The Giddy Game Show was a felt tip drawn animated activity book series for pre-school children featuring the voices of Bernard Bresslaw, Richard Vernon and Redvers Kyle. My novelisations billed the Giddy Game Show as a Hyperactivity Book series and Comic Book Activity series for pre-school children and that was in the days when we had good quality television compared to the rubbish we have now.

I remember Screen Test in the days when Brian Trueman was the presenter. Viewing figures fell around this time and at the end of 1984, Screen Test was axed.

Comical renditions of great nursery rhymes where the man and the woman singing voiced the characters too.

The song Road To Hell is iconic. I play it regularly because of the frustration of driving on so-called Smart Motorways in rush hour and also following the tragic death of a lorry driver.

The Universal Databank had a major influence on the stories I have written and comments I have made about scenes and villains from He Man, She Ra, Transformers and Superman etc. If I wrote an article about evil, I will mention about villains in science fiction programmes and people in the real world being motivated by sheer megalomania and/or an unquenchable thirst for conquest.
