[Closed] Great TV shows that i ve never seen repeated..

The Tripods.

The Tripods was ace.

I suspect a rerun would be awful.

That's me off to YouTube

The Goodies.
Striker!
One Summer.
Going Out.
Scully.
The Boys from the Blackstuff.
The Flipside Of Dominic Hide.

Starfleet, just brilliant

The Tripods was ace.

I suspect a rerun would be awful.

That's me off to YouTube

Just a few seconds in, future, no technology, massive tripod scooping up a baldy young fella into its belly.

I stand corrected.

A Very Peculiar Practice
Bodies

Corornation Street.

Pogles Wood

But it's OK, we got the video 🙂

EDIT - and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace - I only found it towards the end of the series and wanted more.

Neat and Tidy

Very very strange* channel 4 series. I loved Tina Tidy.

*in a good way

+1

Going Out

Ultraviolet
Space, Above and Beyond.

Children of the Stones
Pushing Daisies
Dead Like Me
Wonderfalls

Blakes Seven never gets repeated either.

Joe 90 was endlessly repeated in the 90s...

GHOS****CH! Could never be repeated in case it traumatised another generation

Girlfriend says..
Moomins,
Willow the wisp,
And stig of the dump....

Twin Peaks

I watched it on BBC 2 the first time round but can't remember it being repeated. It may have been but given its popularity and cult status, its pretty low key

Dad's army

Steptoe and Son,

Till death does us apart,

Love thy neighbour,

HI DE HI,

The Secret Service, Gerry Andersons one,

STINGRAY,

FIREBALL XL5,

The Lakes
Civvies

Green Wing

Man From Atlantis
Logan's Run
Manimal

But on rewatching I realise they were never repeated for a reason.

+ another for Tripods. Didnt one of the young actors die, stopping them from making another series?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tripods_%28TV_series%29

suggests I might be confused, but still not sure.

Nobody I know (of my age) remembers a show about someone who built a rocket in a scrapyard and thinks I am tripping, thanks Wikipedia for retaining my sanity.

Noseybonk

Crossroads

Fingermouse.

Nogin the Nog,

Muffin the Mule,

Trumpton,

Camberwick Green,

Mission impossible,

Department S,

Z CARS,

SOFTLY SOFTLY,

Juliet Bravo,

The Goodlife

Tripods. Scared the bejesus out of me as a kid...

Fingermouse.

Fingerbobs (Fingermouse was just one of the characters) 🙂

Edit: Just googled it and apparently there was a spinoff series called Fingermouse

Two that really stand out for me would be:

The Changes - One from my childhood and each episode was eagerly anticipated. Very dark for the time and target audience.

Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman's excellent book made into a BBC serial. Obviously done on the cheap but fantastic nonetheless. Managed to get the DVD on import but never seen it repeated on terrestrial.

Shame, both were brilliant.

*Slopes away from thread in shame* 😀

Edit: *Struts back in!* (you must be older than me) 8)

Doomwatch, poor actking but covered lots of topoics that are relevant now,

The Burke Special with James Burke, really intresting science programes,

Northern Exposure

The Old Men At The Zoo.
The Undersea World Of Jaques Cousteau.

One Summer +1
Tutti Frutti .
Chocky. (Ha)

One Summer was brilliant! I tried to get it on DVD. Apparently it's never been released 🙁

I heard somewhere that Tutti Frutti was going to be repeated, but that was a few years ago, so I guess it's still being sorted out.

Didn't the Tripods finish part way thru I seem to remember at the time that I'd read all three books but it finished after the second book?

Joe 90 I received the DVD box set of all the episodes one Xmas as a present 🙂

The Fast Show. Almost certainly has been repeated, but not as much as you might expect given how popular it was.

Maid Marian and her Merry Men. Mainly due to fond memories of having a massive teenage crush on Kate Lonergan.... 😉

automan

streethawk

streetwise

Anyone remember Brimstone?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brimstone_(TV_series)

Automan. Had a green cursor that buzzed around and made his car/bike/boat.

Manimal! Where he could turn into any animal, mental stuff.

Edit: beaten to it.

The Fast Show. Almost certainly has been repeated, but not as much as you might expect given how popular it was.

Also
Clarence

I'd like to see Clarence.
And The Magnificent Evans.

Missed them both when they were on originally.

Fast Show?

Hell yes!

Also, Goodness Gracious Me.

Village of the Damned, the original version with Morris Minors and old Norfolk vicarages in the fog.
And "Spaced"!

V - not the remake, but original series.
+1 Northern Exposure
Flash Forward (maybe a new thread for programmes we'd like to see another series of...it was left on a cliffhanger & then cut before series 2)

You'd think some channel such as E4 would stick this on to fill the graveyard shift. Stoners and students'd be all over it. By all accounts not even repeated in Australia (that the aussie i asked had seen, anyway).

Our form tutor at school (media studies, admittedly) ran a countdown to the series starting, encouraging us all to watch - must be good!

See also: The adventures of Pete & Pete, a truly wonderful show (it's on youtube and still ace)

special mention to the other weird and great nickelodeon et al shows of the 90s- Grimmy, Rude Dog & The Dweebs, Rocko's Modern Life (now available on dvd), Johnny Bravo, those odd alien-inside-the-head MTV cartoons, Round The Twist etc etc

+1 for Bodies. Awesome drama with some great humour.

Brendon Chase from the book by B..B. Boy's own stuff.

Living inside the trunk of a tree and hunting for food with a .22 rook rifle. Brilliant.

Be nice to see some repeats of M*A*S*H without the editing and the laugh track.

Oh, Colditz, Wings and Secret Army, forgot those.

And the TV versions of the MR James stories could do with another airing too.

Murder One - first (very long!) series was fantastic
Profit - I don't know anyone else who watched this, kind of 'American Psycho the serial' but with a less deluded, more driven protagonist. It was barking but I loved it.

Daktari and Skippy might be a laugh!

Noseybonk

Was that actually a series? I remember it as one of the sketches on Jigsaw.

Anyway. The Adventure Game. I'll close the thread now, shall I?

Rusty, I caught some repeats of MASH on a recent trip to the US. I'd forgotten quite how brilliant it was. One episode involved a man shot on Christmas Eve. Death imminent, clock ticking, they wouldn't let him die on Christmas Day.

Stunning stuff. I cried like a baby.

It'd be totally Mexico if they repeated Nathan Barley.

Danger Mouse, count duckula and I'd like to see Happy Days back. Seems wrong that kids don't know who the fonz is.
+1 for Manimal too. Loved that show.

Edit: just thought that Lassie and littlest hobo need to make a come back too.

Northern Exposure + 1
Survivors (the original one)
Day of the Triffids (with John Dotrice)
Green Wing + 1

The Box of Delights. No idea if it was repeated or not. Creepily seasonal.

Soap..

back then - soap

What was the programme set in a pub, with two coppers who came in and got free drinks, Mark ? Was in it (the one who had been on Strictly), possibly Caroline Aherne. It was on the BBC

The Avengers, Mrs Peel, Honour Blackburn, and leather jeans and boots.

Quatermass.

Manimal
Tales of the golden monkey
Bring me back alive
Silas
Kick start
Mr Ben
Chorlton and the wheelies
Moomins +1

Ulysses 31

Think I have some episodes on VHS somewhere...

Woody - early doors

Woody - Early Doors. Quality.

Ulysses - forgot about that!

What was the other one, was quite similar, that had a bunch of kids flying a big gold eagle ship, the name rigadon rings a bell as one of the characters.

Edit - hmmm rigadon was from around the world with wily fogg. Mysterious cities of gold was what I was thinking of!.

Dogtanian as well.

Cheers, the other programme ii miss is Police Squad

Trap Door - truly great.

Anyone remember Chance in a Million?

Also like to see Monkey return and tales of the water margin.

Kickstart
Smack the pony
Space 1999

Also like to see Monkey return and tales of the water margin.

Might as well close the thread now

Murun Buchstansangur

Nobeer -
possibly Battle of The Planets?

....Or Mysterious Cities of Gold?

Both awesome

Saying that I did see MCOG repeated a couple of days ago!

True Flashy, it's still a wonderful show - quite anti-establishment in it's own way.
Doubt they'd be allowed to make it these days.
