Anyone else remember Dead Head?
A very noir-ish four part thriller originally shown on BBC 2 in 1986, but has never been repeated.
The end-music - a creepy vocoder version of Pussycat Pussycat, came back to me recently and I had to look it up on YouTube. It starts around 1:50 in this clip:

Sitting Pretty John Sullivan's sitcom about a woman who has to move back with her family after her husband died.

It was hyped up to be the next big thing but didn't really live up to this.

I remember Hello Cheeky. It had a longer and more successful run on BBC radio from 1973 to 1979, and featured Barry Cryer, John Junkin and Tim Brooke-Taylor. Quite a bit of its humour would probably raise a few eyebrows now, but I tuned in whenever it was on. It was a quick-fire sketch show with Messers Cryer, Junkin and Brooke-Taylor playing various characters and sometimes themselves.

Hello Cheeky was mentioned in the Radio Times Guide to TV Comedy and I am certain that Lewisohn mentioned it as being on at 9.00 pm circa 1976.

Crackerjack is something that lots of people remember because it ran for years - I suppose that the Stu Francis era would be most memorable as it was close to when it ended in 1984.

A game show a bit like Finders Keepers but with adults. The set was like the interior and exterior of a house. Can't remember it's name though

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Based on a radio show, IIRC...

Was it called "Whose House?" and was on in 1999? I suppose that it was like Through the Keyhole meets those daytime house makeover programmes.

It occupied the slot that The Weakest Link later had.

I believe I am wrong though.

It was not to be confused with Fingermouse which I remember a lot better.
