Great TV programmes that should be repeated......

[Bentley Bullet]

 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?

[BobG]

Boys From the Black Stuff.

Best programme of the 1980's by miles.

[Draytonian III]

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

[The Red Baron]

Boys From the Black Stuff.

Best programme of the 1980's by miles.

BobG

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!!!

[tommy toes]

Early Doors. Brilliant comedy

[Nudga]

Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes

[glosterred]

Smileys people

[drfc1951]

Four Feather Falls and Fireball xl5.Showing my age now

[IDM]

Secret Army

You could say it was a serious version of Allo Allo, but this preceded the comedy by a decade!

[Al4475]

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!

[Draytonian III]

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

[Donnywolf]

Four Feather Falls and Fireball xl5.Showing my age now

Mine too ... liked both of them !

[BobG]

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

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.

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!

Wasn't one called cheese n' pickle. Brian Pringle I think.

[glosterred]

Winston Platt, Cheese and egg, heavy breathing and Eric
