Not heard of any of those 3 the milkman.

I doubt uk tv got any of those 3 certainly not the new zealand programme.

Anyone remember a show called the tribe started in 1989 think its a new zealand show.

After the films Convoy and Smokey & the Bandit came out, there were a few cash-in series on TV like this one I also remember:

Irritating DJ at a radio station who always got on everyone's nerves. Star Wars Dennis Lawson played the main man if I recall. It was funny for a time: circa 1985.

Kit Curran Radio Show. It was on in the early 80s yet no-one else my age seems to remember it

I remember it well! ....Well, when I say "well"... ???

the programmes i remember that leave people with blank faces as they have no recognition of them are

Tomfoolery -a 1970`s hanna and barbera type cartoon that was just made out of silly little bits it was on sunday midmornings before `the big match` with brian moore

another american cartoon but i cant remember ithis ones name but it about a group of kids who have a beach buggy and they drive it under something like a sun lamp and it shrinks them so they can go on adventures

a series that used to be on kids tv itv in the mid `70`s no idea what it was called ,for some reason i think it was on a friday evening, it was set in a guest house that was in the middle of nowhere bank robbers or something go there and take all the guests hostage to escape the police
one bit that sticks in my mind is someone calling the police by tapping on the little black buttons that the hand set sat ( what are they called?) on rather then using the dial to be quiet

and another mid `70`s kids show think this one was called the georgian house it was a museum that reverted to the time the house was built and the people who lived in it im sure someone from the present time gets trapped in the past

Oh yes, Tomfoolery! Inspired by the nonsense rhymes of Edward Lear! And it was for kids!

There are a number I could mention:
'Chico and The Man'- early '70s American sitcom about an amiable black guy working for a grouchy old white redneck; they had a sort of 'love / hate' relationship. First broadcast in '72.

Theme tune was by Jose Feliciano

Or the never repeated Sharpe Intake of Breath (phew!) with David Jason - who has only made one sitcom his whole life - called Fools & Horse Manure, which isn't true of course, but the bloody BBC wants us to think it is!!!

Ace TV show! Also, "The Top Secret Life Of Edgar Briggs", about an inept British secret service agent IIRC...

What about BBC childrens drama shows from the 70s: "KING CINDER" about a young speedway rider played by Peter Duncan and "BREAK IN THE SUN" a young girl (Nicola Cowper) who leaves London and goes on a barge to Dreamland Amusement Park at Margate.

Was there an ITV programme in the early 1970s called "PATHFINDERS" that was about a bomber squadron in World War 2 flying Lancasters?

Yes there was! A bit tedious, just like the Colditz series, but not too bad...

Now for some of mine

Soldier And Me
The Aeronauts (dubbed from French)
Motormouse And Autocat
Hope & Keen's Magic Bus

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

There was a kids book show starring Mel Smith called Smith and Goody from 1980. Was only on for one series.

The opening credits began with cartoon renditions of the presenters engaged in a friendly exchange:

Mel: Whatcha Bob
Bob: Whatcha Mel
Mel: Whatcha been up to?
Bob: Can't you tell?
Bob: I've been taking a look at a book
Bob: I've been taking a squint at the print
Bob: I've been worming my way through a paperback a day
Bob: and I'll tell you all about it if you're in-ter-es-ted
The chorus went something like:
"Good books, bad books and never been had books
"good books, bad books and sad books
There's a book about a plane that disappeared without a trace,
book about a man who came from outer space
Mel: Tell you what, Bob. What's next?

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

A few more I've just remembered:
Chopper Squad: Aussie series from the late '70s about a helicopter rescue team. A kind of Bodie & Doyle in the air.
Star Fleet: Jap puppet series about a crime fighting team similar to Thunderbirds. Except some of them got killed-off!

I remember Star Fleet well, especially as it was a continuing story rather then stand alone episodes.

I'll have to get it on DVD one day, The Battle Of The Planets is another I'd like to but it's a lot of money as there were 80 odd episodes.
