I really liked the vietnam war series "tour of duty". Had "Paint it black" as a theme tune. Which reminds me I keep meanign to get into listening to the Stones properly, that's a cracking song.

I'd like to watch a few old The Barons, Danger Man, Mission Impossible, Man in a Suitcase, The Fugitive...just to see if they really were any good....
Suppose they may be on You Tube.

The US comedy Run Buddy Run and the black n white BBC Saturday night Sci Fi prog The Big Pull. I would be quite surprised if any of you young whipper snappers remember either!

It was shown on the Sci-Fi channel a few years ago and I recorded them on my V+ box only for it to break down and have to be replaced

Profit is a U.S. television drama series that originally aired in 1996 on the Fox Broadcasting Company (Mondays at 9:00 p.m. EST). The series was created (and occasionally directed) by David Greenwalt and John McNamara, and starred Adrian Pasdar as the eponymous lead character Jim Profit. In February 2008 repeat episodes began airing on Chiller (in the USA),[1] and in October 2010 on CBS Action (in Europe).[2]
Considered by many to have been well ahead of its time, the series was a precursor to the early-21st-century trend of “edgy” TV melodramas (featuring dark themes and multidimensional characters) such as: The Sopranos; Mad Men; Nip/Tuck; Dexter; Breaking Bad and The Shield. Controversial themes (largely stemming from the lead character’s amoral, Richard III-style ways) made the show uncomfortable and unfamiliar viewing for mainstream U.S. audiences and Fox network affiliates at the time, leading to its cancellation after just three episodes (not including the pilot) aired.[3] In 2013 TV Guide ranked the series #4 on its list of 60 shows that were "Canceled Too Soon", calling the series "shockingly memorable".[4]

That was the film, Quatermass the TV series was with John Mills (and Toyah appears in it as well). I got it on blu ray and it is still an excellent watch.
