Currently started watching Extras in my lunch break. I'd forgotten how excellent it is/was, properly funny.
And as of a couple of weeks ago we've started rewatching The Sopranos, and it's ruining the rest of television for us all over again...
I Sky+ed a load of Shooting Stars off UK Gold and dip in occasionally. Still hilarious, especially the clips
Obviously not to everyone's taste (Drac?) and I don't really care!
Bodies on iPlayer. Apart from the mobiles and long sleeves on the wards it has aged very well, just give the Season 2 "Finale" a swerve, it's very below par.
Oh, and Early Doors. The police are priceless. To the regiment!
Currently binging rather unhealthily & adddictively on The Shield..........
Love Geordie jeans 😂
Oh, and Early Doors.
Do you like circuses? 🙂
Mitchell and Webb for the last few nights...
"COME ON BOFFINS, NOW LETS GET THIS SORTED!"
I want to get round to rewatching The Wire and The West Wing, unfortunately that's about 4 years worth of TV right there
Do you like circuses?
No, they're shite.
Currently binge-rewatching The Shield which is awesome! Picked up on something I hadn't noticed/considered before so I google it & it's something other people had wondered as well (does Dutch evolve into a serial killer himself by the end?)
Dr Who.
I'm not sure how many me and my 10 year old have watched, but we're running out now !
I do ask myself though, why are Blakes7 and the old Tom Baker Dr Who not on any TV ?
Rewatched loads of Henry Enfield a few weeks ago. Absolutely brilliant still and Tory Boy still relevant.
Shooting Stars was must see TV for me such random humour and some great sketches. Sorry to disappoint DezB
I want to get round to rewatching The Wire and The West Wing, unfortunately that’s about 4 years worth of TV right there
154 West Wings + 60 Wires = 214 episodes in total. At three episodes a night that's a mere 71.3 nights, so just over two months, and that's not even including any all day weekend binges. Kids these days, no work ethic... 😉
Aeronauts, or as it was originally Les chevaliers du ciel.
A real blast from school holidays when I was a child.
The Mirage IV @ Yorkshire Air Museum is impressive in a hard cold war way....
Daredevil S3 and Jessica Jones s2
Overdosed on the Netflix Marvel series and then chucked it without watching these.
Not necessarily "rediscovered" as I never undiscovered them, but I'm currently rewatching Buffy, Angel and Farscape.
I’m currently rewatching Buffy
For the 'plot' no doubt, you dirty boy 😉
I’ve just rediscovered Tripods on YouTube, is as awesome and rubbish as I remember it
Still Game, absolute genius. I've just got to the end of series 9 (I think it's only been shown on BBC Scotland so far) and that last episode I wasn't expecting it to get so dusty in here...
Place in the Sun. I like it, Wife hates it.
24. Seasons 1 had its high spots but had that dead middle half a dozen episodes when they didn't know if the series was going to be completed. S2 - S5 were brilliant. The others were a bit more variable.
Elementary bears a relook. Blacklist again had high spots but got patchy at times.
Watched The Prisoner (UK original series) recently. Hasn't dated too well.
Still never seen The Shield, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire, only seen the first 20 minutes of S1E1 of Game of thrones. Never saw Prison Break or Lost.
So much to look forward to.
Oooh nearly forgot, still got a soft spot for Dollhouse, season 1 was my favourite, Dichen Lachman, Eliza Dushku and Olivia Williams! Oh and Firefly as well for being brilliant, space cowboys in a Chinese influenced universe. Somebody should let that Whedon bloke make a movie.
Cougar - I never did Buffy or Farscape either. I've tried the latter but I can't get over the stupid flying muppet.
I'm currently re-watching Lost. Still weird but I now appreciate the characters more - and the long story telling.
Sorry to disappoint DezB
Happy there's another crossover! 🙂
I recently started watching Tour of Duty after it randomly came up on Amazon, TV series about Vietnam that ran from 1987-90, remember staying up late as a young man to watch it and re-watching it now brings it back.
Not rediscovered as I've never seen it before, but inspired to watch The Prisoner after visiting Portmerion recently!

Place in the Sun.
Watching old series of that would be a little odd 😆
Oh, and Early Doors. The police are priceless. To the regiment!
Phil and Nige. They're based on and named after two long since retired community beat bobbies who worked in Stockport who had a somewhat colourful reputation. A good mate of mine remembers them from when he first joined in the late 80's and apparently the characters weren't very far off being accurate portrayals of the real thing.
Californication !!
Absolutely brilliant.
I do ask myself though, why are Blakes7 and the old Tom Baker Dr Who not on any TV ?
Not sure Blakes 7 ever got repeated since early 80s. A shame really. I've watched those to death on DVD. Can't get enough of "maximum power" Servalan. Classic Doctor Who has a run on some of the more obscure satellite channels at times, and last couple years Twitch has been streaming every available episode back to back.
I don't rediscover much old stuff as that's all I ever watch anyway. I'm stuck in the 70s / 80s and maybe 90s mostly for TV. Certainly post 2000 so much is dire or overlong and drawn-out (odd thing to say given I'll watch 6 to 10 part very padded episodes of old 60s/70s Doctor Who!).
Of modern stuff, only Doctor Who, and enjoyed BSG reboot even though it dragged a bit in places. Even Game of Thrones I got bored with. Stuck on 7th series and can't be bothered. Not sure I'd ever re-watch it.
Blackadder - rewatch endlessly. Red Dwarf the same. The Prisoner also. People I know always banging on about this or that new series and I just don't have the time or energy to invest in it.
Anyway, one rediscover on my list though, but yet to do... A Very Peculiar Practice. Got it, I just haven't got round to watching it. Will be first I've seen it since it was shown (mid 80s I think). Loved it at the time. Very weird.
"Not sure Blakes 7 ever got repeated since early 80s."
Blake's 7 definitely got repeated on one of the cable channels around 2000. It's not as good as you remember.
For the ‘plot’ no doubt, you dirty boy 😉
Faith.
Sigh.
Cougar – I never did Buffy or Farscape either. I’ve tried the latter but I can’t get over the stupid flying muppet.
Yeah, the Henson creatures were a barrier to entry for some. It's worth persevering with though, it's some of the finest sci-fi ever made (Firefly notwithstanding).
enjoyed BSG reboot even though it dragged a bit in places
I really enjoyed BSG, but the ending was abject twaddle.
Of modern stuff, only Doctor Who
I switched channels over the weekend to avoid something and the Matt Smith Dr. Who was on. I wuz riveted! And it certainly wasn't the Dr. or the plot. Dirty boy. Series link set 😆
Edge of Darkness....Nuff Said
if were recommending old tv series, I loved "Better off Ted" and "Life" (Damian Lewis series) though the ending was bodged as it was cut a series short.. I'd re-watch them both but can't find them (unless I want to pay).
As for farscape, yes I loved it but couldn't get my partner past the flying muppet, to re-watch it with her. I did watch all of stargate series (Universe was the best of that, another great series cancelled while shite still get produced) a few years ago and enjoyed watching them add in the farscape crew (well 2 of them)
The Avengers. With Diana Rigg.
Need to go back to Deadwood before the movie lands...
Kojak.
My kids were too young to appreciate The IT Crowd first time round, having a hoot watching it again with them now.
Baywatch.
No, I’m not joking. The remastered HD versions on Amazon Prime are a great bit of easy watching.
Not so much rediscovered but watch over and over again:
Father Ted
IT Crowd
Phoenix Nights
Fast Show
Porridge
Blackadder
Do I care if its not highbrow or anyone else likes it.... No but it makes me & the wife happy 🙂
The A-Team.
I get in from work just before 5 every day and there's a double bill starting on 5 Spike.
When I was a small child it was an action packed thrill ride. Now, it looks pretty terrible but I still love it. I love the wonky sets that explode every time someone bumps into them. I love the clunky fight scenes and old fashioned practical stunt work. It's also good for spotting well known actors who are either on their way up, or down, in their careers.
My girlfriend pretends she hates it but laughs her head off at Mad Murdock.
Kojak.
Kojak is excellent.
Mr overshoot is welcome round ours for a play date anytime. All of that list +1!
I also love old top of the pops ,young ones & the league of gentlemen.
I’ve just watched Misfits again - it was great.
A couple of years ago I rewatched Blake’s 7 - it wasn’t.
Next on my rewatch list is Generation Kill, which I reckon is the best tv I’ve ever seen.
