I remember loads of these and there a quite a few of them I'd like to see again. But my all time favorite is Noggin the Nog. We didn't have a TV until I was 8 or 9, Dad thought they were the work of the devil, but I remember watching Noggin the Nog at my Nain's house and I loved it. Nogbad the Bad surely has to be the best TV villain of all time. My OH loves Bagpuss but I've bought him all the episodes on DVD so he doesn't need to vote. Gwynne

I bet no one remembers..... 'Tug boat Annie'??? Gerri (the old one) x

we have just bought super ted,button moon,jamie and his magic torch,rainbow,and dangermouse on dvd to show the kids what we used to watch...needless top say our ten yr old just laughed and went why did you watch those??we loved em!! bring back bread and V(sci fi)

I too recall many of the programmes mentioned here, but one favourite of my son and mine, was ELDORADO. Now stop laughing everyone! I think we liked it because it reminded us of Malta where my son's dad lives and where we had visited. Did anyone see the programme Monday evening about people owning properties in Spain? Well one chap who used to be in the programme is now a journalist - very distinguished looking now with grey hair - and I think it was him saying how the programme was responsible for lots of English people moving to Spain. Now all you have there is loads of english run bars and restaurants all serving english breakfasts, fish and chops etc. He is quite horrified.

'Play for Today' they looked good, but my Mum always sent me to bed long before they started.

Gotta say... Little House on the Prairie..... Karen

Vivienne, That was Sam Kelly. He was one of the Germans in Allo Allo if memory serves me right, and was Dennis Waterman's chauffeur in On The Up.

On The Up, yes Andy & picturing one of the other actors in it, who's name escapes me, reminded me of Hello Hello. How about Dads Army! Oh dear I must go to bed, work tomorrow, err I mean today! Vivienne

Patricia Routledge one was Hetty Wainthrop Investigates... Dennis Waterman one was On The Up

ONE BY ONE- series about a vet that worked mainly at the Zoo. Brilliant anyone else remember it. Magnum. All creatures great and small. minder. Oh Yes, and .. Tales of the unexpected, (Just a little bit scarry at times.) and Lovejoy

For me..............anything with Joanna Lovely,(Lummley) in it Avengers.............anyone? hullo Lucia.........its just us wrinklies reminiscing.......be patient.LOL

I haven't heard of a few of these shows since I'm too young lol Lucia :-)

Ooh yes Andy, Lovejoy I fancied the pants off Ian McShane. Anyone remember the name of the prog with Dennis Waterman where Mrs Wembley was always having Just the One? Then there was The Upper Hand with Joe McGann, this thread could run & run Vivienne

The ones I would like to see again - Steptoe & Son Fawlty towers I, Claudius, Also one I can't remember the name of - Patricia Routledge played a homely amateur detective, she had a teenage boy as an assistant. I used to really enjoy it, but it was taken off after a short run. Bea.

The ''A'' Team was absolutely Stupid..........I know it was supposed to be comedy? but to imply that they could throw all those bullets and stuff around without any one Actually getting hurt was INANE............. As Mr 'T' once said ''there is an acre of armour plate in every kitchen'' the side of a fridge? or freezer? .............Armour plate??..........ridiculous.......... Bob Ps my son says Puff n stuff.......and Catweazle
