Something for the weekend
Mar 19, 2010
I’m 40 years older than I was when it was first on the telly but I still laughed watching this. I think it’s the sound effects, a good boing! always makes me chuckle.
What’s it all about?
The sentimental musings of an ageing expat in words, music, and pictures. Mp3 files are up for a limited time so drink them while they're hot.

one of the benefits of living in the US is that the charity shops are flippin HUGE. I bought the Banana splits record for a dollar- and its great!
magic
The show isn't available on DVD in the States far as I can tell which is shocking.
How I loved this show.
Size of a….
I think they're touring this summer, but like most 70s bands on the circuit there are only 2 original members.
Hang on the Banana Splits is not available on DVD that is a crime, loved this program way back when, funny how the teletubbies seemed so original and then you see this again and….
hey Londonlee…not a specific comment about B Splits …but I thought I might come out of the shadows and say many thanks for your blog.
I have been reading it for years and love all the rteference points and (90%) of your taste in music.
I am an expatriot Englishman age 48 living near DC now; I think we lived a similar life at a similar time.
Is Londonlee your gmail account name?
Cheers
