Any big show from the London palladium and An audience with…..,
Every single good comedy show that you could have a good old belly laugh has now been cancelled and there’s never a really good show to watch anymore on a Saturday night that doesn’t involve wannabe’s ! The TV is so depressing nowadays and sick to death of the stupid warnings after every program!

When The Boat Comes In.
A really good drama 🎭

Coupling
Chelmsford 123
Sunset Beach (so bad it was good)
Tomorrow's World
Burke's Special
Jackanory(proper version)

Luther (seen series twice)
Endeavour
Peaky Blinders
Line of Duty

Oh Hatcham I loved Chelmsford 123! I rarely find anyone who remembers it now.

Loopyloo - National Geographic is on Sky 129.
I cancelled my Sky subscription,, so I don’t get it anymore. You may find some old episodes on YouTube

I loved Bilko, the Mary Tyler Moore show and the spinoffs which I am trying to remember. I will come back when I have googled them.

Whingey

Rowan and Martins laugh in. Lie detector. Did you see your lady friend last night. Beep. What did you do? We had a kiss. Beep. And a cuddle. Beep. And that's all. Beeep

Roman and Martin’s Laugh In is on Disney+. I’m on Season 2 now. It’s definitely of it’s time, but some of it is still really funny. It’s surprising how many big stars were on it.

Champion the wonder horse

I rarely watch itv but caught a bit of its’ late evening news item announcing that there will be cuts to the daytime tv budget to enable more to be spent on “quality drama”.
Hallelujah!
Lorraine, and Loose Women were two shows they mentioned.
It’s all due to falling revenue from advertising, because of competition from streaming services.
Itv are a tad late in recognising this imo but if this means some new evening output then that’s good news.
Lots more comedy and comedy drama series would make a refreshing change from all those cliched, anxiety ridden and increasingly tacky offerings.
