In this episode of the podcast which remembers what it was like to grow up as a child in 1970's Britain and the central role which television played in our lives, we look at Africa. and what we did, or more accurately didn't, know about that great continent.
The various versions of Tarzan gave us non-stop adventure, even if the cartoon version did go a bit far including jungle Vikings, Abominable Snowpeople and even aliens in flying saucers. We also share fond memories of Daktari, the all round decent animal doctor with Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion and the 70's fashion for safari suits.
