Same here. The title didn't ring any bells but that theme song brought it all back.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Yes Huckleberry, another classic.
Here's a few more for you to jog the memory FOREST RANGERS, THE BEACHCOMBERS, worth googling. and thinking of school holidays mornings who can forget the haunting theme of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE.

Huckleberry Finn seemed to be shown in the summer holidays for years, along with The Monkees & The Pink Panther show.

Longstreet - Wasn't he a blind cop?

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Longstreet was an insurance investigator who had been blinded in a bomb explosion. Bruce Lee was in a few episodes and taught Longstreet martial arts.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

I do remember Kit Curran. Does anyone remember a comedy series--ITV--from the mid-80s called 'Mog' about a burglar hiding out in a psychiatric hospital, pretending to be mentally ill to avoid the police. It starred Enn Reitel and I think it was shown on sunday nights after the late news.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Yes, I don't think it lasted very long. I seem to remember it was shown in the summer in the same slot that 'The New Statesman' was shown in on sunday late nights.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

I've been searching my memory for more little-remembered TV series:

Alexander the Greatest: early 70s sitcom about a teenage boy and his family. It may have been shown late but as I was probably 10 or 11 when it was on then it may not have been that late.

Arthur of the Britons: early 70s retelling of King Arthur for children. Very muddy setting, trying to be more accurate to dark ages Britain. Starred Oliver Tobias and may have had a comic strip in Look-in.

Bleep and Booster: five-minute cartoons shown during Blue Peter in the early-mid 70s. Bleep was an alien and booster a boy astronaut.

Casanova '73: risque 1973 sitcom shown late on sundays I think. Starred Leslie Phillips. A bit controversial at the time I recall.

Come back, Mrs Noah: Mollie Sugden starred in a sitcom about a woman accidentally stranded on a British space station. Probably from around mid-late 70s.

Crystal Tipps and Alistair: Slightly trippy early 70s cartoon for children about a girl--Crystal Tipps-- and her dog, Alistair. No dialogue, just music.

Don't drink the Water: after On the Buses ended, Stephen Lewis reprised his Blakey role, this time retiring to Spain. Pat Combs played his sister. Probably circa 1974 or so.

The Family: controversial fly-on-the-wall documentary following the Wilkins family. Ten a penny nowadays but groundbreaking at the time. Around 1974 I would say.

Gangsters: originally a Play for Today production that was spun into 2 series. Violent story of crime in Birmingham. Maurice Colbourne was the hero. Made in mid-70s.
