Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 The Woodentops and Andy Pandy were 1950's children programmes, I think they were just old repeats used during the early to mid 60's until colour TV came on the scene. We did have The Monkees during the 60's!! Hay, hay were're the Monkees!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 My favourite in the 60's was The Avengers, the first series with Honor Blackman as Cathy Gale. I loved her outfits, hair do and the way she chucked the blokes over her shoulder! The stories were far fetched but the inclusion of a powerful female leading character was cutting edge for the time. On one of the digital channels they put Avengers repeats but I have never seen a Cathy Gale one. I guess the BBC destroyed the tapes. Emma Peel was not as good as Cathy Gale and as for those who came later, I never bothered to watch them. My dad and I used to watch Dr Who but mum thought it was too scary!

It includes all but some of the very earliest series pre-Cathy Gale when Ian Hendry was in it. It was ATV, by the way, not the BBC. I must say I prefer Emma Peel! But you're right, it went downhill after she left. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 #69 Thanks for this Merthyr Imp. I will look for the boxed set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I should have said ABC not ATV. If I remember right it was ABC that provided the programmes at weekends, with ATV during the week - or Granada which was what we got in Lincolnshire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
