I’d like to see that again

TwiceAsNice, I remember Harry’s Game too. The first time I ever saw Charlie Fairhead. Oops, meant Derek Thompson.

I have the onedin line and tenko on dvd, I also have roots

Series like The Onedin Line, The Forsyte Saga and The Brothers were must-see Sunday night dramas, but if you were to watch them now, sadly their age would show.
The sets would look very wooden, and the speech would be a bit clunky.
Some things are best left to shine in the memory.

Jacq10

Peter Barkworth?

The Four Seasons of Rosie Carr. Often think about that programme, must have made an impression. Just looked up when it was shown, 1964. Sadly it doesn’t look like it was ever released on video etc.

MiniMoon I loved Northern Exposure too.
I'd love to watch thirty something again.
Also vintage Brookside.

I remember Richard Chamberlain coming to Birmingham to act in a local theatre. I was quite impressed by that. I loved the book of The Thorn Birds: read it on holiday in Cornwall one year. And the book she wrote after that, but I can’t remember what it was called. The main character was called Missy.

The Thorn Birds with Bryan Brown....Mmmmm

And because of Maybe70 When the Boat Comes In

I loved the book but thought Richard Chamberlain was totally miscast as Ralph de Bricassart whi in my view should have been dark haired!

Lucca. When I read the Thorn Birds I immediately thought of Richard Chamberlain as Ralph de Bricassart, however I didn’t enjoy the film because I didn’t like Rachel Ward.

I was really young I think, when that was on, but i think i can remember lovely music at the start.
Was it lovely?

The Onedin Line would be my choice.

Another Sunday night one I really enjoyed and would love to see again was "Telford's Change". It had a great cast - doubt if I could remember their names now - Hannah Gordon and Peter ?, Keith Barron and a few faces I can remember but not names. Need to stop thinking about how good TV dramas were back then.

Oh thanks Ilovecheese I’ll check the drama channel out. The other thing I’d love to see again ( don’t think it’s ever been repeated) was a one off drama called Harry’s Game set in Ireland during the troubles . It had a beautiful haunting sounding theme tune.

A Place to call Home. Australian drama.

Granny23: I just loved Sunset Song. It was in 1971 and I was pregnant with DD. I caught up with the books many years later.

The one I have never forgotten was Pharic McLaren's 6 part version of Sunset Song, with Vivienne Heilbron as Chris. I remember watching it on Sunday evenings while I was breastfeeding so must have been 1970 or 1973.

Funny how we remember the programmes we were watching while breastfeeding.

Crossroads was one of mine

Citizen Smith

I recently bought a DVD player (having never had one) and I'm amazed how good it is for £20. I can now watch the Hitchcock box set I was given ten years ago!

Tutti Frutti was one of my all time favourites. Full on Robbie Coltrane and Emma Thompson before she got all luvvie and a pain in the bum.

Also loved Hamish McBeth ( why does autocorrect keep trying to change H....h to Hampshire?)

Northern Exposure.

Its available as a DVD box set but I don't own a DVD player.
It was a lovely quirky series about a Doctor from New York working in a small town in Alaska. I haven't tried YouTube for it, but I will.

Jewel in the Crown is available via youtub. I watched it last week all in one go!!!
