This is actually a massive subject. Loads of amazing game shows and quiz shows to choose from. Just look at how long the list of honourable mentions is. Very tough to choose a Top Ten. I had to go for ones that I have massive…
Everyone knows what an Etch A Sketch is but not everyone has experienced a Skedoodle. Made by Hasbro in 1979, it had a cool round screen, compared to the flat Etch A Sketch screen. It also had a joystick which allowed you to draw shapes…

This Top Ten list was incredibly hard. So many great actors from so many great movies to choose from. I’ve tried to keep it to the 80s although to be honest some of the movies mentioned are from 1 or 2 years either side. Basically…
Panini sticker albums were a huge part of my childhood. I had this Masters of the Universe one as a child but I never managed to complete it and I didn’t hold on to it. I picked this complete one off eBay and it’s all…
