Stig

1. Desert Crusaier (not that anyone remembers it, and they'd never get away with a programme like that now)
2. Bobby Charlton's Casdon Soccer
3. Old Jamaica choc bar

March51

1. Rin-Tin-Tin (and his pal Rusty).

2. I can't remember the name of this football game but each person had a stick with a magnet on the end of it and you could move players around as they also had magnets fitted. It was played on a 'pitch' made of thin Bakelite and you moved the stick under the pitch to move your player. Lots of fun, a forerunner of Subutteo. The magnets were reversed in each team so you couldn't move the opposition's players.

3. 'Palm' toffee bars, especially banana flavour, and 'Flying Saucers'

Friend Or Defoe

1) A favourite TV programme: Fun House

2) A favourite toy or game: Mouse Trap

3) A favourite food/confectionary: Curly Whirly

Dippenhall

I'm with March51 for 1 and 3.
