Recollections may vary

Boys from The Black Stuff. Crackers.

Cracker not Crackers!

When the Boat comes In is still a good watch.

Love for Lydia and Shabby Tiger both disappointed me in recent years. The sound was not good and the acting wasn’t either TBH but I could have cried because I adored both years ago.

Pearl30 - Rock Follies! Now that was a bit of a groundbreaker, I loved it. The other actress was Charlotte Cornwell, I think.

Another series I loved was Tutti Frutti; tried to watch it again recently and it was such a disappointment although the cast was incredible(Robbie Coltrane, Emma Thompson, Richard Wilson to name but a few).

There was another good series, probably late 70’s ‘McKenzie’.

Think the leading actor was Jack Galloway, Scottish chap.

I found him very attractive back then.

Never seen it repeated, must look it up,

When I was about ten, I went with my friend to see The Court Jester with Danny Kaye. We loved it and sat there to see it round again!
I saw it with AC and GC on tv quite recently and everyone enjoyed it. It's so full of laughter and clever tricks and songs.

As teenagers friends and I thought the film Ryan's Daughter was wonderful - and very sexy. I watched it on Tele a few years ago and thought it was very very long!

I still like to watch The Likely Lads and I can never have too many viewings of Casablanca.

I always remember watching the original Poldark with Robin Ellis and Angharad Rees in the mid-70s. I loved it! It had romance, treachery, humour and Cornish scenery. My college friends and I were sharing a house. We would look forward to Sunday nights around the telly. No iPlayer! 😂

Tom Thumb - the first film I watched at the cinema and I still hum the soundtrack.

Madam X - watched it when I was 13, was still teary about it a couple of days later and can still describe the plot in its entirety.

The Bridges of Madison County - so moving to see the adult children discover the choice their mother made to prioritise her family over her lover.

I loved Adam Adamant, and would like to see that again. Perhaps it’s on Youtube. (Reminder to self - have a look)

We love When the Boat Comes in and have the box set to rewatch when we feel like it. Clocking Off is brilliant too. All those Northern actors who became very well known. Sarah Lancashire, Ricky Tomlinson, Siobhan Finneran, Phillip Glenister, Lesley Sharp.

What a great series that was pension pat. I remember that feeling of watching the clock and thinking " Oh please don't let the episode end yet"

I stayed up late on many occasions and remember watching The Rose Tattoo, think it was written by Tennessee Williams, I was quite young, did anyone else see it?

Anne of Green Gables on children’s (BBC?) tv in about 1953. It was so true to a book I loved. We didn’t have television so used to go round to a friend’s house.

Casablanca ‘we’ll always have Paris’

Fiddler On The Roof

Gone With The Wind

I wonder if what you (OP) saw was a different version? I've just googled for "Love for Lydia" and found this on imdb, which has a few short trailers if you just let them play, and it's definitely in colour.

As a teenager of about 14 I fell in love with the actor Robert Taylor in the film Ivanhoe, and was delighted when it was shown on TV ten or fifteen years ago.
What a disappointment! The acting was wooden and emotionless, and no-one was as good looking as I recalled in my memory.

Blake's 7 on TV Clunky sets but brilliant stories and acting.

Ah Blake’s 7! The last episode…

I remember going to the cinema in 1968 to see Up the Junction (Dennis Waterman, Suzy Kendall, Adrienne Posta and the brilliant Maureen Lipman). I've watched it countless times.
I also saw Far From the Madding Crowd in 1967 and watched the different tv versions. All good but the original film still my favourite.

I still love Funny Girl and Dead Poet's Society is another favourite

Yes Aldom! I agree. I love brief encounter too . The music in it is just wonderful. The other film I love is Remains of the day. Very touching

Many of the above. All time favourites that I watch over and over Jewel in the Crown, Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy- the Alex Guiness series, and Fortunes of War. I have the DVDs. Also loved War and Peace from the late 60s with Anthony Hopkins.

The Onedin Line. Wonderful music too, (Spartacus)
