 Wacky Races 1969 
11 madcap drivers racing there socks off, knowing that car 00 (Dick Dastardly and Mutley) had no chance of stopping them from winning the race. Brilliant. The idea for the cartoon was supposedly derived from the film "The Great Race".
 Watch with Mother 1950 
Always started at 3.45pm, 1950-80 then became See-Saw.
We are the Champions 197? 
Ron Pickering
Whack-o 1956
 Whodunnit? 1973
A brilliant program where the host (Jon Pertwee) would have a 15 min sketch acted out with a murder at the end . A panel of sleuths, including Liza Goddard and Patrick Mower would ask the actors questions to discern whodunnit.
 
Why Don't You? 1975 
Or more accurately "Why don't you just switch off the television set and go and do something less boring instead?". This is the longest TV title ever. Though hoe would you be able to watch the programme if you failed to take notice of the title? A bit of a what came first? The chicken or the egg syndrome.
Wicker's World 1959 
Willo the Wisp 1980
Kenneth Williams
Winsome Witch 19??
(The) Wombles 1973
Bernard Cribbins provides narration to several furry creatures named after areas on a map. The boss, Great Uncle Bulgaria, leads Orinoco and others to tidy up Wimbledon Common. The first sign of a green education for children. Passing humans were only ever seen as large shoes on the end of walking legs.
Wonderful World of Disney 1972
Wonder Woman 1978
Lynda Carter Miss world 1973
(The) Woodentops 1955
Consisted of a family of Blockheads along with Spotty dog and Buttercup the cow. This also was part of the Watch with Mother slot.
 (The) Worker 1965
About a unemployed worker (Charlie Drake) going to the Labour Exchange for a job from Mr Pugh.
 (The) World of Sport 1965
Dickie Davis was the main presenter in this saturday afternoon sports show. With a wicked streak of grey hair he would present sports such as horse racing, football action, rugby, and always from 4pm to 5pm, wrestling with names such as Catweasle, Mick McManus, Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and a real treat was every so often it was "Tag Team Time". A nostalgic classic.
