Oh yeh, Battle of the Planets!
But, what about Rentaghost?
They've recently produced a second series of mysterious cities of gold..
A few good memories of TV would be ruined it they repeated then, loved manimal but suspect it's aged badly... The only thing I can think to add is Streethawk...
There was also either a movie or TV show I remember where the main character couldn't look at the sun after an accident in space, if he did it gave him enhanced abilities but at the cost of his life..
The Omega Man?
Sure there was a TV programme of that name as well as the Charlton Heston film - curly haired bloke, something to do with a digital watch and stopping time?
EDIT: Sorry, a quick Google suggests it was The Gemini Man I was thinking of.
And it was radiation, a digital watch and invisibility.
I bet the Six Million Dollar Man hasn't aged well.
Wonder if the original Starsky & Hutch is still funny?
And about time this came round again
Monkey dust. The greatest thing ever produced by BBC3. It can't be shown again as it predicted far to much.
Stookie, Supergran, Silas, Mysterious cities of gold, Ulysses.
Surely someone else here remembers Chelmsford 123?!
Looking after Jo Jo .

Chelmsford 123 was good, Rory McGrath and Jimmy Mulville.
Graham's Gang. Anyone remember Lux?
The old Flash Gordon would make a great comeback... It reminds me of childhood Christmases, the smell of tangies and a real tree...
Private Schultz......it was superb
Private Schulz is a BBC television comedy drama serial set mostly in Germany, during and immediately after World War II. It stars Michael Elphick in the title role and Ian Richardson playing various parts. Other notable actors included Tony Caunter, Billie Whitelaw, Billy Murray and Mark Wingett.
Over six one-hour episodes, it tells the story of a German fraudster and petty criminal who is forced against his will to serve in the SS. In a story based on the real, though unrealised, plot by the Germans known as Operation Bernhard, he persuaids his superiors to authorize a project to print counterfeit British five pound notes for the purpose of destroying the British economy. However, Schulz is primarily interested in stealing them.
Other elements of the story based on the history of the period include the Venlo incident, when two British intelligence officers were abducted from the (then neutral) Netherlands at the very start of the war, and Salon Kitty. This was a Berlin brothel which was secretly run by the SD, (the Sicherheitsdienst, the intelligence agency of the SS) for the purpose of spying on its wealthy clients, who were often prominent German government officials or military officers. Additionally, many of the main characters are real people (though occasionally under a different name).
The series also starred Billie Whitelaw as a prostitute working in 'The Salon Kitty', where German officers were secretly recorded by the SS in the prostitutes' bedrooms. Whitelaw's character claimed to have a psychological block that prevented her sleeping with any soldier below the rank of major.
I have just got hold of Edge of Darkness

+1 Chorlton and the Wheelies
Ren and Stimpy
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.
The Mysterious Cities of Gold
Anyone remember an old Lynda La Plante drama called Civvies. Had brothers in arms as the theme tune?
Terrahawks. That used to terrify me as a child.
Mav12 - Ah Supercar. Remember that I do. None of my mates have heard of it though.
I've got lovely die-cast metal models of Supercar, Fireball XL5 and Stingray downstairs. But then, I can remember the original series, and the predecessors, Torchy The Battery Boy and Four Feather Falls!
The One Game.
Anyone remember "Sky" from the mid 70's.
This terrified me when it was on
Still weird even now
Rentaghost
A childhood favourite of my brother's and mine.

Always wanted to see a second series of that , expected it to at least be repeated.
From my student days, favourites were
Dare to Believe
Monkey Dust
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
All wonderfully bizarre and never seen them on tv since.
Colin's Sandwich with Mel Smith
Filthy, Rich and Catflap
Brenden Chase

The young persons guide to becoming a rock star, absolutely hilarious!
Flying High, starred alan cumming a comedy about a spoof airline in Scotland.

I think this is one I was trying to remember. Is it a mid 80s channel 4 drama about 2 mates in the east end, one black, one white?
One Summer.
Private Schultz.
Johnny Jarvis.
Danger UXB.
A lot of these are not repeated cos they were truly crap
And a lot ARE being repeated, do you all have 4 TV channels or something?
Anyway, This Life
Too many to mention on here.
Dick Spanner PI. Robot detective, Gerry Anderson stop motion shorts.
I also remember Chelmsford 123
MASH was great
Littlest Hobo
Absolutely
The One Game
Neat and Tidy was brilliant as well
didn't Brian May do the music for starfleet or something?
I'd also like to add 'Jossy's Giants' - I bet you can remember the theme tune.
Stella Street
Water Margin

Wow Colin's sandwich. I'd forgotten about that but I remember it being great.

Game On.
Sapphire and Steel

Airwolf

+1 for Utraviolet although it was on BT Vision for a while at a quid an episode
Surprisingly, the tv series actually came first and was then adapted into a book. It was excellent though and would love to see it again. It has recently been made into a radio series and is [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radio4/posts/Neverwhere-returns ]on radio 4[/url] this Christmas.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.
Also agree with streethawk, airwolf and space 1999. And Round the Twist (original 80s/90s version of course).
Why have they never repeated Vision On?
Dogtanian as well.
Listen to the theme tune. Now listen to Elbow's "day like this".
There was also either a movie or TV show I remember where the main character couldn't look at the sun after an accident in space, if he did it gave him enhanced abilities but at the cost of his life..
That sounds like Northstar to me.
Dick Spanner PI. Robot detective, Gerry Anderson stop motion shorts.
Wasn't that shown as part of something else, some Channel 4 outing like The Tube or some such?
didn't Brian May do the music for starfleet or something?
Not exactly, he covered it. There's a 'Star Fleet Project' 12" single / EP thing, but it came [i]after[/i] the show.
Thanks Tijuana Taxi, I was about to suggest [i]Sapphire and Steel[/i].
I'd love to see [i]Neverwhere[/i] done properly, with a real budget, and proper monsters, not shonky wobbly looking ones. Neil has hinted that it may happen.
Monkey Dust and from the 70's Days Of Hope --both been politically gagged in our wonderfully free democracy 🙄
Champion the wonder horse
Banana splits
Mary, mongo and midge
Plus 1 for Banana Splits, but what the hell was it about, was everyone on drugs?
The young persons guide to becoming a rock star
That was ace!
Also, Vic and bob in catterick the Mary Whitehouse Experience and Pugwall.
Managed to find someone selling moody DVD copies of The Mary whitehouse Experience a couple of years ago, still brilliant.
Edit, gutted they didn't make more Dirk Gently as well
+1 for This Life
Managed to find someone selling moody DVD copies of The Mary whitehouse Experience a couple of years ago, still brilliant.
They never did do a proper realise on DVD which is a shame, but most of it is on youtube now, in fact I think I will go and watch some history.
I don't think Ripping Yarns has ever been repeated. I did have it on DVD, but it went missing when I moved to Germany 🙁
+1 Monkey Dust
Help, with Paul Whitehouse and Chris Langham. Superb series.
Another for Monkey Dust. Probably the most bleakly funny comedy I have seen. Too close to the bone, and very prophetic.
Monkey dust is great especially this one.
Brond, Channel 4, late 80s..
The Alan cumming/Forbes Masson show was called "the high life" I once did a panto loosely based on the same plot as one of the episodes. I say plot...
Jamie and the magic torch.
+1 for Sapphire and Steel - loved it!
Not a series, but does anyone remember Artemis 81? Very strange film with Sting in it and filmed partly in North Wales as I recall.
I think A Very Peculiar Practice is available on DVD but not sure.
Firefly
[url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tomorrow_People_(U.S._TV_series) ]"Tomorrow People" reboot - coming to Ch4 ?[/url]
Proper scary when I were a lad.
Anyone remember an old Lynda La Plante drama called Civvies. Had brothers in arms as the theme tune?
I was really, really looking forward to it, and I thought it was bobbins, a real disappointment.
+1 for all the shouts for MASH, though - bought the box set and am splowly getting through them, you can turn the laughter track off which makes it much, much funnier. 🙂
Wasn't Jamie and the magic torch repeated over and over again?
Happy days, after posting on this thread the mrs got me big and bob in catterick for Christmas. Didn't even know they'd released it 😀
Unfortunately it probably means she's spying on me 😡
Citizen Smith.
Fox, with Ray Winstone and Larry Lamb amongst others. 1980, only one series.
Not looked at five pages, but for me it will always be 'Big Jim and the Figaro Club'
Never ever seen it repeated.
I found Chelmsford 123 on 4OD! 😀
