Your observation on remembered scraps of random films and TV programmes is very accurate for the 80s. I recently (well, in the last few years) watched The World of Suzy Wong, having a vague memory of having previously seen it at around the age of six. It really was a case of watching whatever happened to be on. Sometimes it was wonderful as in the case of my first viewing of It’s A Wonderful Life, on a random Sunday afternoon in Spring, well before it became a seasonal classic. At other times (as with Suzy Wong) it was just a bit odd. I do think though, and I feel I might have said this before, that the scarcity of content has led to me having a love of films of all genres and of all ages, something my children will absolutely not entertain.
