The telly was downstairs in the floor that was a basement at the front but ground floor at the back. It was in the corner and I have most of my early telly obsessed moments in that house. Later we got a tv upstairs on the ground-floor-at-the-front-first-floor-at-the-back in the front room. And for a while I was the only person using that room - and because i liked cooler rooms, being by myself and watching tv nobody else wanted to watch,it suited me perfectly.
The magazine linked below from Xmas 1973; I was aged 7 and of course i remember it really well.
I thought we didn't watch much ITV but secretly I think my mum kept ITV for something we would watch together - so much stuff i remember watching with my mum around, wheras BBC is where I'd go for myself.

Rupert the Bear, Wednesday lunchtimes with egg and salad cream sandwiches, or trip. I was still in the infants and at some point my mum said I could go home for lunch, i wasn't getting on well at school with the bullying and - though i didn't know it at the time - was struggling with autism, dyspraxia and ADHD - all undiagnosed.
Rupert the Bear comics before that I seem to remember. Comic-wise I also remember Casper the Ghost, Hewy, Louie and Duey....

Mr Jeffries across the road – he taught me to play chess and we mostly drew in our games.
I remember I loved going over there. His wife too was lovely. He gave me a bike – which I had up to about age 10 (1977). It sat in the yard for ages and I felt really guilty. I asked dad about getting it fixed up and we took it too Batteries Bike shop in Prince Rock.
When we dumped it – after I got my new bike – I saw someone pick it up and take it off from the landfill site. The new bike was for passing the eleven plus.
