A rare clip from Southern Television's 'How' from the 1970's starring Jack Hargreaves putting a ship in a bottle & Fred Dinage cracking up on the potter's wheel. Great fun!
Jack Hargreaves and Fred Dinage...legends. There really are people out there who have the ability, in 2010, to entertain and educate and delight in the way these two did in the 70's. Isnt it a tragedy that children today would NEVER get the opportunity to experience them on TV? Its just wrong.
Along with Magpie, I loved this programme. This programme gave me answers to some questions that I always wanted to know. A great and interesting series for kids that were growing up in the 70's.
Sure. Today's individual children sure. Just gotta raise them right. They are born with good solid minds, it's what you feed them that makes a difference. :)
Loved the seventies when I was growing up .TV was fab! Especially these sort of programmes which were fun and you learnt stuff. Harry was like a surrogate grandad teaching you the history of things. Fred Dinenage made the science things fun. Great programmes with interesting presenters who cared about the young viewers not their celebrity image like today's do. I love and miss those days .We all used to sit down and have tea together as a family in those days too and watch Ask the Family ,Call my Bluff and The Krypton Factor! Used to love Saturday tv if it was an indoor kind of day ,we would watch one after the other .So many great shows .Flipper, Lassie ,Follyfoot, White Horses ,Black Beauty ,Belle and Sebastian ,Bizzie Lizzie ,The Double Deckers, The Banana Splits ,Daktari , Bugs Bunny and so so many more I could go on forever 😂. I liked mysteries too.. Like the Famous Five stories. Also science fiction like Tomorrow's People and Timeslip. Who else remembers these ? The spooky series 'Shadows ' I think it was called was amazing to me back then. Can anyone remember the name of a programme which was set in or around a castle ? Two lads and their bloodhound in it? Happy Memories❤
Where Jack Hargreaves pipe?...he used to puff away on the thing teaching the kiddies....add the mad theme tune to that pipe and all of a sudden my disaster of a life has a certain perspective to it.
What a difference between this original and now!?? Then it was entertaining learning, Discovering, exploring, informing, Now its total shyt, I fail to understand why blowing up a toilet is Anyway beneficial to children!! SAD TV!!!
It's a kids program based on adults taking the piss out of each other...of that potters wheel didn't put at least a smile on your face you need to up your prescription. A lot.
"dear old Jack Hargreaves, can you imagine today's brats accepting him on children's television?" Well...equally, I'd say that Hargreaves wasn't a miserable patronising old git, unlike today's people of the same age he was in the 70s! There was just as many brats in the 70s - it depends how you approach them. Jack did it well.
Fred...when I first wanted to throw a pot I bought Potters Wheel from a toys/games manufacturer.I think Chad Valley made it but I bought it in Walvale on Walton Vale Liverpool 9 when I was about 19 or 20.The art is that the wheel has to spin at a fast steady rate....ah! Got it!

So heartbreaking to know that. All the intelligent and kindest people seem to get the short straw. I hope that they are all together having wonderful times in heaven. The lines youve quoted i remember them vividly. All of a sudden ive got a clear picture of Sandra and Beryl dressed in their mini dresses and platforms, and the opening scene of the comedy with the Actual Liverbirds, the ship siren as its coming in to dock. I was only about seven but I was allowed to watch it. I used to sneak downstairs to try and peak at Steptoe and Son after we had gone to bed 😂

Fred Dineage used to have a normal voice! Who knew? In Most Evil Killers he shouts constantly
Sure. Today's individual children sure. Just gotta raise them right. They are born with good solid minds, it's what you feed them that makes a difference. :)

The bit with the potter's wheel seems like something that would be in Dad's Army.
I loved this when I was a kid when things would go wrong
Then Later In 2020, HOW Would Later Come Back As An Experiment Show On CITV! With The Answers Being WOW!
Where Jack Hargreaves pipe?...he used to puff away on the thing teaching the kiddies....add the mad theme tune to that pipe and all of a sudden my disaster of a life has a certain perspective to it.
Fred Dinage... always entertaining.
This guy was the best.
From 'HOW!' to 'How do they do that?'.
@lillabethsmum I loved it as a six year old in the 70's. I suspect your son will be a wise man too-he has good taste in his influences!
I remember watching this as a kid. Oh those were the good ole days
"I don't dance,don't ask me!"
That was the question and this is the answer.
Magic!
What a difference between this original and now!?? Then it was entertaining learning, Discovering, exploring, informing, Now its total shyt, I fail to understand why blowing up a toilet is Anyway beneficial to children!! SAD TV!!!
I remember Fred Dinenage when it made its comeback in the 90s with How 2 and the only member from the original cast, wonder if hes done much since.
He is a presenter on a tea time prog in the south east..itv ?
good old fred even in how 2 he was great in it never looses his cool when something goes bad

It was British... a programme.
50 years later we have AI . Better days? In some ways yes, but its quite scary how fast things are going to 5h1t

The theme tune to this used to terrify me!
Omg very nice

I've been retuning my TV for the past 30 odd years to no avail? Has this show now finished? :oD
(No! Don't even go there! I'm joking!)
@TheDiddlysquat Yes, I thought it was kind of odd too how he'd never changed over the years. He was born in 1942 so probably only around 30 here.
How do you get the plassteine in the bottle or plaster of Paris to look like waves begore the ship is inserted
01:56 "Lubrication is the next thing".
There's always time for lubrication.
we were easy pleased
Anybody got the hands UP symbol for this tune/song like well old lmao?
Been looking for the openig theme on RUclips but no luck do far:O(
Fred Dinenage is absolutely beautiful. Even the idea of him doing a Ghost with some old guy is insane.
Are ya dancin'?
Are ya askin'?
I'm askin'.
Ya dancin'.
the liver birds
and how did they get the plasticine in the bottle?
a true age of innocence! before Fred dinenage started consorting. wiv tasty London geezers such as the Richardson's, krays and everybody,s favourite lovable old rogue, mad Frankie Fraser. as sent on sky!!!
I tried it once and couldn't keep my clay on the wheel long enough to make anything.
they got your name spelled wrong Fred tsk tsk
:-)
all i can say is "Trippy"
How! did this ever make TV?🤭
Bonjour Frederique!,
Did you mark my maths yet?
I don't remember Fred Dineage being as rude to people on this as he was on Gambit.
is fred dineage immortal? He hasn't aged a bit.
HOW COME A LATE 80'S PHILLIP SCHOFIELD APPEARS AT THE END OF TH E CLIP? ANYONE KNOW?
LTV1UK
It's from a clips show. Look behind Schofield and see the Magpie logo.
Wasn't it this show where a horse got 'fresh' with a female presenter ?
Someone said Fred Dineage was doing pot.... well, they weren't wrong
S....Taunton!
Fred Dineage,the thinking man's Fred Dineage..
But didn't we love him.
Ahem! Hardly think 45 is ancient GT, speak for yourself, but however....
He'd get paid £250 for that today on You've been framed... ha ha
Hardly think 45 is ancient GT, speak for yourself, but however....

Be a For Kids. .
Silly.
I watched this as a kid, though other shows at the time were more interesting.
I forgot to mention two other programmes kids loved back then. Tony Hart with Morph, brilliant for youngsters if you were creative. Also Orygami
