Porridge and Yes Minister/Yes prime minister.
Thats about it and I wasn't a fan of Only Fools And Horses first time round so I'm not watching that again.
Oh and House Of Cards, the UK version.

Star Trek is on every day here, seen a couple of episodes this year that I'd never seen before.
All sorts of old shows on this channel:

You must be very old.
You missed out Twizzle and Supercar.
I loved Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet* as a kid and they all went out of production at least 10 years before I was born.

Just a quick heads up that all 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers are on BBC iPlayer, and will be for the next 7 months.

I love Minder but definitely prefer the later series with Gary Webster replacing Dennis Waterman- Terry's character was just a bit too cheesy at times and over-played for me, I thought Ray was more believable and likeable
Arthur , Dave , and Chisolm / Jones / Rycott were brilliant in all of them

Joe 90??
One of the highlights of my (long) life was meeting Joe 90 at Gerry Anderson's studios in Slough. Came away with a toy flying car and a photo of me, Joe and the mousetrap!
