Brass, starring Timothy West. Dead funny it was. I wonder why some programmes are repeated more than others?
What would you like to see again?
-
Boys From the Black Stuff.
Best programme of the 1980's by miles.

How ! With Fred Dineage, Jack Hargreaves etc. I always found it very educational even after I had left school

I'd vote for that one Bob, superb telly.
Would also love to see The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Elizabeth R shown again. And The Prisoner, of course!

Anybody else remember a rather weird kids program called CAB (i think??) ... seem to rememember it was set in some kind of shop but there was always weird stuff going on ... my memory isnt what it was!!!
-
Early Doors. Brilliant comedy
-
Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes
-
Smileys people
-
Four Feather Falls and Fireball xl5.Showing my age now
-
Secret Army
You could say it was a serious version of Allo Allo, but this preceded the comedy by a decade!
-
Few examples of cartoon epics from my youth: ulysses 31, battle of the planets, mysterious cities of gold and dogtanian and the three muskerhounds - epics as a kid (probably really naff in all fairness! More serious kinda grown up stiff, airwolf, blue thunder, streethawk and the equalizer!
-
Double Deckers, I doubt it will ever be shown again there's some sort block on it being on TV again. Melvyn Hayes wrote it,Brinsley Ford ( Aswad ) and Peter Firth were all in it
-
Four Feather Falls and Fireball xl5.Showing my age now
Mine too ... liked both of them !
-
I bet there's hardly anyone remembers an ancient black and white version of Robinson Crusoe. I think it was an overseas series that had been dubbed. The remarkable thing about it was the most amazingly haunting theme tune I've ever heard. I live in hope that I'll hear it again before I pop my clogs. It must date from the 60's or even earlier. It was repeated a few times on BBC when I was a boy but I've not seen sight nor sound of it for decades now. Anyone else remember ever seeing it?
Smiley's People is a good choice too Gloster.

University of YouTube has a raft of nostalgia TV for the emotionally retro.
David Hoffman in 1964 B+W as Robinson Crusoe, Bob G.
Here is the opening part of episode 1, the shipwreck;
Robinson Crusoe Episode 1 Part 1of 3 inc intro Original 1964 - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXhD1n5T8Yk)
Looks like all the others are there on Richie Wilbey's YT video channel.
Sometimes this old retro stuff looks naff when you see it again. A bit like playing music you loved way back when, but have not played for years.
Ps. Four Feather Falls is on YT too, for the memories.

The flashing blade, fantastic.

Loved Robinson Crusoe too BobG, the music was great, as was Stranger on the Shore.

I remember Robinson Crusoe as well, not forgetting the "white horses" dumbed TV programme that use to run every summer school holidays in the 60's. TV at its 60's best!

Smileys people
Smiley's People was on BBC 4 earlier this year.
-
Anyone remember the 4 main characters and who played them?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAIVQ4gpUzc

Trevor Bannister, Bryan Pringles, Tim Wylton and Graham Haberfield.

Correct Glosterred, and their character names?

Winston Platt, Cheese and egg, heavy breathing and Eric

When the boat comes in. Always fancied that Susan Jameson, something about her.

GBH with Robert Lindsay was a great series as far as I recall. Don't think it was ever repeated.
Common as muck and Band of Gold would also be good to see again. I was a boy when all three were on so only saw bits of them and I'd like to watch them again from an adult perspective.

Oh No...it's Selwyn Frogget !!

GBH with Robert Lindsay was a great series as far as I recall. Don't think it was ever repeated.
I watched it when it was on, and I sort of enjoyed it but it's one drama I don't think I'll ever be able to watch again. It was that tough on the nerves.
-
We need a third season of Utopia.
-
What was that drama series called about a newly wedded young girl whose psychopathic groom chopped off her head in order to preserve her image in her wedding Vail, and then buried it in the garden, and digging it up to view it a year later on the anniversary of the wedding?
Ah that was it, Brideshead revisited.
-
Albie!!! Tha's it!!! Bloody hell. Never thought I'd hear that tune again. Niow I'm gonna have to sit down to watch the thing - and I've got shed loads to do.
Glyn! Where on earth did you get dvds and an album from?! I thought I must be the only person left alive who remembered that series!
And didn't White Horses' have a good tune too? Now I'm going to have to go google that as well....
BB: stop it man!! My sides are bloody hurting!
BobG
-
You'll probably get them all from amazon Bob
-

A local library (I think Donny has the soundtrack and Rotherham the DVDs) has them so I borrowed them and made my own copies. ;)
-
Thanks Filo. :)
I just been browsing IMDB. I should be bloody working....
This thread prompted me to search out that White Horses thing too. I take back what I said about its theme tune. Nasty sacharin thing. But I was intrigued by a few references to the star - Helga Anders. I vaguely remember a very pretty girl. She probably was. But she came to a very nasty end I've just read. Sad.

Last week I watched the entire second series of Catweazle , quite sad but I was entertained!!

Oh No...it's Selwyn Frogget !!
lol, Don't open that cupboard Selwyn, things fall out.

Alias Smith and Jones and High Chaperal
-
Beverly Hillbillies, the scene where the grandad put granny in the lift (he had never seen a lift before) and the doors shut and when they opened again a gorgeous woman walked out was classic.
-
Mary, Mungo and Midge...
Fingerbobs...
Mr Benn..
Bod...
The Clangers (original)...
Flash Gordon - the really early one..
Golden Shot
Duchess of Duke Street
The Goodies
-
Antiques Roadshow, re-titled Tomorrow's World, in Barnsley.

Golden Shot
I've thought that surely, with internet/interactive technology they could revive this so that contestants can aim the crossbow live from their own home..?
-
Land of the giants
The A team
-
the original Lost in Space
-
Man in a suitcase, starring Richard Bradford. Probably corny as hell now,but I used to love it back in the day !
-
I quite fancy seeing Hill Street Blues again tbh. Be careful out there!

The Untouchables

The Rocket Man. Every Christmas across the first week of the holidays on BBC2 in the morning.
Talking of which, there was always a run of Laurel & Hardy or Harold Lloyd on BBC2 in the mornings on school holidays. They should definitely re-run those

Laurel & Hardy....Towed in a Hole......nuff said !

The flashing blade, fantastic.
Was just going to say The flashing blade.. Loved that theme tune along with Robinson Crusoe and White Horses.. Not forgetting Follyfoot either.

I wanted to be Tiger.. Lol
-
I sat pondering, then it came to me quite quickly. As a child the only programmes I would never miss seeing, were Wagon Train and Rawhide. Guess that's why I now work for a "Cowboy Outfit".
-
The Beiderbecke tapes and Beiderbecke affair if for nothing else the music was good.

I am quite sure that many folks will have shot their bolt using the internet and interactive technology!

Rawhide...a program for real men, almost as good as Bonanza;
Frankie Laine - Rawhide (Original 1958 Single Version) - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KPplYp7K7M)
"Dont try to understand em, just rope and roll and brand em". Philosophy as well!
You can't beat the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly for memorable music though;
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Theme • Ennio Morricone - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1PfrmCGFnk)
Great highlights clip...it's all in the eyes.
I love the idea of a fella who takes his revolver into the tub with him, hidden beneath the suds.
Just in case, like!

Monkey - strange but good
Daktari
Gargoyles
Banana Splits

We must both be of an age Bob, I'm sure that the Robinson Crusoe version you are on about was a French programme with an English soundtrack dubbed in.

Remember Fanny Craddock's cookery programme? Along with her seemingly inebriated husband Johnny they were quite unintentionally humourous for a couple of middle class snobs.
" I hope your doe-nuts turn out like fanny's". Johnny Craddock.

Please sir!

How about Eldorado ( think it was based in Barnsley !! )
-
The Goodies!

Have a flick through the Network DVD website catalogue - http://networkonair.com/shop/2-all-products?&orderby=available_date&orderway=desc (http://networkonair.com). There is some magical stuff on there that they have released over the years

... but do you like Chaps ?

Anybody remember Zokko ? I seem to recall it was a Pinball Machine that introduced the Programme all the way through.
The Ball (I think) used to go round the Pinball Machine and when the ball dropped in a hole Zokko would say "Zokko Score 10 - Serial" The Serial was always SKEYN I seem to remember !
I have drunk almost a Bottle of Red I should add
... and speaking of Red what about "Red Rackhams Treasure" no idea what that was but I am going to Google it to find out
EDIT : Bloody Tin Tin from 1944 ... even I am not that old !

I remember Zokko and the pinball machine, but I always associate Marine Boy with it!
Red Rackham's Treasure is a Tintin book...

Marine Boy...i'd forgotten about him and his Oxy Gum
I always thought there was something a bit sinister about Wurzel Gummidge.....

I've not read them all but did anyone else ever get into watching Ripping Yarns?

Got them all on DVD!
Half Man Half Biscuit's third album is called McIntyre, Treadmore and Davitt. I heard the title about a month before the album came out and I recognised the names but couldn't place them...it was when I saw the album cover that I realised that it was because there was a Ripping Yarns connection..!

Ripping Yarns is brilliant.
