It was still going well into the 80's.
I think Jason said 70's kid which I took as being born in the 70's

No, Mac, I said 70s kids but should have added apostrophe - as in 70s kids' TV. I'm a 60s kid, and had no idea WDY continued into the 80s! I'm feeling old... :shock: Meh, it obviously won't have been as good as the earlier series :mrgreen:

If everyone boycotted sky then they wouldnt get the return on their investment, the price would plummet and the beeb would get it back. Seems Bernie and Rupert enjoy a good old monopoly

I rarely get to watch F1 live anyway so I sky+ every qually and race, also means that I can ffwd through any p1sh. Extended highlights will do that for me :)

It also depends on who the commentators are, I can see Brundle following the rainbow to the pot of gold at sky and the beeb having to chap up someone Legardesque.
