What would you like to see repeated (but they never do)

The Wonder Years

Thank you Boz I will catch up with these.

Riff Raff Element was great- the first thing I saw Greg Wise in and thought how handsome he was/is.

Our Friends in the North was fantastic and the first thing I saw Daniel Craig in- a much better actor than he appears in JB.

I dont mind that these shows are dated - I'm dated. As for the language and attitudes well that was how it was and hopefully I watch these things with a more enlightened attitude than I did then but I wouldn't want them reacted or airbrushed. I just remember these shows from happier times for me.

A Moment In Time by H E Bates. Beautiful book which was dramatised by the BBC during the early 1980s. I watched it and never forget it. I never saw it repeated and I don't think it's available anywhere but I have read the book several times.

Just watched Smiley's People (wonderful follow-on from Tinker, Tailor....) on old video tapes. Bit grainy but still absorbing. If anyone wants it free gratis, just send me am address privately.

“Green Wing” a totally potty medical comedy. Brilliant cast.

I think Wendy Craig is still around and doing small appropriate parts in films and plays

I loved Green Wing. I think it was on catchup at one point. Was it Ch4?

I loved his ‘Love for Lydia’ too.

I meant that the language, attitudes and behaviours from years ago may be the reason some of these programmes are not aired nowadays.

Green Wing is on All4 and Britbox. Boys from the Blackstuff is on Britbox as are some of the others mentioned here.

"Diana" by R.F. Delderfield with Kevin McNally and Jenny Seagrove (nothing to do with |HRH) it was excellent. A real good yarn as my Grandma would have said.

A lot of the costume dramas have been shown on the Drama channel - I loved Cranford .
Lark Rise to Candleford
Onedin Line,
Flambards
Middlemarch
Mayor of Casterbridge
Homefires
Duchess of Duke Street

Just to name a few!

I recollect a Sunday evening series called 'Telford's change' which we loved. About a bank manager and family. Hannah Gordon was the lady lead. I can see the male quite clearly but can't for the life of me recollect his name. All help appreciated!

Googled (of course!) Peter Barkworth.

I was going to say onedin line that was great wasn’t it and Just good friends with Paul Nicholas .

Wendy Craig was in an episode of Midsummer Murders (she did it) and a hospital Matron can't remember the name of the series set in Scarborough in the 60s.

Had to Google it, as I enjoyed it, Wendy Craig in The Royal.

I still remember a wonderful version of Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" on BBC2 with dramatic staging. I would love to see that repeated.

Adam Adamant. I used to love that programme. Green Wing and Peak Practice have both been issued on DVD (maybe others too) and it's worth a look on World of Books or the Oxfam site for second hand copies. Which reminds me, I haven't tried them myself to see if Adam Adamant is available!

The Thorn Birds

lovebeigecardigans1955

I'd love to see The Fast Show as I missed out on it.

Line of Duty and Spiral from the very first series to the last ones.

All these are on catch up tv. We loved bingeing on them during lockdown.

I’d love to see Soap
Strange Report
and What Katy Did with Susan Hampshire as Katy and Michelle Dotrice as Clover.

An old black and white version of Jane Eyre. I think Ann Bell played Jane, can’t remember who played Mr Rochester but I can picture him.

It was on at a Sunday tea time I recall. Both my sister and I were terrified when the mad woman in the attic appeared and set fire to the place!

Stranger on the Shore. Black and white and shown at Sunday teatime, I think.

Stranger on the Shore. Black and white and shown at Sunday teatime, I think.

Acker Bilk’s lovely theme tune went on to top the charts. Was it about a young Frenchwoman who came over here?

There was a follow up, ‘Stranger……’ but without looking it up I can’t remember.
