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?

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!

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.

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?

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.

Willy Russell, man's an absolute star.

Anyone remember this?

Wiki reckons 1987, 2 years later than Edge Of Darkness.
Brilliant play.

Could have sworn it was earlier, memory playing tricks.

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.
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.

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.
