Considering CITV has celebrated 30 years of networked kids output, here's STV's regional effort with legendary presenter Glen Michael on YouTube.

    I used to watch this as a wee laddie and was really excited when we were told that the Christmas treat for our primary class day out was to be given a guided tour of Edinburgh's Waxworks Museum by Glen himself.

    When he arrived he was very, erm, "merry" and smelt like my Dad after coming home on a Saturday night. One of the resident guides took us around instead, but Glen tagged along going "Ooh" and "Ahh" at everything. Was still a good day and he seemed really nice.

    I remember he came and put on a show at our local community centre when i was 10 or 11, had his dog Rusty? and his lamp..Palladin was it?
    Remember he used to show old Fantastic Four cartoons in two halves, great fun, i haven't thought about him in years. Gonna have to look him up now!

    Yes his dog was called Rusty and lamp Palladin.

    I liked watching Arabian Nights.

    Ahh the memories !

    Some of the cartoons I remember him showing were Atom Ant,Roger Ramjet,Batfink,The Banana Splits & Fang Face.There was also another cartoon that he showed.I think it was a little Spanish guy that travelled the word & he use to say 'I want to be your friend,hey amigo'. or to that effect.
