newbie who's only made 1 post! Posts: 1 Group: Beginners Member #3,053 Joined: September 8, 2009	Hi there, I'm new here, I've been thinking retrospectively lately, must be getting to that stage in life lol. Apologies if this has been brought up before but like I say I'm new so please forgive me. I've often thought, how cool would it be if Sky had a "retro channel". A channel that would show all those classic cartoons and programmes from the '80s, they could even have it split over 2 channels "retro Uk" and "retro Us". One channel you could have programmes like Grange Hill and on the other channel you would have Degrassi High. In between programmes they could have retro adverts too, like the Milk Tray advert, and those magic public information films, I notice that some classic t.v. adverts seem to be making a re-appearance lately so those channels would be perfect for them. Anyway, that's my thoughts, I think it would be t.v. heaven and I'm sure it would be extremely popular with us of the 30+ age group
