You weren't wrong UP, that is shoddy scriptwriting.

Which famous TV presenter appeared as a small boy buying sweets in "Open All Hours" ?

lauren harries?

how about vernon kaye?

All good guesses. All wrong.

This guy used to do kids TV, then a bit of "adult" TV, now not very much TV at all.

Right first time. Keith Chegwin appeared as a wee boy buying sweets before reaching the pinnacle of his career some 30 years later when he had his genitalia mocked by an entire nation.

Over to you UP

ta.

okay there were ten bash street kids.
name them.

Plug.

er.

That's all I know! Unless there was a Basher or someone as well. Incidentally, is that where the word PLUGUGLY is derived from?

okay, how about we say any 10 beano comic strips?

a plugugly was a highwayman/rough sort back in the day, wouldn't be surprised if dc thompson got influenced by it for his name.

May get a few mixed up here. Dennis The Menace. Minnie The Minx. (Dandy ?) Desperate Dan (Dandy) , The Eggheads (liitle creatures controlling the body functions), Billy Whizz, Rodger The Dodger, the really limp wristed kid (forgotten the name), Olive Oyl?

minnie the minx
bash street kids
billy the whizz

I think you're amalgamating all the different comics into 1? And the Eggheads were the Numbskulls weren't they?

There were The 3 Bears in the Beano .. and Walter the Softie....

Beano was crap anyway... now Whizzer n Chips was a real comic... Bumpkin Billionaires, Mustapha Million ... ah ... fond, if hazy memories.

the three bears
walter the softie
