When Beverly Hills 90210 started, I thought it was a programme about Beverly Hills in the year 90210. "Where's all the hovercars?"

As I said in one round of Trig Brother, that Perry Mason had had an accident, but bravely carried on battling crime from his wheelchair.

one of the stars was on newsround and I remember thinking "ooh she'll have to go and get changed into her school uniform very quickly".

My friend Steve told me, when he was 23, that he used to have a crush on Vicki the Viking.

It was my sad duty to inform him that Vicki was, in fact, a bloke, and worse still, he already had a girlfriend ;-)

I would always miss what the "mission" was in Mission: Impossible, so from my POV I'd only see when they were messing with some random person. I was too young to understand any of the plots so for the longest time I thought they were a team of high-tech international bad guys that would win in every episode. I thought it was a great show, seeing that the "bad guys" would actually win and get away in the end.
