    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?

    Monkey dust. The greatest thing ever produced by BBC3. It can’t be shown again as it predicted far to much.

    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.

    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!

    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.
