My favourite only fools episode
Yellow pearl i pmsl eveytime JOHN

Great episode. 'Yeah we chose gold because of your restaurant Mr Chin. The Golden Locust!'

My favourite is the special Jolly Boys OOuting. Favourite series episode is Yuppy Love, but think the earlier series with Grandad were the better generally.

Remember the satallite episode?

“Look John better get clean up quick “

Del 'How old is she?'

Del 'How late 30's.'
Rodney '40.'
Del '40! Blimey Rodney, she's even too old for me.'
Granddad 'Well I'd have to think twice!!'

How about Steptoe and Son? Remember Hercules?

I do like Steptoe it was very good

Really liked Steptoe and Son but an age since I've watched it.

Nope,going to google it in a mo.

How about Daktari and Flipper.

Wait a minute,garrisons gorillas seem to remember that name. Google time.

Big Deal

daktari, flipper yes, g gorillas was around 1966, reckon something similar to a team

Yeah just googled it there,says 67-68.

Never saw it,was only 4then. That Christopher cary looks familar.

Here's one For The Older Crew The Racing Game Granada TV Any one Remember?

Don't remember that one sevey. Gonna add that to my to watch list.
Presently going through Rising Damp, only on the episode Black Magic,just watched Rooksby ,the one that Philip moved in. Unsure if that was the first episode. Anyhow gonna watch them all tonight.

Here's an Other one Lynda de Plant Widows Dolly Rawlings bit of Crime and Corruption on You Tube if You Like it There is a Follow up Called She's out also on You Tube Thank me Later Enjoy

What was that racing game sevey?

Sevey - is that series available to watch anywhere online?
I remember it being half-decent...but that was 40 years ago so my mind my be playing tricks on me - again!

Evening Lads The Racing Game was Made for TV by Granada l Was Lucky my Mate Gave it to me as a Gift Asked him Where he Got it He Bought on Line From HMV

HGS The Racing Game By Dick Francis Google it Much Quicker Because iam Shocking at This Typing Lark

Alias Smith and Jones  (FROM THE 70S)  Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry, two of the most wanted outlaws in the history of the West, are popular "with everyone except the railroads and the banks".

Good one Alf

after an amynesty

Shame Pete Duel killed Himself in a Game of Russian roulette

Some good shows mentioned. I never tire of watching Callan.

The Virginian a great tv western series.

The Sandbaggers very good too and The Fugitive (David Jansen) is still extremely good if you have a couple of months to spare.

Alec Guinness as George Smiley in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley`s People.

The Odd Couple still very funny imo and superb acting by Klugman and Randall.

Muck and Brass

Tom Craig

I watched Yuppy Love again the other day. I think it has to be the best 45 min of comedy even though a fair bit of it was cut.

Managed to watch the first series of Rising Damp last night. Maybe have a search for Reggie Perrin,think that's how you spell it.

A few more good programmes mentioned.

I used to watch Alias Smith and Jones with my dad on a Sunday,then the Golden Shot after.
Left a bit,right a bit.up a bit,fire. Bernie The Bolt was some shot.

Gonna add Kung Fu with David Carradine. All the kids in the street were play fighting and saying ah grasshopper after they whacked each other.

Happy days.

Chuck Connors was mentioned earlier, I remember him in Branded and the Rifleman.

Start of Branded where they rip off his buttons and epaulettes, break his sword in half and he walks through the fort gates to the tune 'Branded scorned with a cowards name, what do you do when you're branded and you know you're a man'.

yes branded and rifleman, and cowboy in afrrica was about the same time.
saturday our hosehold, banana splits, then on the ball, grandstand/world of sport, dr who, dixon, then i recall black and white minstrels , thriller (really scary) match of the day

think peter duel committed suicide rather than russian roulette.

mystery and imagination  1960 -70s scared the fook outta me as a nipper.

anyone remember  king and castle ,think nigel planer neil the hippy form the young ones  was in it .

king and castle ...a bent  and sacked ex copper teams up with a green as grass novice to set up a debt collecting service in 80s london ,decent series if memory serves .

How about that programme ,at the beginning had some sort of hexagonal box or carnival thing that that spun around then opened up then you got some sort of scary programme,had weird catchy music,can't remember the name,think short stories about 20mins,half an hour.

Just got it now after typing all that.

Tales of the unexpected !

What a difference to nowadays,all you seem to get is stupid unreality shows.
Imho.

Great times ,we never had it so good.

El Cid Alfred Molina and John Bird later Amanda Redman, two retired Met police solving crimes on the costas.

Give us a Break - snooker drama woth Robert Lindsay and Paul McGann

Sapphire and Steel

not the 9 o'clock news

similar to opening of 'picture box ' if anyone can remember that, i'm sure presenter appeared in brookside at some point.

tales of unexpected is on sky arts at the moment, usually most days.

If you like action there's Minder followed by The Professionals followed by The Sweeney on ITV4 from about 3.45 Mon-Fri afternoons.

All quite heavily edited though so as not to offend the snowflakes

if 'love thy neighbour' was on now would only last 30 seconds

Another one I catch when flicking channels is the Champions, think they have mystical powers, but never saw it when growing up.
