while I was with Jenny yesterday she said there was a programme that used to be on where the granny rode round on her bike to different places. I dont know it Jenny couldn't remember its name and my hubby hasn't got a clue. Anyone got any ideas?

Can you narrow the field a bit? Was it a comedy programme or a factual one. Aileen xxx

The brain is ticking over. Slowly. Billy Connelly, Scottish granny. Will phone my family tomorrow and give them a headache, I do like to share things. Something is stirring in the grey matter but I am damned if I can remember. Thank you very much I'll be tossing and turning all night now trying to remember! Aileen xx

I just typed Supergran into the search box and it showed several sites, one had a pic of Supegran on her bike in Tynemouth, it said Billy Connolly sang the theme song. Remember it vaguely. Liz

I think it is Supergran. I used to love that programme. I remember it used to be on, on a Saturday afternoon, about 4o'clock. This was in the late 80's, possibly early 90's. Gem:)))
