What TV shows do you miss?

Wasn't Compact about a magazine? I loved it as well. I shall have to Google it to remind myself. Also Howards Way. A nice end to a sunday? evening. DH and I caught an episode a couple of years ago at a holiday let. What a treat.

Does anybody here remember Compact? I used to love that as a pre-teen. I can't even remember what it was about.

Or The Red Grass - a children's sci fi serial. Also loved, as a child, the serialisation of The Silver Sword.

There's a lot on here I've never heard of or never watched.
I always enjoyed costume dramas and not seen the Onedin Line mentioned here.

Outnumbered was brilliant. I miss good comedy.. there isn’t much, if any, now.

I somehow manage to watch some Golden Oldies such as Heartbeat and The Bill - and I can actually understand what the actors are saying!!!! I also enjoy Outnumbered and Michael Crawford's activities - great fun along with 'Allo Allo. And then there's Richard Chamberlain - anything with him in it.......

Schitt's Creek
Ice Road Truckers
Green Wing

...these are the ones that spring to mind.

Forgot Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. For some reason I found it hilarious- still do, even though it’s not normally my thing at all.
Seinfeld
Cagney and Lacey

Angels and ER. I love a medical drama. Yes Bilko! And Mash. Also Prisoner Cell Block H. I love a prison drama too!

Endeavour
Spiral
Line of Duty
Cheers
Bilko
Outnumbered

I miss Doctors, but im watching all the oldies on U and drama, in the mornings.(think its still 2005/6) at the moment with Christopher Timothy)

I find more to watch on You Tube now than what our TV stations have to offer.

I used to like the comedy ketch shows like Monty Python, Not The Nine O'Clock News, The Fast Show, Armstrong and Miller, Mitchell and Webb, Smack the Pony and Little Britain.

The Fast Show was brilliant. My so had a few little parts in that when he was a teen.

DollyRocker

League of Gentlemen. Not everyone's cup of tea!

I loved it and we still quote it. “You’re my wife now” “this is a local shop, for local people” 😆

I loved Green Wing, the whole cast were brilliant …

Drop the Dead Donkey was on at the theatre recently with many of the former cast and it was just as good as back in the day.

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.

Champion the wonder horse

I wish they would bring back Tomorrow's World.
And I loved The Golden Girls.
