Retro DadThree channels, one chunky wooden telly and Saturday mornings in my pyjamas. Remembering the custard pies, cartoons and glorious chaos that made Tiswas an unforgettable part of growing up.

THE DAD BEHIND THE REWIND
I’m Stuart. Dad, graphic designer and vintage 1973.
Retro Dad is a place to talk about the things that have changed in my lifetime. The music, the games, the everyday rituals — and all the things we never imagined we’d carry around in our pockets.
Not everything was better back then. But there’s plenty worth remembering.
