Classic TV for sure.
Although the Robin Reliant Space Shuttle was truly impressive. Put enough rocket up anything and you can make it fly.
Rather reminded me of the General Electric Lightning.

Cue Jethro joke
‘Jethro’s friend Denzil Penberthy comes to him one day and ‘e says, ‘Jethro’. ‘Jethro’ ‘e says, ‘Wha’s this I hear about an Antiques Roadshow? Wha’s Antiques Roadshow?’
So Jethro turns to Denzil and ‘e says’, ‘It’s like this, Denzil. It’s like this, Denzil’, ‘e says. ‘What you do is this. What you do is that you take along to the Antiques Roadshow something from your house tha’s old and what you do is you say to them,’What I want to know is: what it is and how much it’s worth’.
Denzil Penberthy knew that the Antiques Roadshow was coming to Truro, so Denzil gets ready for the visit. Denzil goes to Truro and ‘e lines up with everbody else, except Denzil has the biggest bloody package that anyone on the Antiques Roadshow has ever seen.
Denzil pushes and pants and ‘e gets this bloody great parcel up on the table and e’ looks at the man from the Antiques Roadshow and ‘e says to him, ‘You see this thing ‘ere. You see this thing ‘ere. This thing ‘ere has been in my family for generations and for as long as I can remember it’s been up in the attic. What I wants to know is what it is an’ ‘ow much it’s worth’.
The man from the Antiques Roadshow looks at the table and ‘e looks at Denzil Penberthy and ‘e says, ‘Well I can tell ‘e. I’ll tell ‘e what it is. It’s a hot water tank’.

The funniest TV moment of the weekend
Was on Antiques Roadshow, of all places.
Some chap had brought a picture of picturesque peasant children at a well and was quite proud of it.
The expert proceeded to explain to him that someone in the 19th century with pretensions of grandeur had stopped off at Naples and had bought it as a souvenir, and that these pictures were just rolled off the line in a mass-market fashion.
Seeing the chap's downcast face the expert tried to repair the damage by then saying:
"That sounds as if I was rude about it. But for Tawdry Tourist Tat, this is as good as it gets!"
I choked on my tea and was crying for the next 5 minutes...
