[quote="John Donnelly"]Hi LP,

if you called it the Ponderosa, you should be able to get an idea of the date with the date when the TV series started.

John, I did try that. Bonanza was first aired in 1959 and ran until '72 but I couldn't find the release date for the U.K. audiences.

For the younsters among us, when the programme started, the theme tune would be playing and a map of Virginia appeared on the screen showing the location of the Ponderosa ranch. All of a sudden the centre of the map burst into flames.

Still sticking with Jim's 60's

As I mentioned, never saw many cars in town in the 50's as I walked down to St. John's, and rarely anything other than black ones. I remember being very surprised seeing my first 'coloured' one, late 50's.
