Yes - my vague memories of that were 'how the hell did they get away with that' Would cause riots now.

Mind your language was another classic

Agree with most of these, but not having Auf Wiedersehen. It should have stopped after series 2, but those two series are still classics.

Totally showing my age but I'd love to see the Telly Goons again. However, the 'forward thinking' BBC destroyed the recordings to make space for other stuff.

Bergerac and Lovejoy but with the same actors as much as possible. Top Sunday night tv at its best.

Our friends in the North.

The Monocled Mutineer.


Monocled Mutineer was repeated on Yesterday or Drama about 3 years ago. I think British drama peaked around that time (Paul McGann certainly did) It still looks fantastic and the soundtrack is great, one of my favourite TV themes.

Shoestring! Never seen that repeated since it was first shown. With that, Bergerac and Monocled Mutineer, George Fenton was killing it with TV theme tunes in the 80's.

But I’m sure I read somewhere that it had been accidentally erased from
The BBC archives.

Crown Court.
We’d love that on here wouldn’t we.

Although it's from my childhood stuff like Knightmare I enjoyed - harder than most adult game shows IMO! Nowadays it'd likely be a VR show.

Also anyone remember Mysterious Cities of Gold with the Golden Condor?

Is there any old stuff you can just watch again and again and still find it enjoyable and entertaining to this very day?

Always find I can enjoy the old Colombo episodes. Just something about them that perpetuates my enjoyment.

Scrapheap Challenge.

I spent many late Sunday afternoons glued to the TV as middle aged men ran around a scrapyard as the below temptress acted like she cared.

I watched one some years ago but still many years after it originally aired and didn't think it had aged well even though I loved it when I was a kid. Having said that, I have morphed in to a miserable old bastard with barely a good word to say about anything.
