For a number of years my friends and I have played a libelous/slanderous game called ‘Celebrity nonce’ Thinking about it now I fear it would be simpler to play ‘which 70s celeb isn’t a nonce’

Blimey! Sorry for bringing back that memory. But ah yes, the Take Hart gallery theme… Wanting to get a picture on there was like wanting to be picked for Jim’ll Fix It!

Oh gosh, how terrible. My heart goes out to you and your family – I’m not surprised you’re angry. So many people have been affected not just directly but also indirectly by what these men did. It’s horrific.

Nice piece – really brought back the shared memories of my primary school years. Just wonder sometimes with this Yewtree thing where it will all end, been shocked so often now it just doesn’t sink in.

My cousin Jayne (who died in a car crash at 30) met David Cassidy on Jim’ll Fix It. It was always a great memory of her. But finding out about Jimmy saville has ruined that memory. I feel v angry about it. As you say, childhoods will have to be rethought.

Thanks. And yes: it’s indeed a very sad state of affairs if/when it calls us to question all the presenters we loved as kids

I hum the tune of ‘The Gallery’ (badly) to my boyfriend while I show him what I have been posting on tumblr.
