.... 23 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Was there a rumour last year that TOTP'S was coming back? I can't see that in a million years after all the bad publicity over lurid stories the old one has been receiving recently. I thought it was complete rubbish for years anyway to be honest. After it's beginnings in the sixties, wading through hours of mediocre rubbish to get the odd decent band on. I was just old enough to remember Ready Steady Go! when I was a kid now THAT seemed a far better show to me! Pity that one didn't survive instead! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,218 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Auf Wiedersehen Pet - Becoming increasingly relevant again as jobs continue to disappear 'Allo 'Allo - Refreshingly funny Goodnight Sweetheart - Interesting storyline - Bugga not on YouTube Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - TV Series not quite as good as the radio series but well worth watching Minder - "The World is your Lobster" I regularly watch many of these and other shows mentioned on my favourite tv channel YouTube 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I Didn't Know You Cared was a brilliant programme, and was most surprised that more episodes were not made. Robin Bailey who played Uncle Mort was born in Hucknall, and my dad somehow knew him and greatly admired him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barrettkeller 79 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I’d like to see a good old ‘cowboy’ adventure. When I was a child, western films and TV series seemed to dominate. Commercial TV on Saturday nights often featured a Warner Brothers western series (much more action-packed than the BBC’s ‘Wells Fargo’ and ‘Laramie’ offerings): Cheyenne, Sugarfoot, Lawman, Maverick, Bronco (Lane), Colt 45 - and there were episodes where the main characters would appear in each other’s programmes. I recall acting out some of the scenes with my mates the following day using our cap guns (why were they always unrealistically silver?) and using vocal gymnastics to simulate gunfire (so much more satisfying than the sound of the pink cap strips). I’d also like to see ‘The Outer Limits’ again. There were several TV series focusing on the ‘supernatural’ – The Twilight Zone; One Step Beyond; Tales of the Unexpected; but my favourite was The Outer Limits. Each programme began with the same voice-over: ‘There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission’ and ended with the words, ‘We now return control of your television set to you, until next week, at the same time when the Control Voice will take you to... The Outer Limits’. Scary stuff for a young lad up past his bedtime! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 mick2me #29: I watched a film on YouTube last night. 1954 B&W comedy mystery called "The Runaway Bus" with Frankie Howard Terence Alexander, Margaret Rutherford and Petula Clark. I was mightily impressed too. One of my favourite old series is the 1970s TV series' Doomwatch. Also: Fabian of the Yard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barclaycon 569 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Perhaps this is an unusual choice, but I used to really like 'Weekend World' with Brian Walden. Some of the best political interviews and in-depth reporting there's ever been. We now have 'dumbed-down' politics with Andrew Neil and stupid CBBC type political reporters who have zero credibilty and little idea about journalism - other than sound-bites. They never tap into the public mood and never actually inform us about things. Particularly the ramifications of government decisions and, more importantly, Europe. Brian Walden was superb at grilling politicians because he'd been a politician himself. It's highly probable that he was a victim of his own success because many figures declined to go on the programme because he was so good. Now we've got Molly the Dog and Michael Cho Choo Portillo.

Compo 10,326 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Barclaycon #71: Did you see the programme "Walden on Churchill"? It's on YouTube along with some other "Walden on..." in the series. Excellent 30 mins worth: https://youtu.be/KpJcQDxISL0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barclaycon 569 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 No I haven't seen that. Thanks very much for the heads up Compo. I'll check it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
