Re: Tv programmes before your time

Remember all of the above, including the first Dr played by William Hartnel, Rawhide airs on TCM, Peyton place was a very popular U.S soap on itv.
I was born 1954 so i'm talking about shows like "Watch with mother", Billy bunter, bonehead, four feather falls a gerry anderson production, lone ranger, the range rider, champion the wonder horse, ripcord, whirlybirds, circus boy with mickey dolenze,
Too young to see Quatermass, fabian of the yard, four just men, the bucaneers, ivanhoe, the epilogue a 5 min' religous message before closedown, or anything broadcast after 7.30pm in the early '60s.
Fond memories of my childhood with only 2 channels to watch and remember they didn't come on air till 5.00pm with childrens hour.

Re: Tv programmes before your time

My late father was a big fan of the Quatermass TV programmes.
I got the DVD boxed set and imagined him watching it on a tiny old B&W TV.

That's one sci-fi show that deserves to be relaunched - provided they keep to the spirit of the original.

I remember there was a partial remake of The Quatermass Experiment in 2005 on BBC4, which was performed live & had the interesting addition of having Pope John Paul II's death announcement flashed up on screen during the middle of it.

I didn't see it though, but have the box set, which the Dr Who Restoration Team did a great effort to clean up.

Quatermass was groundbreaking in its time '50s on bbc, there had been nothing like it before and people were spellbound.
