During the first years that we lived in Penpons, there were, perhaps, no more than two televisions in the whole street. The parents of Kim E, a popular little boy, had one of them. Thus, every evening at five o’clock, many children gathered in Mr and Mrs E’s little sitting room to watch the children’s programmes. Often, there were, perhaps, twenty children in the little room. We watched programmes like The Lone Ranger and Crackerjack. As I remember, after the children’s programmes had finished, often there was a short story by O. Henry. After that, we had to go home!
