I want Miss Hanley's lovely voice on my sat nav. What a lady.

[@johnmoore9862]

I had such a crush on Jenny Hanley.

[@Tampo-tiger]

Both her and Susan Wa...Stranks.

[@knoxyish]

and me!!

[@grandadgamer8390]

God, Jenny was a bit of eye candy 🙂

[@martinfitzgerald1605]

Magpie, one for silver, six for gold, seven ...👏🏻👏🏻Cracking programme.

[@daviddwyer5568]

Oh my! Jenny Hanley was very lovely, wasn't she? Come to think of it she still is and it is 2023 now. Now she is on Boom Radio in the UK and is absolutely delightful.

[@mr.y.mysterious.video1]

I still have a rotary dial phone at home. Only bought it two years ago

[@woodyeckerslyke9676]

“IN” the Isle of Wight? Surely ON. Anyway so good to hear correct English being spoken instead of the awful street slang you hear on the TV nowadays.

[@maximmc8228]

'In' is English and 'On' is American, but now most on UK use the American :)

[@michaelcullen5308]

In "When I'm Sixty Four" Paul McCartney sings "we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight". So that was the usage in the 1950s (he wrote it when he was a teenager).

[@woodyeckerslyke9676]

@@michaelcullen5308 A change in language usage? I have no idea but the Isle of Wight is an island so technically you’re ON it not IN it...

[@laurence0123]

“correct English”.. language evolves, and we should evolve with it

[@tomrhodes3456]

..best of this ..is Jennie's outfit, really ..

[@MrDirkles]

You know standards have fell when a childrens programme from 1976 is more intelletual than anything on tv in 2020 :D

[@M500VYN]

The irony

[@AchtungEnglander]

That is a bit hyperbolic. There are plenty of cerebral documentaries and shows on TV today.

[@Inaflap]

@@AchtungEnglander Hyperbolic? Is that when one hangs much higher than the other?

[@AchtungEnglander]

@@Inaflap yes usually the left is higher

[@peterhigginsson9875]

People can't even conjugate the present perfect.

[@talkinghat88]

Mother-in-law earpiece....😬👍

[@tonyinit8488]

My word i would have liked jenny's number.....

[@benjaminclasper9355]

I like how with magpie it’s more helpful I think to teenagers growing up from this and it’s still education in a way but it’s also keeping up to date to that time then and the presenters are not talking down to you like you’re a very young child maybe how blue Peter sometimes did I think and magpie must have understood teenagers more I think at that time and the presenters were really kind and polite with speaking to the viewers as who they were and they knew with what age level were watching I think.

[@josephkane829]

Love the trim phone at the start. My favourite. Memories.

[@ctrlaltdelboy]

I want to see the next item, looks like ceefax or a prestel service on the tv

[@seamusellis1450]

Probably Prestel... Or Viewdata as it was..

[@glpilpi6209]

There's a recent Thames video uploaded on that too. Prestel Viewdata System . We ordered parts with it in the 1980s

[@chefevilee9566]

A analog telephone!!!!! My grandmother had one of those receivers that turned up the volume! She was very grateful for it.

[@chefevilee9566]

@Richard Steele haha I’m sure. That’s when products were made great!

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

5:07 I actually have one of those phones! It's on my desk. I no longer have a landline (because it's 2021 lol) but I can't bring myself to get rid of it XD

[@JohnDoe-tx8lq]

I used too phone the Speaking Clock, but the conversations were always rather disappointing. 😟

[@kamrankhan-lj1ng]

Rather dull.

[@ModMokkaMatti]

Has anyone dialed 999 to get help for Basshead, or to inquire what may have become of him/it/them? I sorta miss that galoot.

[@jourwalis-8875]

Ericson became a very large telecommunications company........

[@Flughafenkaiser]

Gosh Im almost as confused with the selection of phones in this video as I am going into a store for one today. I liked that modern one where you need to press the buttons with the telephone number you wish to contact. That is state of the art stuff really.

[@sh-ig9fm]

Why did old tv shows shot in a studio on video echo like that I seen it lots of time.

[@jourwalis-8875]

How about the mobile phones in 1976?

[@buzzofftoxicblog791]

Cool smart phone next 50 years vintage my telling bone! 1976 buttons on a phone! Loved Magpie! but Blue Peter just won Buzz Knapp-Fisher #buzzofftoxic

[@TheStevenWhiting]

Little bit of extra charge for the digital phone!

[@DaraM73]

“This is very important for the almost deaf” 🤣

[@abuhamza1970]

Reminds me of a Not the Nine o’ clock News sketch where Rowan Atkinson ( as a deaf man) wears a contraption on his head that has a flashing light when the phone rings.

[@AchtungEnglander]

@@abuhamza1970 Oh yes that was funny. Was that not a riff on Tomorrow's World?

[@chrisbriswrites]

That Swedish engineer who designed that - is that the same Erickson - as in Erickson telephones?

[@julytien]

wasn't there a number that you could dial, and it would call you back??? l use to prank my friends doing this

[@trevorrandom]

Better than Blue Peter that's for sure

[@mikehudson8884]

Yes because of Miss Hanley.....

[@Mr2pint]

Peter is a character 🤣

[@altarace]

4:36 what's he saying teratactile? pterodactyl?

[@Tampo-tiger]

Eriksson? That bloke was making telephones forever.

[@laurenceskinnerton73]

Haven’t things changed.

[@haroldofcardboard]

he spilled the acid. oh no!

[@EgoShredder]

Only 21 million out of 60 million in 1976 had a telephone? Wow.

[@Witheredgoogie]

But you didn't need one for each person like a mobile, they were in the home used by everybody.

[@EgoShredder]

@@Witheredgoogie Very true.

[@peterhigginsson9875]

56 million to be exact.

[@fatlad5090]

wow 21 million people in 1976. Now 65 no wonder the country is fucked

[@sloth_energy]

21 million was the number of people, or more likely households, with a phone not the population as a whole.
