Writer Pam Ayres looks back at classic archive TV moments from her past.

Celebrities choose the TV moments that have shaped their lives. Writer Pam Ayres joins Brian Conley to look back at classic archive TV moments from her past.

Pam's younger years contained a wealth of great telly, but what does the combination of her love of a dancing, juggling dog, not one but two of our favourite boys in blue and one of the scariest series ever broadcast on British TV tell us about her? And how did a fast-paced comic singer influence her future career?
