Seeing things in 3D with a Bear

In a week where things happened that I genuinely wasn't expecting - almost a hell freezes over moment - invoking past memories thoughts did go back to the things you'd you'd play with when it wasn't too sunny and you'd had your fill of television in its poster paint NTSC form.

This was really the sort of thing I'd get out, a bit less faff than a slide projector - back then I bought colour slides of places I'd visited - and actually I do own this one.

It's a 3D viewer with images stored, seven stereo pairs per disc and just in time for some classic 70's tv so this was Paddington themed and came with three reels with that marmalade loving bears adventures.

There were similar things available such as this three disc set of The Wombles - sadly with no Womble music - with the discs in the book telling the stories like trying to repair a discarded television which is what I tried to do aged ten. I'm still alive!

Then I think all of us of a certain bone age remember 101 Dalmations and there was three reel highlights set and recently I picked up a reprint from 1978 of the 1966 classic BatMan series which I recall watching intently.
