I'm not talking about the sweeney or minder. They are still being shown on Itv3 and Itv4.
I got round to watching a dvd i bought a while ago - Moody and Pegg. (1974)
seems freemantle(australia?) has all the old brit tv shows bought up.
At the time it was shown, it got an audience of 15 million viewers (three stations on tv)
it starred Derek Waring and Judy Cornwall.
It's like a historical document. The way we used to live. I watched it as a kid aged eight.
Like rising damp it shows that decor was not what we are used to today.
lack of emulsion in the seventies? brown decor is everywhere. Old kitchen cabinets.
outside is well represented too - old cars and buses.
three course meals for 36p. it really was a blast from the past.
my attention was split between the scenery and the story.
very passive slow drama.
is there any lost dramas you can recommend. the BBC destroyed a lot? i was hoping to see
don camillo(1980) with Brian Blessed, but it looks lost?

Raymond Glendenning, Whitehall 1212, the Yards number.
Ovalman - Very disappointed that the Tripods series was abandoned after the 2nd series. They've abandoned quite a few sci fi series in mid stream. Very frustrating especially for sci fi geeks like me. More recently, The Dome, again abandoned due to falling viewing figures I suppose.
Also, that TV series where the aliens dragged their dying planet to orbit the earth ... and then left it there! Most frustrating!

Quatermass and the Pit. 58/59.
Riveting stuff and a couple of episodes available on utube.

Was a shame, the third book, the pool of fire is probably the best of the original trilogy. Have never read the added story When the tripods came, would be good to see the whole lot re made, as long as it's not done in the USA (cough, childhoods end). I'd say it's prime for today's 'boxset' generation.

Ooops I was guessing when I posted it, I usually get my facts correct.

One for the dinosaurs on here, Out Of Town with Jack Hargreaves. It used to be on Sunday mornings back in the day if I remember correctly.
I have been trying to get a dvd of the V series, which unfortunately I never saw the ending(please don't tell me!), but without success. Can chit chatters help?

The Goodies. Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graham Garden. It used to be much watched tv in my house growing up as kids.
SlippyBlue - ah yes, 'Out 0f Town'. Something very absorbing about that programme. Very watchable and surprisingly, not at all boring.
In fact, we had a local transport café named after the programme called (not surprisingly) 'The Out of Town Cafe'. It was the owner's favourite TV programme. Sadly closed down now and flats built on the space instead!

Loved No Hiding Place.
Still remember the smell of dad's old pipe baccy he'd always light up when that came on.
Seem to remember a very young "Mike Baldwin" being Lockhart's sidekick.

Wouldn't be allowed now, Fred smoking his pipe while the action is going on!!!
Don't know why they don't re-run Grange Hill, every 40 something in the land would be watching.
Here's a good trivia question, don't cheat:
What's the relationship between "The Indoor League" and "Jossy's Giants"?

robinson crusoe every summer and if it wasnt raining it was football or cricket time.

and go and do something less boring instead ?
the double deckers with brinsley, the guy from aswad....

It's actually quite an amazing answer. I'll answer now, look away if you want to think, you'll never get it in a million years if you don't know.
--- Spoiler ---
Both of these shows were created by Sid Waddell - the legendary darts commentator.
Not a lot of people know that.

The Clangers was the only TV programme that made sense to me!
not heard of - no hiding place and Torchy?
will need to see if they are represented on youtube? maybe i watched them and forgot.
old tv seemed less violent with perhaps the exception of the sweeney.

it's called Torchy Torchy time. I found it when I wanted to know what Torchy was?
the 1961 tv animation - torchy the battery boy.
This clip is wild. 2 minutes long.

the fugutive starring david nelson was watched by 50 million a ashort while ago.
The Brittas Empire with Chris Barrie from Red Dwarf. Early to mid 90s, on about 830pm I think as it tended to be just after dinner.

GET HELP.
i have always said that the t.v. show with the most atmosphere was pebble mill at one .
learner - your right, The Fugitive TV series from the 1960s was very well done and even today, is still very watchable.
Finished watching Moody and Pegg - only 12 episodes? somehow I thought it lasted a lot longer. Must have seen it when I was eight?
the scale of lifestyle back then was a lot simpler.
50p for a take-away?
in one episode - A guest at the house was discussing the second ice-age.
All before they started up with Global warming in later years.
I think all that bumph started with the Ozone layer? stop using spray cans?
then it snowballed into controlling all your activities. FFS save the planet!!
Call OO7 if you want to save the planet?

My brother has just come back from a UFO (the 1970's TV show) enthusiasts' convention in Derby which he organised. About 150 attended including some of the actors/writers etc. from the show.
He said to me this evening that it went down well and was a great success.
