[edit]If you haven't seen [1] you might enjoy it. And [2] is just brilliant IMO. Which leads us to [3]. I'll stop now. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:40, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- Yay!! Thanks, classics. Sadly, I'm old enough to remember watching them in hysterics, as a teenager, when first broadcast on Monday evenings (I believe) on BBC2 ...on the cathode ray tube via analogue broadcasting....concepts as remote as parchment and the quill pen for most here now.

- I'm guessing BBC was like Sveriges Television in those days, with about 2 channels? I wasn't quite a teenager in the early 80:s, but I do remember the technological environment. We left home without cell-phones in those days, how strange is that. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:05, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- Yep BBC1, BBC2 and ITV and that was it. Everyone watched the same thing at the same time. Next morning everyone would be talking about those sketches as though they were a major news event. Those were the days...:) DeCausa (talk) 17:10, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- Americans sometimes wonder at the Swedish Christmas TV-tradition, a program with some classic Disney, Kalle Anka och hans vänner önskar God Jul. Santa's workshop (which has gotten shorter over the years since some of the toys became seen as racially insensitive), Mickey Mouse and the caravan etc. But in those days, it was the one time (almost) of the year that SVT would let us watch some decent capitalistic cartoons. Otherwise we got at best Professor Balthazar and La Linea. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:44, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- Interesting. I think in the UK we've relied more on homegrown inexplicable Christmas TV traditions like falling asleep to the Queen's Christmas message. DeCausa (talk) 21:31, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
