She is the same age as myself. However on googling it appears she was not in Magpie?!! Jenny Hanley however was in Magpie How weird! On checking, yes she was a Tomorrow's World presenter, not Magpie.

She was working for local radio when we were working at one of the IWA Beale Park shows and did a piece on liveaboard boaters. Sheila and I were interviewed by her on board SA, so I can say I’ve had Maggie Philbin on my boat, which would have been quite a fantasy for me in the days of my youth ?.

Ain’t that odd. I’d have laid money on it being Ms Philbin presenting Magpie.

Wiltshire Moonraker Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 I think you'll find it was Multi-Coloured Swap Shop you are all thinking of, hosted by Noel Edmonds with Keith Chegwin, John Craven and, from 1978, the object of your adolescent (or later) attentions Maggie Philbin! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Ferndale' is now 'Forever Changes'. Very pleased with the results, although it certainly won't be to everyone's taste! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Robert as a painter. We tried to be realistic about what we could reasonably expect him to do in a week, but when he came to start work he was volunteering all sorts of little and not-so-little touches like bits of paisley, a design on the roof hatch, painting the poles & gangplank, to make sure we really got the look we wanted - all within the basic price he'd quoted to paint our 55ft boat, which was a little under £3000. Just seen you cruise past us at Dutton on the T&M. Love the new look, very flower power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we saw Vision Accomplished as we cruised past, desperately looking for a mooring space before nightfall! Found some rings maybe a mile further on, thankfully. 1 hour ago, Chewbacka said: A child of the sixties??? Nah, the seventies. But the best sixties have the best music.
