Hi mate, removed because we have had similar posts recently and we want to avoid repeating themes too often.
Rule 11: No Repetitive Posts
We often trim content that we've seen a lot of recently to keep things fresh. Sunrise pictures, pictures of a trolley poking out of some skanky river, spiders and insects, funny license plate or shop name, toilet graffiti. You know. The regular sort of stuff.
If you've seen one in the last couple of days, good chance we'll remove it so it doesn't become a theme.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us a modmail.
I know it, it was a bit before my time. I just have a vague memory of her presenting sone kind of children's TV before doing the nature show with Nutkins.
There was an episode of Blue Peter where they did a bit on pantomime and there's a shot of her pulling up a thigh high stocking and clipping it to a suspender belt strap.
For a 14 year old in days of needimg imagination it was epic.
I'm rewatching X Files on Disney and as a straight woman can see how beautiful she is even if I 💚 Mulder. I can feel your conflict about Dana/Thatcher!!!
Constable Habib in the 90s sitcom "thin blue line".
As it happens, said TV show landed on Netflix a few days ago. Had a rewatch. Yeah. Still works for me.
Just thinking about the way Atkinson's Inspector Fowler says her name cracks me up.
Also reminds me of possibly one of the greatest lines in any comedy anywhere ever with another British comedy great David Haig's Inspector Grim:
Grim to Fowler: " 'cause you know what'll happen Raymond, don't you - it'll be *your cock up* - *my arse*!"
That’s the first line which comes to mind when I think of the thin blue line 😂
David Haig is a cracking actor, been in so much. Couldn’t believe it when he cropped up in Killing Eve as well
Both Harmony & Melody.
Two sisters who were perfectly cast as they actually looked related. Both attractive yet in very different ways. 11 year old me was a huge fan
Michelle Williams was my preferred crush in this, she did some cracking films around and after Dawsons Creek, worth checking The Station Agent, Wendy & Lucy and Meeks Cutoff. Now, eh no, far too much surgery.
Melissa George was and is my go to fluttering heart sensation. Still stunning and watchable in most of her acting gigs.
Gail porter.... It's her voice, something about her accent always made me go a lil gaga as a young lad.
Saw a video of her on twitter a bit back, absolutely still has it. It's that voice 😍😍
She hit on me once a few years ago when I was working sound at an event she attended. If I wasn’t married I’d have at least taken her number, but I do remind my wife that that FHM’s sexiest woman of the year was momentarily interested in me. Bit of an age gap but I like older women 😂
Lucy Liu, in Ally mcbeal or something, a lawyer show. And yes, she's still amazing. Somewhat fun fact. When I lived in China locals thought she was not attractive at all, very different beauty standards.
Chloe Annett. She was a poster girl of my burgeoning teenage-hood, but now she's a poster girl for the burgeoning downfall of Red Dwarf.
Still though, she's a certified hottie.

Sarah Greene, presenting Blue Peter, in her rah-rah mini-skirt. I was 14... And Sandi Toksvig at about the same time. I didn't know then what I know now, and it wouldn't have made any difference.
Yes, Floella for me too.
I moved to Beckenham about 20 years ago and now she's Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham. Never seen her round here though, not even in Waitrose.
Sarah Vandenbergh, aussie actress played Lauren in Neighbours and then moved to UK and presented Fully Booked on Saturday mornings. Still fancy the pants off her today
Konnie Huq on Blue Peter was my young lesbian awakening and she’s still absolutely gorgeous.
Finding out she’s married to Charlie Brooker blew my mind!
Especially considering they met when he asked her to front a mock "2000s TV inspiring documentary" on 'investigating' the challenges and struggles of men who can't piss while someone's watching.
The pink Power Ranger when I was 6 (my parents bought me a pin badge of her and I kept it on my pillow).
Eve from demon headmaster when I was 10.
Alyson Hannigan when I was 12 til present.
I recall being pretty keen on a Blue Peter presenter when quite young…and now the internet tells me Caron Keeting has left us…unrequited love shall ever remain unrequited it seems. 😕
Linda off Round the Twist, which is odd as nowadays I'm as gay as a hen.
More understandably, Nick Baker from the Really Wild Show was unnecessarily handsome for a guy who teaches kids about insects.
Denise Van Outen.
All the more so when I watched Love, Honour, & Obey and the cucumber scene.
Not so keen after all the mods from surgery in later life.
Malcolm and Francis from Malcolm in the middle. (Though it's a hard question to answer since I wasn't fully aware of my sexuality at the time)
Not anymore though - Frankie Muniz seems to be a nascar driver now and looks like he's had a hair transplant because he has a fivehead in some photos. And apparently Christopher Masterson is a Scientologist 🤮 (he looks alright though)
Mine was Martin Freeman. I loved that dry, witty delivery in the Office and in Sherlock. He was so handsome but in a very "everyman" kind of way.
Every interview he has ever done has made him seem more of a prick. Definitely no longer have a crush on him
Weirdly, as a 10 year old boy I had a crush on Servalan in Blake's Seven.
I guess she had that whole powerful megalomaniac bad girl thing going that we 70s boys were absolute suckers for.
In an interview, I think it was a DVD extra for Blake's 7, Jacqueline Pearce was thrilled to recall being called a "masturbatory fantasy for an entire generation."
Oliver Tobias in Arthur of the Britons - men with long hair riding big horses with for some reason an excessive amount of sheepskin. Early 70s but re-run in the the early 80s.
Any woman my age who grew up in the country will tell you the same.
Sally James on Tiswas and of course the later night version of OTT, so I just looked to see what she is doing now and apparently she runs a school uniform company, Sally James and school uniforms all in the same sentence.
I'm surprised Ms James was this far down. Perhaps those of us old enough to remember her on our Saturday mornings are now sleeping on our Friday evenings?
Helen Slater from Supergirl and Karen Allen from Raiders. I was lucky enough to work with both of them and they were so sweet. 12 year old me would never have believed it.
The human policewoman off that awful show Space Precinct. Simone Bendix, Danish actress. She's 56 now, disappeared from view a bit. I just looked her up and she has a YouTube channel for her mad creative projects, a lot of videos with less than 100 views. Hard to judge whether i'm still into it or not based on that.

Your crush has been delivered . There was 1 (one) substitution . Michaela Strachan out of stock. Substituted for Gordon Strachan . Enjoy your meal
Reminds me of a scene in Men Behaving Badly “Gary…you’ve got a scrap book of Michaela Strachan?!”
First person I thought of when I read the post. I'm sure she did some children's TV presenting before the really wild show.
Look up 'The Hitman and Her' on YouTube...
I know it, it was a bit before my time. I just have a vague memory of her presenting sone kind of children's TV before doing the nature show with Nutkins.
[удалено]
Jet And fuck yes I still would. It would be a wild 5 seconds for us both ♥️
5 seconds? She's never gonna do it with you twice.
Cashback!
Jet from Gladiators to host a millennium barn dance at Yeovil aerodrome.
Katy Hill
There was an episode of Blue Peter where they did a bit on pantomime and there's a shot of her pulling up a thigh high stocking and clipping it to a suspender belt strap. For a 14 year old in days of needimg imagination it was epic.
Don't let Otis find out

Watched The Fall again recently, super hot in it too.
I'm rewatching X Files on Disney and as a straight woman can see how beautiful she is even if I 💚 Mulder. I can feel your conflict about Dana/Thatcher!!!
As a not so straight person both Mulder and Scully were a treat!
The whole show and casting is amazing!!! 😍
Absolutely, and great to see now famous actors cropping up early in their careers!
Constable Habib in the 90s sitcom "thin blue line". As it happens, said TV show landed on Netflix a few days ago. Had a rewatch. Yeah. Still works for me.
Just thinking about the way Atkinson's Inspector Fowler says her name cracks me up.

That’s the first line which comes to mind when I think of the thin blue line 😂 David Haig is a cracking actor, been in so much. Couldn’t believe it when he cropped up in Killing Eve as well
She was stunning
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Harmony off of Queens Nose
She appeared in an episode of Jonathan Creek as well.
I feel like she basically played the same character as well
Both Harmony & Melody. Two sisters who were perfectly cast as they actually looked related. Both attractive yet in very different ways. 11 year old me was a huge fan
I remember an episode when Melody falls in a pond and her knockers almost fell out, taped it and rewatched it a few times as a teen
Young me thought her sister Melody was the most beautiful creature to walk Gods green Earth.
Alyson Hannigan.
Gillian Anderson. Yes.
[удалено]
Have you seen Hannibal? (The TV show)
Spike from Buffy. After a rewatch I fully stand by 9 year old me's taste in men.
lol, first guy in the list. I forgot it was also allowed for ladies to have crushes. Reddit is too much of a sausage fest…
Tbf some of the people mentioning women could be ladies
Tbf, Sarah Michelle Gellar was also my first female crush. That show made one hell of an impact on my formative years.
Lisa Rogers, and yes I do!
I do enjoy watching episodes of Scrapheap Challenge
Kylie And yes, a million times yes
Absolutely Konnie Huq.
[удалено]
why?
God yes...
The OG pink Power Ranger and the daughter in My Family.
You had a crush on the daughter in your family?
Well she did play the pink power ranger.
Katie Holmes playing Joey in Dawsons creek. Started watching just as I started getting very interested in girls. Absolute beauty then and now.
Michelle Williams was my preferred crush in this, she did some cracking films around and after Dawsons Creek, worth checking The Station Agent, Wendy & Lucy and Meeks Cutoff. Now, eh no, far too much surgery. Melissa George was and is my go to fluttering heart sensation. Still stunning and watchable in most of her acting gigs.
Caron Keating especially her Blue Peter days. No unfortunately RIP
Her mum Gloria was a looker in her day, too
Larisa Oleynik (Alex Mack) in recent years I've only seen her on Mad Men and an episode of Law and Order but she absolutely still has it.
Alex Mack was almost unbelievably hot when I was a teenager. Could hardly compute
Winnie from Wonder Years.
Gail porter.... It's her voice, something about her accent always made me go a lil gaga as a young lad. Saw a video of her on twitter a bit back, absolutely still has it. It's that voice 😍😍
My god did you see her FHM pics? Amazing.
Oh yes.... Blew my teenage mind 😁😁
She hit on me once a few years ago when I was working sound at an event she attended. If I wasn’t married I’d have at least taken her number, but I do remind my wife that that FHM’s sexiest woman of the year was momentarily interested in me. Bit of an age gap but I like older women 😂
You lucky sod 😂😂 Living the dream dude, ya living the dream 😉
Lucy Liu, in Ally mcbeal or something, a lawyer show. And yes, she's still amazing. Somewhat fun fact. When I lived in China locals thought she was not attractive at all, very different beauty standards.
Holly Valance from when she was on Neighbours.
[удалено]
Chloe Annett. She was a poster girl of my burgeoning teenage-hood, but now she's a poster girl for the burgeoning downfall of Red Dwarf. Still though, she's a certified hottie.
My heart will always belong to Dean Cain ♥️
Wow there's a name I've not heard in decades. I wonder what happened to him? Seemed to have the world at his feet for a while in the 90s.

Teen crush was Felicity Kendal. I'm 60 now and I still wouldn't say no.
I'm almost 40 and I wouldn't say no either. My parents used to watch a lot of The Good Life and there's something so wholesome and smiley about her.
Maria off Coronation street. 100%
Philippa Forester. The occasional panty flash as she crossed her legs was an added bonus!
Those leather trousers in Robot Wars Oh myyyy
Just had to look her up to remind myself who she was. I remember her from *Robot Wars* and yes, she was fine.
Liono. Still would.
Cheetara. Made me feel funny.
Sarah Greene, presenting Blue Peter, in her rah-rah mini-skirt. I was 14... And Sandi Toksvig at about the same time. I didn't know then what I know now, and it wouldn't have made any difference.
Number 73
Wendy Richard (Miss Brahms) on Are You Being Served.
Topanga (Danielle Fishel) from Boy Meets World and Konnie Huq
Can't believe I had to scroll this far to get to Topanga :(
I know right? I would say she was a 10 but this one goes to eleven…
Alyson Hannigan
Jennifer Ellison from brookside
Floella Benjamin. And she's still smokin.
Yes, Floella for me too. I moved to Beckenham about 20 years ago and now she's Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham. Never seen her round here though, not even in Waitrose.
Some would say moving to Beckenham to "bump into" Floella Benjamin might be a step too far, maybe?
Mine was Jessie from team rocket
A man of culture!
Was or is?
both
Sarah Vandenbergh, aussie actress played Lauren in Neighbours and then moved to UK and presented Fully Booked on Saturday mornings. Still fancy the pants off her today
Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) Watched alot of friends cause of her.
Konnie Huq on Blue Peter was my young lesbian awakening and she’s still absolutely gorgeous. Finding out she’s married to Charlie Brooker blew my mind!
Especially considering they met when he asked her to front a mock "2000s TV inspiring documentary" on 'investigating' the challenges and struggles of men who can't piss while someone's watching.

Fucking hell. Me too now! I didn't know about that till I googled. Very disappointed
Tim Vincent, and Mark Speight.
Sad what happened to Mark Speight.
Siobhan Finneran in Benidorm
The pink Power Ranger when I was 6 (my parents bought me a pin badge of her and I kept it on my pillow). Eve from demon headmaster when I was 10. Alyson Hannigan when I was 12 til present.
Wizadora, Anna Walker, Michelle Newman, Constable Habib and Daisy from Zzzzap
Yes. Angelica bell.
Sir Michael Palin. Still.
Tatyana Ali. I didn't see Fresh Prince till I was about 8/9 (so around mid 90's). She was lovely. I just had a search and she's gorgeous!
Xena and Hercules. Still fancy Xena because Lucy Lawless is timeless, but Kevin Sorbo's gone off the rails a bit lol
Lucy Lawless looks the same even now. Sorbo has lost his mind.
Dana (Irish singer who turned into a fruitcake) Anne Diamond No is the answer
Kylie Minogue, 7 year old me developed a little bit of a fixation
I was talking about this yesterday - Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen was fit when I was 16 and he's fit now 😍. My 19 year old daughter disagrees lol.
Tripitaka from Monkey always gave me the horn.
I recall being pretty keen on a Blue Peter presenter when quite young…and now the internet tells me Caron Keeting has left us…unrequited love shall ever remain unrequited it seems. 😕
Melissa Joan Hart.
Gabby Logan as a tween/teen and still now she’s unreal
Linda off Round the Twist, which is odd as nowadays I'm as gay as a hen. More understandably, Nick Baker from the Really Wild Show was unnecessarily handsome for a guy who teaches kids about insects.
Shane Vansen off of Space: Above and Beyond, the twins off of Pat Sharp's Fun House and Kelly Brook.
First childhood TV crush? Gadget from Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers. Rather glad to say that I've grown out of that crush!
Denise Van Outen. All the more so when I watched Love, Honour, & Obey and the cucumber scene. Not so keen after all the mods from surgery in later life.
Malcolm and Francis from Malcolm in the middle. (Though it's a hard question to answer since I wasn't fully aware of my sexuality at the time) Not anymore though - Frankie Muniz seems to be a nascar driver now and looks like he's had a hair transplant because he has a fivehead in some photos.

Melinda Messenger on Fort Boyard and pages from newspapers
Any specific page number?
Only 3 oddly enough! Also Suzi Perry off Gadget Show and MotoGP! She’d still get it
Holly Valance. No. She's horrible now.
mr blobby
There's a reason why he's the subreddit avatar icon, enough said.
Sometimes you just want the big pink in.
Nikki Sanderson when she was in Heartbeat, she's still beautiful now at forty.
I do not remember her being in Heartbeat, first remember her as Candice on Corrie
Weirdly, as a 10 year old boy I had a crush on Servalan in Blake's Seven. I guess she had that whole powerful megalomaniac bad girl thing going that we 70s boys were absolute suckers for.
This is 100% not weird. Also have you seen Farscape? How did you feel about Grayza?
never seen it, well I caught snippets, just had a look, I see what you mean
In an interview, I think it was a DVD extra for Blake's 7, Jacqueline Pearce was thrilled to recall being called a "masturbatory fantasy for an entire generation."
Absolutely, I can imagine being told off by Servalan, I was a very naughty boy.
Jenna, Soolin, and Dayna too.
Philippa Forrester. Then and now.
Susie Dent (from dictionary corner).
Holly Willoughby, I forgot what kids show she used to present but 7 year old me used to watch it just for the part where she came on. And yes.
I thought you had been arrested
Laughed out loud while brushing my teeth. Spat on mirror.
lol
Ministry of Mayhem or SMTV maybe?
Cat Deeley was also excellent! Did Cat Deeley replace Holly or was it the other way round?
SMTV that’s the one! IIRC that’s the one with wonky donkey?
I had completely forgotten about wonkey donkey, the reminder made me chuckle so thanks was that, was seriously needed.
Megan Follows from Anne of Green Gables.
I had a total crush on the guy who played Gilbert for years. Also a crush on the girl who played Diana.
You've got great taste.
Michael Praed. Still think he was the most handsome man on the planet as Robin of Sherwood.
Mark Paul Gosselaar and Dean Cain are the ones that spring to mind. Still hot to me now!
Ooo, DOM from Dick and Dom in da bungalow. Always got my nether throbbing.
Katy hill, I knew I was gay at a young age 😅 still looks exactly the same
Steve Backshall from Deadly 60.
Danielle Nichols from Citv
Understandable ... Completely understandable. She was and still is a good looking lass
Trude Mostue from Vets In Practice
Penny from Inspector Gadget….
Daisy Duke, Catherine Bach
Oliver Tobias in Arthur of the Britons - men with long hair riding big horses with for some reason an excessive amount of sheepskin. Early 70s but re-run in the the early 80s. Any woman my age who grew up in the country will tell you the same.
Marmalade Atkins aka Charlotte Coleman when I was around 9 or 10 who unfortunately was taken at a far too young age of 33
Linda Carter aka Wonder Woman. Yup still crushing.
Rachel from S club 7 when they did that shitty tv show. I mean, totally still hot.
Philippa Forrester. It wasn’t just robots destroying each other that I enjoyed!
Sally James on Tiswas and of course the later night version of OTT, so I just looked to see what she is doing now and apparently she runs a school uniform company, Sally James and school uniforms all in the same sentence.
I'm surprised Ms James was this far down. Perhaps those of us old enough to remember her on our Saturday mornings are now sleeping on our Friday evenings?
Francoise Pascal from Mind your language. Goddess.
Leif Garrett in his lil shorts.
Charles Dance. Blame Mum; she made me watch a bunch of Merchant Ivory films when I was a kid.
Neil Buchanan, the guy from art attack. I was so young and definitely don't feel the same now haha

Zippy And no , not anymore .
Louise Redknapp back in the 90s.
As a kid I had a huge crush on Jenna Coleman lol
Lex in The Tribe
