Mooncat, it was a green cat. Also i think it was called Get Up And Go and had Beryl Reid on it.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

I used to love watching Tales by the Riverbank and wanted to but a DVD or two of the original series .... on discovering that each DVD was around £18 I plumped for the DVD of the updated version a feature length film with top rated voice over actors .

I put it on for my young granddaughter to loves Peppa Pig ...

Great start .... lovely photography , great settings and rather neat storyline THEN the creatures were introduced and I was horrified to see that they were stuffed animals who liked nothing like the characters they were supposed to be and moved like Spotty dog from the WoodenTops !!!

So disappointed ....

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

A short BBC2 cartoon called Little Duck Blue Feather, nobody seems to have heard of it and it's virtually impossible to ind out any info about it at all! Luckily someone on here remembered and reminded me of the title! I'm determined to solve the mystery! Does anyone remember Princess and the Goblins?

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Hey all. A TV show that I've never been able track down was about a young girl who went on a school trip to a museum (an art museum?) and somehow got trapped inside (by mysterious forces?). All I really seem to remember at this point is the opening scene in which she was yelling at her departing classmates through the tinted glass doors and nobody could see or hear her.

I saw it on PBS (public broadcasting) here in the US, probably between 1983 and 1987; in retrospect, it had the look of a late 70s show but I could be wrong. I'm asking here, because it recently occurred to me that many of the other shows I watched on PBS during that time period were actually Canadian, Australian, and British imports. ("Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings," science shows with Dr. Julius Sumner Miller, etc.)

Holmes and Yo-Yo: US sitcom from mid-70s shown on UK TV. A bumbling police detective is given a new partner who turns out to be an android. I can't recall too much but if the android's nose was pressed a polaroid photograph would be taken and would come out of his jacket breast pocket.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

if you knew some or any of the cast you could check up on everything they did acted in then you would find it.

OK, after some (really a lot more) searching I'm starting to think it might be ALICE TO NOWHERE (Australia, 1986.) "Might" because the synopsis on imdb.com is not quite identical to what I remember. However, there are enough similarities to make me suspect my memory - after all, it has been 30 years...

I cant think of it but might have saw it as i watched a lot of aussie shows thru the eighties.

or even do a wikipedia search for australian eighties AND NINETIES shows.

this is an australian miniseries that i watched and liked 20-30 years ago. The setting is a bus (postal service?) on a very very long route, like across the continent (if that is even possible), where one of the passengers is a criminal (an escaped convict?), except nobody knows just who it is. Until the final, extremely violent and dramatic, episode...

Would anyone remember the name?

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

This one is quite obscure. Does anyone remember a made for TV movie from 1969 called "The Immortal" starring Christopher George as a man whose blood has the property of making him immune from disease and old age? He is pursued by several people wanting to use his blood to keep themselves alive--the effects on other people of a transplant of George's blood are temporary, so they would need to keep him captive to ensure a constant supply. There was also a series between 1970 and 1971. I remember the TV movie but am not sure if the spin-off series was shown in the UK.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Thanks for the replies, guys. I seem to remember the Shaft TV series, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call them TV movies, was screened on Saturday nights--fairly late--in the ATV region. Madigan, I don't remember so well, but think it was also shown on the ITV network.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

I wondered if anyone remembered a couple of US series from the early/mid 70s that were spin-offs from films and appeared on UK television....

Madigan: Based on the 1968 cop film and Richard Widmark was again the star. I think they were around 75mins to fit into a 90min slot, but the series didn't last long.

Shaft: based on the blaxploitation films with Richard Roundtree as private eye John Shaft. Roundtree was again the star and like the Madigan series these were around 75mins long. This series also didn't last long.
