[Closed] Stuff which never gets repeated...

'The tomorrow people' was good till people started taking it seriously.
'Johnny Jarvis' never got a repeat, or 'Deadhead'

Jim'll Fix It........

Moonlighting

Moonlighting

Good point. I had a massive crush on Cybil Shepherd at that time. As long as they don't bother showing the ones where it went all weird and dream-like.

why was the Goodies never repeated?

Blot on the Landscape - that's it ! Quality programme!

Hardcastle and McCormick. You want random, you can't handle the random.

The High Life....

Annoyed the air steward brother no end. One of the actors has a fairly impressive cv in hollywood now.

Trapdoor

Count Duckula

My favourite EVER tv show was a thing with some old artist geezer who used to spend about 20 (screen) minutes showing you how a famous artist created one of their works. Talked a bit like a snooker commentator; all very soporific.

I used to bloody love it, although it all seemed a bit Rolf Harris (in a not pervy way) - I heard someone say years later on the radio that he was eventually thought to have possibly been creator of some genius-level forgeries.

I remember thinking Chelmsford 123 stuck out a mile.

Dark Place
Sapphire and Steel
The Highwayman

Blott on the landscape! Great shout - David Suchet, Geraldine James, George Cole, that bizarre mouth-trumpet theme (I could do a poor version of it right now) all encased in the brilliant flavours of Tom Sharpe farce.

Great thread. All of the above. But.

The Adventure Game.

Ripping Yarns

I remembered the name of the show, it was interceptor. 'take me down mikey'

Firefly should be on repeat
Eldorado should quite rightly never grace TVs again

Any of the Dennis Potter stuff.
I'd like to see Karaoke and Cold Lazarus again.

The Water Margin (loved the theme tune as a boy) & tutti frutti here too.
Also.::: One Summer,Chocky and The Young ones.
& Oz .

One Summer was great.

Remember Going Out?
Loved the theme tune.

There was a fishing programme once, a contest in the wilds. One dude was a boring sort into that dull coarse English fishing, the other dude was a faux laird into game fishing. Was great, but never repeated.

There were a couple of Comic Strip comedies I've never seen again. One was a detective based one, where the old style TV detective was killing all the others off - everyone was a thinly disguised version of the real ones (DI George Shouter of the yard, Bonehead and Foyle etc. seem to stick in the mind)

The other was I think a version of Nuts in May, although it's entirely possible it might just have been Nuts in May. Which is also genius....

I noticed Cold Lazarus is on 4OD.

Firefly is on sy fy channel all the time 🙂

All the 80s action ones like fall guy, airwolf etc. Think they might just have aged too much.

There are (beleive it or not) some seasons of top gear NOT on Dave..

Similarly... Paint along with Nancy

There were a couple of Comic Strip comedies I've never seen again.

Its weird that Comic Strip stuff doesn't reappear. I looked at buying it on DVD but apparently theres some odd cuts and edits in the episodes - not reworking (like a directors cut) but almost as if bits have been censored. Ruins them apparentlyl

So I was going to say 'Comic Strip Presents'

But now you've said it I'll say.....

Set of Six
Groovy Fellas
Gilberts Fridge

The Shadow Line.

Basically a cops and drug trafficking show. Featured two utterly terrifying performances. Stephen Rea plays Gatehouse, who's basically George Smiley's evil twin. Raphe Spall plays the heir to the drugs empire. He's this sadistic, capricious, man-child savant. Reminded me of Miranda Richardson as Queenie in Blackadder!

Also had Christopher Eccleston in it. Got increasingly silly and incoherent towards the end unfortunately, but the performances are very memorable.

Speaking of Smiley, although Tinker Tailor gets the odd outing, I don't remember ever seeing the (equally worthwhile) Smiley's People.

Early doors

Well worth looking it up if you like The Royle Family

Don't remember Going Out....
Young Spall's turn in Shadow line stole the show IMO. He was terrifying. I get the queenie reference too.

OP just found all the episodes of Chelmsford 123 on the channel four app. Good times

On every day. Gold channel, I think.

Pixie & Dixie
Autocat and Motomouse
Sinbad Junior
Marine boy

There was a BB2 italian detective show that I liked called Zen a few years ago, never got a second series. Bit strange that the lead role didn't even attempt an accent, but had some genuine italian co-stars.

I think all the stuff like Blue Thunder, Airwolf, McGyver would look really dated now.

The Littlest Hobo.

I believe it was shot on video tape that has now degraded and may be lost forever.

How about
Coupling
Joking Apart
Tales of the Golden Monkey
BJ and the Bear.

+1 for Trapdoor, Gilbert's Fridge, Spaced and Robin of Sherwood (although have seen some of those on one of the UK digital channels from time to time).
