Born in 1961. Lived in an industrial area of the North West on a council estate. When I saw this back in the day I couldn't believe that such beautiful places existed to live and grow up. I ached with envy.

hope you live in a nicer place now? I was born 1961 too, but on a National Trust estate my father ran, so looking back I suppose I had that idyllic childhood. doing things Boys' Own boys did; shooting, building camps, climbing haystacks. Bit lonely being an only child but a great upbringing, no horses though, cows and wildlife aplenty. I envied the kids who lived in town; a walk away from their friends after school, football on the green, shop just around the corner, even if everywhere was shut on Sunday. Remember that? The newsagent would open till ten for the Sunday papers and cigarettes, then the whole place was dead, even TV shut down, back in the days when it was Marathon, not Snickers, Opal Fruits, not Starburst, and you could get Spangles and Curly Wurly. We had a Chinese takeaway open in 1975 in the local town where you could buy chips for 15p, so I would ride my bike the 4 miles there just to get a bag. If I wanted friends over my father had to go and collect them and take them back later. He must be in heaven now, the things he did for me.

Alright, alright!! Don't rub it in!! I'm joking. Your childhood sounds great. I was somewhere between the two. Council house, 1970s, new town,, but a great time to grow up and a great town in which to live, close to countryside and woods in which to have small time adventures. We only used sticks as pretend guns when we played war. That's not to say I hark back to those days that much; i love in the now, but in the past. These days, life is great but obviously different. The fact that I can watch videos on my handheld telephone and connect like this with strangers is something as a child I would never have dreamt was possible, even if I saw it on Tomorrow's World!

Just made a grown man cry , my sister adored the program and mostly the song and mum bought her the 7inch single which she played to death , on the home record player , many yrs later she put this scratched old disc on MY BRAND NEW STATE OF THE ART stereo (heap of junk ) lol ,well as the older big brother i lost the plot and smashed it to bits oh she cried for a month lol and as we grew up she never let for forget what i did , i would give everything i own today just to give her that single back today , but she passed away a few yrs ago now and god do i miss her , so to who ever put this on you tube i thank you for bringing back happy and sad memories of years gone by .

My Mother passed away in March. I was talking to her brother and my Uncle Kevin a while back and he recalled that she used to absolutely adore this show and the theme song. I pulled it up not long ago to give it a listen and had a mental image of my Mum as a young girl happily singing along to this song…and it broke my heart to pieces. She had such a hard life. Her Dad walked out on her at the age of 10…she was kicked out of home by her mother at 14, and ended up in an abusive relationship fraught with drugs and alcohol. She turned her life around and got clean back in 2006…only to be diagnosed with COPD and emphysema in 2007 and then lung cancer last year. How cruel that even after my Dad died and she cleaned her life up, she was still miserable. So that mental picture, of my Mum once as a happy and carefree kid singing along to a little ditty about horses, left me in floods of tears. I’m sorry Mum. You deserved so much better than what life dealt you. 💔
