Johnny Ball Reveals All - If the government want kids to get into Science they can forget all their fancy techniques and targets, just stick this back on the box.

Too many to mention here, but, starting with Rab :

passout

Banana Splits - best theme tune ever?! Unless they've already brought it back - I haven't been checking....

Also the Red Hand Gang

Different Strokes

Jamie and the Magic Torch

The Rockford Files

Not the nine o'clock news

The Young Ones

More recently....Reaper

Barkiesnake

The tomorrow people,
All of the original ones right from the start, especially the Blue and the green, freaked me out as a kid but i loved it.
:shock: :shock:

Cressers

HOW!

Why don't you?

And Dr Who before Rusell T Davis Eastendered it into a camp pantomime.

CHRISNOIR

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.
Spaced.

Although I'm always aware that one more series of either could be a disaster and taint the memory of a flawless original...

I am a bit of an anorak here Im afraid to admitt and collecttVintage sitcoms and other 60s/7Os series.on DVD and Video.Got some rare stuff too....Favourite rarity is 3 episodes of Curry & Chips..The Emma Peel years in the Avengers is another fav.in my collection.

The Black and White Minstrel show presented by Nick Griffin?

Pross

The Professionals - bad acting, bad plots, bad hair, bad clothes and fantastic theme tune. Best programme ever (yes I know it's on ITV4 but seen them all too many times - need new ones!)

Filthy, Rich and Catflap - one brilliant series, a promise of a new series in the autumn which never came and eventually we had the not (quite) so good Bottom to replace it.

Brasseye - still can't believe the numpties who complained at the repeated showing of the paedo episode months after it had first gone out. Chris Morris is a genius. Would also bring back Blue Jam on the radio

cee

Northern Exposure....again from the start please!

daviesee

If we are doing American/Canadian shows then..

Hill Street Blues
Due South
Northern Exposure

But not redo's, just the originals repeated, in full please!

I don't know if any shows redone would capture the originals.
There are all sorts of rumours of shows about to be redone, Hawaii 5-0 etc.
Not sure if it's worth the effort :?

The opening sequence always made me laugh on that (well, I was about 6 at the time)

Bullseye

"iiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn one - a teasmade"

Oh yes! Sunday tea at Nana's watching a bit o' Bully! 4 chubby helpers in Bully t-shirts shoving a speed boat out from behind a curtain. Jim says," ere lads, it's all yours!...bet you can't wait to take it for a spin, eh? On the erm...errr pond? River, aye take it to a river". You really couldn't beat a bit of Bully. B.F.H!

I really liked Airwolf as a kid. Filmed on a bit of a budget tho as most airbourne shots of the chopper were the same, as too were the explosions. Stringfellow Hawke, now that's a proper name...(as an aside, best made-up tuff guy name is Snake Plisken)

Kids drama from 80's...Chocky, Box of Delights, Stig of the Dump, Huckleberry Finn.

The Professionals...power sliding Capri's, RS2000, guns & perms...what's not to like.

If you have it, a lot of these old shows are on Sky. Bullseye, Airwolf etc. And after seeing a few of em lately I'm not so sure they should be on. Memories best left as they are..memories..;-)

Chorlton and the Wheelies...

Just reading the synopsis on wikipedia, sounds like a programme created for cyclists!

"The series takes place in "Wheelie World", which is inhabited principally by the "wheelies", a race of anthropomorphic creatures who locomote by means of wheels."

'Thomkinson's Schooldays' may be one of the most perfect half hour comedy programmes I've ever seen

Both of these have been brought back within the past year and were both rubbish. Some things should stay gone!

Does anyone remember an american show in the 70s where a group of people built a big space rocket and every week they'd use it to get to different parts of earth really quickly to act out a plot.

I vaguely remember one series of this programme but now I can't even remember what it was called or what it was about, apart from the rocket.

Or did I dream it?

The Naylor & grant split is what spoiled it.. & Clare Grogan was a much sweeter and charming love intertest for our mate Lister then the harder Chloe...
