Apparently, it's 30 years today since TG appeared on our screens (although some say it was 1977  .) However, never one to miss an opportunity for some nostalgia here's the earliest Youtube I can find from circa 1988. Those were the days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMUy1EmUtlMAnd of course, Jeremy joined in 1989.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZV024ls9Z0&feature=relatedIf anyone can find an earlier one feel free. Post your favourites and your memories of Old TG, and new.  |

Already 30th years? Well happy birthday TG. Should this not be in the birthday thread also?

I thought it might get a bit lost up there as people don't always see the birthdays thread. |

Happy Birthday TG. I remeber the old days - Angela Rippon, Noel Edmonds, William Woollard Didn't have quite the same appeal as now but I did watch it way back then |

It was a long time ago.  Many moons in fact and I've always had an eclectic taste in pretty much everything. Strange thing was I never fancied Jezza - but who can blame me back then. ;D |

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Viwq9x9OkgMClip from 1999, with James no less. Which makes it the oldest footage I have ever seen from him. He looks and sounds a lot posher than he does now. (I guess that happens when you hang around Clarkson and Hammond long enough.) ;D

LOL. What is he wearing. Do you think his mum made it for him for Christmas. Rather endearing really. |

I spose I'd better come out of the closet and admit that when I watched this report, back in 1991, I thought he looked... Gorgeous! It's funny how fashions change |
