Best 1970's TV Program?

Z Cars. Obviously.

Oops wrong forum, sorry!

What decade was Crackerjack

Bagpuss.

The Sweeney.

Great theme tune and I was only allowed to watch it very very occasionally if my mum and dad forgot I hadn’t gone to bed.

Blake 7 or it could be Space 1999

The Sweeney.

+1

Have watched it all on DVD in recent years and as well as being great TV it provides a poignant document of a London past in an era that I just about remember.

I loved The Sweeney but I 2nd Kuco – Blakes Seven FTW!

Servalan made me feel funny – down there! 😯

Was only just the 70’s!

OMG- Animal Magic! How could I have forgotten the legend that was Jonnie Morris. Humming the theme tune now.

Reggy Perrin, Rising Damp, Porridge, Jackanory, Open University, On the Buses, Dads Army.

Porridge

Who remembers who Barry Newman was?

Who remembers who Barry Newman was?

Wasn’t he a crap builder?

You all obviously missed Fantasy Island.

For me the start of the 70s was animal magic and cracker jack by the end it was the sweeney and hammer horror .

I’d forgotten Rising Damp and Porridge….

This is a more difficult question than I first thought!

Well I don’t think he ever got round to finishing that house! 🙂

M*A*S*H and Porridge. Still stand the test of of time.

I’d probably have to go for M*A*S*H.

I’ll always have a soft spot for Metal Mickey….

He was Mr Saturday Night before Ant & Dec came along…

Porridge

End of thread…. For even the best TV programme of all time

Brief, but reasonable case TBH.

Superstars?

The theme tune was ace too.

Monty Python, Top of the Pops, Whistle test

Benny hill
Aint half hot mum
professionals
rising damp
RHUBARB AND CUSTARD !

These two just about scrape in.

Saphire and Steel gave me nightmares.

MASH and Porridge- In the Top Ten. And Morecombe and Wise had some unbelievable moments, both funny and agonisingly awful. I loved it as a kid.

Cloudburst with Ram Pandit, because we watched it in schooltime on the big telly

Any of the Gerry Anderson marionette programs,

Departmnet S,

The Persuaders

I’ve just happily giggled through a whole episode of Dad’s Army

Don’t tell SaxonRider..he’ll be in for a shock.

pure comedy gold

M*A*S*H is a good call. Forgot about it, but it was genuinely superb.

Six Million Dollar Man for me. We have the technology to rebuild him!
The Dukes of Hazard deserves an honourable mention

Ivor the Engine.

Who’d have guessed it, it was brilliant decade, add The New Avengers to the list. Oh and the Rockford Files.

Pigeon Street – or was that 1980s only?

Till death do us apart,

Love thy neighbour,

Madame is reading over my shoulder again: Star Trek she says.
