Old tv programmes/serials

Brush strokes.

KatyK A Family at War is being aired on my favourite channel 81 ( talking pictures ) I watched " Fallen Idol " yesterday and " SOS Titanic ".

As Time goes by is on channel 20 with Last of the Summer Wine following it. 20 to 7 every night.

The Golden Girls.

Petticoat Junction

The Beverley Hillbillies.

Brideshead Revisited.

Prime Suspect.

Ever Decreasing Circles
The Flying Doctors (I was in love with one of the docs).
The Liver Birds ( the series with Polly James).

Definitely Ever Decreasing Circles Minimoon. And could we have a Re-run of Alan Bennett's monologues too? The ones with Thora Hird, Penelope Wilton and Patricia Routledge.

The River

I loved those monologues, talking heads.

At last the 1948 show

The Beverly Hillbillies
Sergeant Bilko
Mr Ed
Bonanza
Wagon Train
The Golden Girls

Terry and June
George and Mildred
Steptoe and Son

A lot of these are on Netflix. I’d like to see a programme called The Brothers, about a family run haulage business.

I did watch Brookside at one time and was quite sad when they wound it up.

There was an afternoon series which I watched for a while when I was pregnant and at home with small children "Take the High Road" set in Scotland in and around Loch Lomond. It coincided when my youngsters were having an afternoon nap.

More recently loved Stella, Mad Men and The Good Wife. The French series Spiral, I hope there's another one in the pipeline, just love it.

Further back in time and on a more serious note another fan of Brideshead Revisited, Family at War and a series from America, back in the '70s Rich Man Poor Man, I read the book and from Australia, Thorn Birds loved that, again read the book Dallas when it first started and briefly it's spin off, Knots Landing.

Little Britain, such an array of brilliantly observed characters. Similarly The Paul Whitehouse show again for the characterisations and his more recent one with Harry Enfield.

I wonder how Peyton Place would be viewed now?
At the time it was the most 'racy'? tv programme that had ever been shown.

Wow , what a trip down memory lane. I remember watching some of these as a teen and looking at the clock ticking on the mantel piece, willing the episode not to end.

Colditz, Tenko, The Likely Lads ( but Bob). Quality entertainment.

For anybody who has not tried Spirale, you are in for a treat.

The Alan Bennett monologues , brilliant and fantastic performances by people who knew how to act.

Like BBbevan i would love to see Precious Bane again

There was this great series which my daughter and I were watching from YouTube - Young, Dumb and Living off Mum - don't know why they haven't made a recent series!

I agree about the Alan Bennett monologues, they were repeated once, then vanished.
Although some older series do turn up on Gold/Yesterday/Dave there are many that seem to have just gone.

Does anyone remember a series called The Brothers?
I think it was early 1970’s.

Daddima ?
I Just read the latest posts upthread and saw your comment.

I would quite enjoy seeing Catweazel again as well.

I just found this on YouTube!

There is also episode one, but with dodgy sound.
Ah well, the ironing can wait!

Peak Practice, Butterflies, Bouquet of barbed wire

Peak Practice!!! Oh one of those docs could take my blood pressure any time.

Oh yes I loved Peak Practice as well. My daughter was a great fan of Catweazel.
Sorry about the spelling Maw
