Tv highlights

 

One of the programs I liked to watch on Saturday's was Jim'll Fix It, a requests program where people young and sometimes old would write in asking to meet various people or to do something that normally they wouldn't have access to.

I would sit glued to the screen in rapt attention throughout the show as the requests where read and film of them having this dream come true fixed would be shown sometimes with the person appearing live on the show afterwards.

Jimmy Saville  the shows presenter is widely believed to had been involved in sexual assaults whose details came out after his death although there are some who suggest on the information given it was unlikely.

He also presented on a number of occasions the pop music show Top of the Pops where it was just about the only place anyone who had to be in bed for nine if not a a quarter to nine had to see and hear music on the tv.

Whatever the truth of that might be, it doesn't take away how I felt about the shows and it's place in the week's highlights at the time for me.
