Maybe there's a thread on this already...if so I apologise.However, just wanted to get a conversation going on old TV shows that don't seem to be repeated on any of the satellite channels these days:
I'll start with
Storybook international. Rem that?Childrens tv programme dubbed really badly?
Mart and Market! An RTE classic especially for us urban kids. Couldnt even find a clip of it on youtube! :mad:
yes....remember the baldy lad that used to present it? Dillon I think was his name.
Here's another one: Leave it to Mrs O'Brien....another s hite RTE comedy
Hill Street Blues (1981 - Forever)
Opening Titles

But there is another sequence with some cars coming out of a garage. Like so.
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm568627712/tt0081873
I don't know which is the original.
Hill Street Blues is where I first learned of the first names Hector and Jésus.
Also linguine was a strange exotic dish the characters talked about.
Tolka Row. It was sort of an Eastenders.
Remember it? Tchih! I can play it on the guitar!Quote:

Minder, the old one with Dennis Waterman.
Errie Indiana? loved that show
Randall and Hopkirk Deceased (the original).
Got season 1 of roots a few months ago for cheap very good show
The Littlest Hobo
American Gothic
and i think another programme watched was called Night Caller
I loved MacGyver and The A-TEAM, Beauty and the Beast on after Family Fortunes I think with Rod Pearlman and Linda Hamilton.
I remember Eerie Indiana, great show. Loved the titles at de start and de music.
And what about Noel Edmonds House Party and Chips
Went into some deep, dark, dank places to dig up these for those of us of a certain age. Now I don't want to talk about it any more...
(btw, if that 'embedding disabled' thing comes up on any of these below, a double tap when the hand shows will open the clip in a new window)
Shoestring
Shelley
Van der Valk
Benson (!)
The Famous Five
The Time Tunnel
The Greatest American Hero
The World at War - groundbreaking documantry (24 parts)? by Granada narrated by Lawerence Olivier covering WW2 including the the road to war in the various countries - surperb - currently being repeated on BBC2 on Sat
Anyone remember Kung Fu? I'm watching season 2 at the moment. The writing's a little uneven, and it's very formulaic, but I like it a lot.
Remember watching that as a kid. I think it used to be shown on a Sunday. Excellent stuff.Quote:
