+1000maxtorque - MemberThe 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!
CaptainFlashheart - MemberRusty, 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.
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.
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 .
Prospects
Spaced
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
