    Does anyone remember the spoof about Italians growing spaghetti? It was on Blue Peter or John Craven’s newsround on 1 April back
    in the day.

    Reading some of these comments makes me realise how young I must have lost trust in other people!  :#   Wouldn't believe anything unless I could see it myself! :D

    It was in the 70s I saw it. So maybe a repeat. I’ll see if there’s a clip on YouTube. It took me years to convince my sister it wasn’t true! How innocent we were 😂

    You're right Wibbles, it must have been rerun in the 70s because I wasn't around to watch it in 1957. Anyway here's the  clip for anyone who's not seen it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8scpGwbvxvI

    That's crazy, I've not seen it until now. I'm sat here watching it thinking, what, spaghetti is made from flour lol

    I think we were more willing to believe things we saw then. We had no sense that film could be doctored or faked. Now we know every image is. It does still make me smile 😃
