Where do you ever see a Rubik's cube now? There must be thousands of them up in lofts. The trouble is it's all computer gadgetry now. You're still using your hands and your brain but in a different way. I liked the Mastermind game where you had to work out the colours and sequence of the pegs of the opponent when they were hidden.
In my yoof I bought a pair from Petticoat Lane, remember sitting in a cold bath with them on (?) and they remained rigid for months after washing ... LOL
This is a bit flawed where tv is concerned now because bringing back the originals would be great. Things come back but are repackaged and not for the better? I'm thinking of Dallas and Prisoner as examples.
Who remembers this?
Growing Pains was even better but there is nothing on Youtube available to support my claim.
