Jason Mohammad takes your calls on older drivers, seasonal work and TV nostalgia

What do you make of a new UK Government proposal to test the eyesight of older drivers? Which summer holiday jobs did you do? And what are your favourite childhood TV memories?

How safe are older drivers? The UK Government is to propose eye tests for over 70s when they renew their driving licence.
Motorist could be banned from driving if they fail the compulsory test. Does this make sense to you? Or are the over 70s being unfairly targeted?

There鈥檚 been a slump in the number of summer jobs on offer to young people. Teenagers and students are no longer in demand for serving ice creams and working tills during the tourist season.
A rise in employer National Insurance contributions has been blamed for the lack of opportunities. Which summer holiday jobs did you do? And how important were they for your personal development?

And pioneering Blue Peter editor Biddy Baxter, and actor Ray Brooks 鈥� the narrator of the classic children鈥檚 show Mr Ben - have both passed away.
Baxter was editor of Blue Peter for more than 20 years and introduced the iconic Blue Peter badge.
And Brooks was also one of few actors to appear in both Coronation Street and EastEnders.
What are your favourite memories of television from your childhood?
