What tv series in the past did you like ?

I was addicted to Emergency Ward 10. I was in love with one of the doctors ( I can't remember which one though).
The Walton's.
Any historical drama. I remember watching The Flight of the Heron which got me reading the trilogy.

Who Pays the Ferryman, set in Crete, seemed very exotic!

Going way way back, does anyone remember The Groves, and The Appleyards? They are the earliest family 'sitcoms' I can remember. I also liked "When the boat comes in"; Rising Damp; The Forsyte Saga; All creatures great and small; The Liver Birds; Man about the house. Sure there are loads of others that elude me at the moment!

MASH
Cagney and Lacey
Starsky and Hutch
Dad's Army
Morecambe and Wise
Fawlty Towers
Monty Python
Father Ted
Moonlighting

The Avengers

The Prisoner

The Lotus Eaters

Cribb

Maigret (both incarnations - Rupert Davis and later Michael Gambon)

Clochemerle

Doctor Who

Doomwatch

Oh yes I loved Budgie too. Sam was so good. Going back even further I loved A for Andromeda when I was young. I thought it was very exciting like a pre Dr Who. Loved Blakes 7 as well.

Lots of memories on this thread. Great idea NanKate

and Budgie starring Adam Faith..

Most of the above - plus Bouquet of Barbed Wire, Starsky & Hutch, A Kind of Loving are a few that spring to mind.

So many more are coming to mind!
Bonanza ( I was in love with Michael Landon who played Little Jo),
The Thorn Birds,
Tenko,
Howards Way
Crossroads,
The Prisoner,
Randall and Hopkirk (deceased).

Morse,
Butterflies,
Columbo,
Little House on the Prairie,
The Waltons,
Cagney and Lacey,
Charlie's Angels,
Starsky and Hutch (had a thing about Starsky)
Top of the Pops and the Old Grey Whistle Test (Love a bit of Rock)
Star Trek with William Shatner and gang.
Moonlighting (Cybill and Bruce - the first series)
Midnight Caller - with Gary Cole
American Gothic - ditto
St Elsewhere,
The Golden Girls,
Mork and Mindy,
The Rockford Files,
M.A.S.H.
looking at this list I watched more TV years ago than I do now, and I will probably think up more programmes to post on this list later.

The last episode of Love for Lydia was on the same night as the works Christmas Meal. We either left the meal completely or left, went home and then went back. We absolutely loved it.

The Waltons
The Professionals
The Sweeney
Butterflies
And more recently
Spooks ( my all time favourite)
Luther (Idris Elba is sex appeal on legs!) I'm not too old to appreciate it when I see it!

I think that some would stand the test of time, but an awful lot wouldn't, so maybe we shouldn't watch them again.

I so enjoyed The Onedin Line , even the music was perfect

They were all so good. I managed to get Love for Lydia from either Ebay or Amazon (can't remember) and watched it again. Lovely.
I wish we could have repeats of some of these golden oldies, instead of the endless Lewis, Marple etc (even though I like them too) or cookery/house programmes.

Anyone remember Dr Kildare? I was smitten.

James Bolam in "When the Boat Comes In" was/is my all time favourite. In fact I have the box set (60th birthday present) and last winter managed to watch all of them - it was still brilliant.

How about Bonanza and Rawhide - absolutely brilliant cowboys imho.

A Family at War

Sam

Dr Finlay

Judge Deed

I'd forgotten Tenko - it was brilliant and ground breaking in its day.

The black and white version of The Woodlanders (1970s)

It had Felicity Kendle as Grace Melbury and they had a dialogue coach so that the actors had a genuine Dorset accent and not just oh ah oh ah in a horrible general sort of yokel way.

As I come from Weymouth I really appreciated it.

Many of the above - The Onedin Line, When the Boat Comes In,^To Serve them all My Days^ everything on anniebach's list, and does anyone remember 'Helen - a Woman of Today'?
Blake's Seven - I remember going to the hairdresser's and she cut my hair like the Supreme Commander's. DM was babysitting and she got a fit of the giggles when she saw it and kept looking at my hair and giggling for the rest of the day
(it was shorter than I expected)

It looks as if I didn't get out much

Lillie, Edward and Mrs Simpson. Agree Duchess of Duke St. Yes liked the police ones, No Hiding Place?

The Dutchess of Duke Street.

Blake's Seven. I was in labour in hospital when the final episode was on so never found out what happened. Was gutted but new baby made up for it.

Anyone remember ZCars? I used to love Brian Blessed in that.

Ballykissangel

Poldark - the original

The Waltons

Morse

Upstairs Downstairs

Tenko

Just Good Friends

Dad's Army

Forsythe Saga

Larkrise to Candleford

All by Charles Dickins

Loved Peyton Place.

Also Bonanza, Wagon Train, and a series about nuns in a convent but I can't remember the name, it was in the late 60s.
