you.
Oh,and don't forget that wrappers often consist of paper and foil,which are both easily recycled.
Most kids now recognise the lunacy of chucking everything in a big hole in the ground.
So don't get left behind,and check out this helpful site for guidance.
" Leaving eh ?!
Well get back 'ere sharpish !!"
