Who did you have a crush on when you were younger and what do you think of them now? I loved Starsky & Hutch especially David Soul but now I prefer Paul Michael Glazer. Out of Bodie and Doyle I adored Bodie now give me Martin Shaw (please!). I don't like to mention this but I had a huge crush on Des O' Connor when I was very little but I expect I would be too old for him now I've hit forty two! Lorrainex

Well....there's asking! lol When I was a little girl, I was going to marry Cliff Richard. Then of course there was David Cassidy (still dont like Donny - sorry!).........later Les McKeowan (Bay City Rollers for you youngsters - and dont say WHO?) Definitely Starsky...........and Doyle :) John Travolta in the days of Grease & Saturday Night Fever. Nowadays.........mmm that young Callum Best (son of George) is quite a dish........and Robbie is just 'sex on legs' when he isnt piling on the pounds ;P

Elf - I think we must be twins! I liked Hutch, now prefer Starsky! Ditto Bodie and Doyle And I'm 42... My first 'crush' was Troy Tempest (Stingray?) which is slightly worrying as he was a puppet...

Elf, im the same age as you - can you remember Michael Praed who was robin hood on the tv prog? I thought he was the most gorgeous creature that had ever been born :-)) I also used to love Barry Sheen.

Sheila (W Wilts) - it must be an age thing! I loved Virgil Thunderbird - always thought he was so cool drinking wine, smoking and playing the piano all at the same time. Sheila (Northumberland) - I loved Robin of Sherwood too - that lovely long dark hair. Aah, and Barry Sheene, bless him. Lorrainex ps - Les McKeown was always a fave although I used to tell friends I preferred Woody because I felt sorry for him. As for John Travolta, I remember going to a disco and there were two guys in the white suits (don't want to be mean but they weren't the best looking in the place) and the girls were drooling all over them.

Dorothy, I love old B&W films and one of my all time favourites is Joseph Cotten - his voice is wonderful. Lx

Yes Elvis was a real cutey pie. I now have a thing about Barry Van Dyke (that thing is called Lust). I liked Jason Connery too - well just to look at, I never really rated his acting. I must sign off now as my poor husband is working abroad and he's left a message on 1571 saying that he thinks the phone isn't working properly as all he gets is the answering service. Oh dear.. Lxx

Lol Sheila at least your first crush was animated, mine was Johnnie Walker off the whisky bottle, I even had a statue of him I used to carry around and swore I'd marry him when I grew up......don't even like whisky (I know, a Scot who doesn't like a drop of the hard stuff!!) Apart from the usual David Cassidy and Derek Longmuir from The Bay City Rollers my big crush was strangely enough Ken Kercheval (Cliff Barnes in Dallas) Ughhhhh!! Christine
