On the previous telly I skipped between Heartbeat and MASH.
But HB isn't so good on the big telly, so mainly MASH. Nearly finished series 7.
Every episode is great.

Sapphire and Steel, bloody hell that was creepy, the story about the thing that lived on the old railway station and fed on resentment, jeez that’s terrified me, I’m typing this at the ripe old age of 52 and it’s still raising all my hackles and it feels like somethings just walked over my grave.KungFooBob wrote: Fri Jul 23, 2021 8:52 amCouldn't watch it.

There was a kids TV series about a boy and an alien, Chocky?
That gave me nightmares too.

Didn't have a telly in the 70s or 80s so my re-watching starts with Babylon 5! Stuff that's now on the drama channels - like Lovejoy (which I quite enjoyed
) - is new to me but BBC4 looks like a replay of the 80s on some nights...Yes Minister, The Good Life, To the Manor Born

Aye, used to love that.Taipan wrote: Fri Jul 23, 2021 1:08 pm Auf Wiedersehen Pet. Repeatedly. My favourite TV program off all time.
It was on a Friday night IIRC. Some of my lightweight mates used to stay in and watch it
I got to watch it later somehow.

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet?
How was that in your youth? The hoop and stick wasn't even invented when you were young, you old codger.
Remember Anne Diamond!

It would not surprise me!
I also remember Muffin the Mule.
Apparently it is legal in Wales.
