The horror film Salvage (shown on BBC1 again last week) was filmed in what was once Brookside Close in 2009

Help !!!

I keep getting flashbacks of a TV series about 10 years ago - where a guy either builds or rebuilds a helicopter from scratch .... In his garage !! The guy had been on a few series before that , usually helping people out that had been conned or cheated by a company or similar ...

Anyone ??

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Yes i do, they wanted to build a rocket,go to the moon and bring all the junk back as salvage. These 55min American shows aired in kids tv slots around the regions, other titles include Voyage to the bottom of the sea amongst other Irwin Allen series and Project u.f.o. and a short lived series called Sierra, don't forget C.H.I.P.S. think this was on Saturdays iirc.
When itv began showing family shows from 5.20 in the afternoons as opposed to kids progs a whole host of U.S. series came to be including Me and the chimp, Happy days and its various spin-offs, The smith family starring Henry fonda and one of my faves The Partners starring Don Addams of Get Smart fame, hope iv'e jogged a few memories with these titles.

I REMEMBER WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED IT WAS GETTING AXED IT STARTED TO DO VERY WELL.

BUT THE DECISION TO AXE IT WENT AHEAD.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

I'd forgotten about Salvage 1! All I seem to remember from it was the name and the flags in the intro.

Yeah Eldorado, the show with dodgier sets than Crossroads BITD, I only seem to remember one character from it though, Marcus Tandy. He was an object of ridicule with my brother and I, slicked back hair and a yuppy wanker if I remember properly.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Darren, I remember ElDorado and all the hype surrounding it, and also how fast it sank. I think the only character I can recall is Fizz--hope I've got that right.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

I loved ElDorado !!
I loved the setting plus there were some gorgeous women

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

I remember there was a good documentary about Eldorado a few years ago.

There was a lot of messing about between the original concept & it going in front of the camera.

Also a lot of the actors were newcomers without much experience of working on TV.

I did think launching it in the summer was a bad idea, when audiences are low because people are on holiday.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

There was a kids' show in the 90s (I think) which was called The Quest (I think) - Canadian (I think). Can't find any info!

It was about a young boy who hurt his head (somehow) and was knocked unconscious. The story revolved around him running around a world in his head, in order to escape back to reality...

YES YOU ARE INDEED CORRECT YOU SMART BOY.
PLAYED BY KATHY PITKIN.


Although the show featured many professional actors, such as Patricia Brake and Jesse Birdsall, many of the cast were inexperienced actors whose limitations were clearly exposed on such a new and ambitious project (German-born Kai Maurer had apparently never acted on stage or screen previously before being cast in the show). Prior to filming, some of the cast did not even know what a read-through was; the acting was derided as amateurish.while the attempt to appear more EUROPEAN' by having people speaking other languages without subS or bizarre/unconvincing accents was met by viewers with incomprehension and ridicule.

IT TOOK THE PLACE OF WOGAN ON MONDAY WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY.

RAN FROM JULY 6TH 92 TO JULY 9TH 93.

Darren, I remember ElDorado and all the hype surrounding it, and also how fast it sank. I think the only character I can recall is Fizz--hope I've got that right.
