    Buck Rogers of 21st century

    If you're referring to the Gil Gerrard show, then it's the 25th Century... it'd be a pretty boring show watching him in his coma/frozen for another 400 odd years :-)

    Nit-picking.... ???
    Already signed up for the following 2010 rides:

    Etape Caledonia (May 16th)

    AMR's Cross-Border Sportive (Sept 19th)

  • I liked Hawaii Five-O and The Six Million Dollar Man, but I'm sure I'd find them rubbish now.

    From more recent TV I thought the Wire was great and wished it was longer than 5 seasons.
    No-one wanted to eat Patagonia Toothfish so they renamed it Chilean Sea Bass and now it's in danger of over fishing!

    Does anyone remember a programme called ' Adventure Weekly'. Im sure the signature tune was played on a mouth organ..........also........can anyone tell me the name of a kids prog from the 70's, in which a bed-ridden boy living in a lighthouse (?) finds himself surrounded by giant stones......something about his dreams, and/or his drawings in a sketch pad which come true while he sleeps.......(honest folks, I've not been smoking old inner tubes....)

    Still doing occasional repeat runs on G.O.L.D., so clearly there hasn't been a bit of a c**k-up on the archiving front. :wink:

    It's A Knockout....the brilliant Eddie Waring, and Stuart Hall helpless with laughter, as someone dressed in a fatsuit falls over while carrying 2 buckets of whitewash........ :D

    Wasn't convinced by the first series of it (apart from the "I Saw You Coming" shop full of tat which was rather good), some cracking sketches in the second one though - The Hoodies (brilliant Goodies spoof) and of course, Clarkson Island! :)
