It was our Dad, used to frighten me to bits when you would hear it roar up

Don't think I've ever seen an episode in my life

….nor me but I remember the theme tune

Just started watching Dr Who from the start of the Jon Pertwee era. Pleasantly surprised that the first story featured the first minute or so of Oh Well, very nice.



God bless the interweb.

….any excuse for me to mention possibly my favourite tune;

My second favourite Fleetwood Mac track (after Oh Well). We had a gorgeous hippie chick student teacher who used to play this at the end of lessons whilst giving everybody a piece of chocolate. I can't remember what she taught though !
Never be allowed nowadays. Needs a thread : your favourite teacher.

My fave Fleetwood Mac song, much prefer them before those pesky Americans joined and turned them into pop

I love that song ( but you probably won't like this), but I prefer the cover by Judas Priest - especially the live version.

Oh yes one of the best covers, Glenn Tipton one of the coolest guitarists

I can remember my mate was an electrician , joined the merchant navy , spent a month or so in and around the States and came back raving about Happy Days and doing all these Fonzie impression but we didn’t know what he was on about . Early ‘70s I reckon.

Yes, it was a refreshing blast, as Prog Rock had become too precious and pretentious.

I was a regular at Eric's and saw most of the major Punk bands.

Fun times, but I don't think the majority of the actual music has aged well. ( Aside from some of the Clash output)

I see men and women in their 60's (ex Mods) and they still look cool.

60 year old punks look a bit creepy and ridiculous.
