It ran from 1969-1982. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gk3g2w7jno ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Post Edited (Thu 10 Jul 22:06) Reply |

| 3. Author: veteraneastender Date: Thu 10th Jul 2025. 21:03 RIP I mind Glen Michael’s TV show back in the ‘60’s - long before 1996. The only Paladin I remember was Richard Boone (great actor) in “Have Gun Will Travel” TV series which had a popular theme song. Post Edited (Thu 10 Jul 21:10) Reply |

He then went down the high street in a horse-drawn carriage and then Glen went doon the Glen. Saw him a few times when we played at Somerset supporting his beloved Ayr United. Glen, Rusty and Paladin made Sunday afternoons great. RIP Post Edited (Thu 10 Jul 21:53) Reply |

It used to keep me quiet when we went out to see my gran and grandad each week and I`m sure it was well passed 1982. I think I can remember being quite sad when it stopped even though I was well passed watching it at that time. Not a bad way to spend your life, making so many kids so happy for as long as that. RIP Glen. Reply |
