Wagon Train, Bonanza, Rawhide, Cheyenne and Sugar Foot were all favourites in our house. Also The Clampetts.

Oh yes! Cagney and Lacey, Duchess of Duke Street.

Has anyone mentioned Cagney and Lacey? That was my treat on a Friday evening when MrP was out and the babies were in bed.

Tomorrows World- and also (can't remembers the name of it - might have been All Our Yesterdays), this would never date as it showed footage from 25 years ago. Would love that to come back.

Yes, that’s it! Thanks.

GSMInspector Lockhart was no hiding place,also had a young Johnny Briggs ( Mike Baldwin from Corrie) as his sergeant.

Little House On The Prairie was a favourite of mine. I even bought the Box Set of episodes. Some of my grandchildren loved watching them with me too.

I used to really like Callan with the lovely Edward Woodward and Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)

You can watch the Waltons on Amazon Prime.

I liked Dixon of Dock Green too, also Inspector Lockhart from New Scotland Yard, can’t remember the programme’s name. I would probably find them very tame today, but not violent or full of swearing.

Some of the older programmes (and movies) have dated badly and are quite a disappointment when you see them now.

The one I'm LOVING at the moment is Terry Wogan's interviews from the 1980s and 1990s. They are amazing! So many interesting people giving proper interviews. It's been on every week and is a highlight of my viewing. Nothing like that on TV these days.

Tomorrow's World. I loved learning all about new gadgets etc, and in these digital days it would be even more fascinating.
I do watch Click, but still would like TW back, please BBC.

Great choices Sago. One of my favourites was White Horses, I loved it. So I guess I’d also love to see Moonlighting, Red Dwarf, The Young Ones, The Persuaders, Fawlty Towers and Tomorrow’s World.

Looking back to the days of only 3/4 television channels and no recordings it was such a thing to stay in and watch your favourite TV shows.

As a little girl I loved Val Doonican in his rocking chair, getting older it was Call my Bluff with Frank Muir, I can remember Dixon of Dock Green, and Z Cars.
Saturday afternoons I think were The Golden Shot and I remember desperately looking forward to Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty.
If I could resurrect any show it would probably be The Waltons, I would love to sit and watch it with my Granddaughter, I think she would really enjoy it.
