Mains lead that had a significant resistance. Often used with radios that had been designed for 110v working so that 130v was lost in the lead.
And people tucked them under carpets...
Isn't that exactly how underfloor heating works?

Blimey - thanks.

I think you are right. I remembered Rag Tag and Bobtail but I wasn't sure if that was one of the group!

Don't knock it.
Clyne Radio in Tottenham Court Road sold me the ludicrous radio kit where the instructions said to fix it together with the angle brackets and the supplied nuts and bolts. The nuts being inside the cubular case.
It may have been that or the previous crystal sets that wouldn't tune, so there was only AFN's Hillbilly Reveille or Stickbuddy Jamboree in the early morning, or, later, the R&B show that had "Roll Over Beethoven" as the most voted for request every week for well over a year.
Not many people in the UK were so aware of or affected by hearing of the death of Hank Williams. I like to think that the Rolling Stones may have been fellow travellers with the R&B.
An Aussie one. "The Terrific Adventures of the Terrible Ten".
They used SCR-536 handhelds!
And electric blankets.
Two out of three of those by the brilliant Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, of course. A year or two back I bought the complete "Noggin the Nog" on DVD. One of the best purchases I've ever made. :)
Too late for me. My first TV memory is Muffin the Mule.
But I once had dinner with Peter Firmin.
Oh wow. No I don't remember it (born 1953) but I wish I did.
From the description it sounds like the computer included a 3D printer.
I thought that was a sexual offence - until I discovered Smirnoff.............
Sorry, couldn't resist it - and another memory to boot!
Yes that is correct, and in the right order.
Tales of the Riverbank was a few years later, and it was boring!
Only with the arrival of the internet was I able to confirm that this hadn't been a figment of my childhood imagination.

Looks like I still have some of my marbles then. ;-)
For our music homework I was once required to produce a few bars of original tune, showing exposition, development, recapitulation...
Lacking inspiration, I though I could get away with the Rag, Tag & Bobtail theme, which fitted the template. I might have got away with it had not the teacher decided to see what it sounded like on the piano. It was recognised. :-(

I found all of them boring when I reached 25 too.
