Are you nostalgic about something?

23 January 2014 Rob Buckley Classic TV 3 Comments

I’m running a bit low on nostalgia. Okay, I’m not really – there’s still plenty of shows piled up in the ‘Nostalgia Corner’ queue. However, the time needed to do them justice versus the time I actually have available most of the time aren’t always the same thing.

So in a somewhat radical move, for the first time since I opened the blog in 2006, I’m asking you gentle reader if you’d like to contribute your memories of a TV show from your youth to Nostalgia Corner. They can have aired anywhere in the world and you can write as much or as little as you want. The only criteria I have are:

  1. There should, if at all possible, be illustrative clips available on sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, the Daily Motion, et al that can be embedded in an entry
  2. They should either be in English or be available subtitled/dubbed into English.

Do I have any volunteers?
