We only had childrens programmes from 4 until about 6 and then it closed down until about 8pm in the early 50s.  No rubbish for us to be corrupted by.

Robinson Crusoe was different class. Best ever score for any tv show.

Great shout DD. Terrific serial and brilliant theme tune indeed but surely Khachaturian`s Adagio from Spartacus would be a contender for best ever theme tune? And the tv series it was used for was a brilliant series too.

Hammy hamster.

I can only remember Anouska Hempel on the panel of Whodunnit, and in a terrible series called Zodiac where Anton Rodgers was the love interest?

I can't have any of these other themes. The original Black Beauty was a very good series, and had the massive advantage of starring Judi Bowker, who was also different class. It's a shame that she virtually gave up television for the theatre. If Black Beauty was starting now she would be a massive star, whether she liked or not.

Recently saw episodes of The Fugitive which were entertaining and, never having seen the final episode way back I caught the last episode and saw the conclusion.  I had never known that Gerrard had come round to believing him innocent and that he sympathised with him at the end.  When/after the final episode was aired all those years ago the "result" was actually announced at Parkhead, at half-time during a European match, to a huge crowd. "The one-armed man did it"!  Such was the fevered interest in the show and the outcome.
