chocolate hunks!!! They could make a fortune selling those at Easter lol The nearest thing to a chocolate hunk that Cadbury's have ever done - to my recollection anyway - was Freddo, a chunky little frog-shaped chocolate bar (dunno if it's still for sale). With a bit of imagination and maybe a spot of sculpting with a hot knife - hey presto! Turn your chocolate Freddo into a chocolate Charlie or Danny - and ENJOY! . |

LMAO PQ. I had a Freddo Easter Egg when I was a kid.
ooh how could I forget about Ivan.....he was a handsome speciment wasn`t he.
I wasn`t all that keen of David Barlow though. He was ok I suppose. I can remember seeing him in Brookside years later...he played Heather Havershams husband Nicholas Black and was a junkie as I recall. He didn`t age all that well I thought.
Alan Rothwell was in a kids prog years ago too, just can`t think of the name of it though.

yes Freddo bar`s are still for sale Pearly ,I`m no good at sculpting but I imagined it was Dev`s head I`ve just eaten lol what a delicious tip Pearly thank you  . yes Ivan was a really handsome speciment Corrie girl, and in those day`s I had a soft spot for the young Ray Langton too as he was quite dishy:), ( when he returned to the street I thought he`s still ok but not the same somehow :,( then knowing Ray langton was Toxic Tracey`s dad did,`nt help either :,( lol). David Barlow no I wasn`t keen on him eitherCorriegirl he was too baby faced and the dimple in his chin didn`t help him for me  I saw him on a advert recently for life insurance, he hasn`t aged well at all . Alan Rothwell was in a kid`s tv programme years ago? yes I know the one you mean but I can`t remember it much at all so can`t have been that good;) lol |

I could remember it but my mum would only let me watch it now and again, I never knew the name of it, picture box. I hardly watched brookside after the body under the patio, so I missed him in that.

We watched Picture Box at school too, and also a similar programme, the name of which I can't recall, which showed kids inventing their own platform-type shoes called Block-a- Boots. Strange the things you remember!

It was a few years into it...after Heathers hubby Roger screwed around and they divorced. She then met Nicholas Black and unbeknowns to her he had a bad drug habit. 1984 I think...couldn`t swear to it though.
It was way way before the Corkhills even came into it.

that might be why I don`t remember him in brookside Corrie girl because I started watching it off and on when Jimmy Corkhill and his family came into it.

I remember the launch of channel 5 or rather I don`t because my nephew was born that day, and my parent`s and I went to the hospital to see him I felt a bit miffed about missing the launch lol but he was worth it. |
