Re: What old programmes would you like released on dvd?

I agree with Wil - Think Of A Number with Johnny Ball was brilliant! If all maths teachers were that fascinating we'd all be very very clever.

I'd like to see a DVD of "Stop It and Tidy Up" it was a cartoon with characters all based on the things your parents say to you when you're little, there was "Wash Your Face, Don't Do That, and the Big, Bad I Said NO!"
Am I on my own there or does anyone else remember that?

apologies if you're aware of this...but the DVD set (13 episodes) is available on Amazon...in case you wanted 'em!

Cool. Now my friends will finally get why seeing the Worksop train at Nottingham station makes me laugh.

I'd love to see on dvd:

The Changes - because I saw it when I was around 3/4 and parts of it really stayed with me.

Perfect World - with Paul Kaye. A fantastic sitcom from the late 90's. I emailed Tiger Aspect but they have no plans to release it.

Falcon Island- 80's Australian Kids Adventure show set on an island, cracking theme tune.
Children's TV -* Fables of La Fontaine to The Flinstones
DUB BE GOOD TO ME: Those imported kids' programmes in full

Hardwicke House- Banned 80's Comedy starring Roy Kinnear, Rik Mayall, Ade Edmonson, Keith Allen (Lily's Dad) and loads more sitcom stars from that era. Taken off the air after 2 episodes the show caused such an uproar that central television reputedly wiped the tapes, or did they.....?
Some Of The Corpses Are Amusing

Seaview- Yvette (I think I hear something) Fielding stars in this guest house set six parter from the 80's featuring romance adventue and 11 space invader machines.
"Seaview" (1983)
Seaview (TV series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Paradise Club- Lesley Grantham starred as an ex-con night club owner whose brother (Don Henderson of 'Bulman' fame) a priest, was trying to make him go straight. Loads of elaborate hesits ensued, think of McGyver meets McVicar.

Boys From The Bush- Tim Healy as an ex pat private eye living in Sydney, notable for the Charachter of Arlene, Tim Healy's daughter from hell played with aplomb by ex soap star Nadine Garner.
"Boys from the Bush" (1991)


The Other One- Long Forgotten Gem starring Michael Gambon as a business man holidaying alone and Richard Briers as the know it all holiday companion who latches on to him. Duty Free for people with a sense of humour.
"The Other One" (1977)

and in no other particular order,

Educating Marmalade. (Charlotte Coleman still Rocks!)

Hope these bring back a few memories. If anyone can track down Falcon Island or Hardwicke house I'd love to get a copy of either one.

The Wonder Years - Absolutely wonderful programme about a guy called Kevin Arnold who narrates the story of his childhood life between 1968-1973. Although this setting is well before my time I think its such a fantastic show with a grown up Kevin telling us about his experiences during his younger days and what he learned from them. I only really started watching this proper when Channel 5 aired it on a sunday morning about 6-7 years back, I think you can now see it in the evening on one of the ITV channels.

Unfortunately though, because of the amount of music tracks which are used throughout the show, The Wonder Years has never been released on DVD in all its glory. This show would just not be the same without its music though, hopefully one day somebody will be able to find the cash to pay for the music rights as I'm sure many people would love to buy this on DVD.

I have to mention one of the final lines spoken by adult Kevin in the final episode though, its just an awesome line - “I remember a place, a town. A house like a lot of houses. A yard like a lot of other yards. On a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years, I still look back, with wonder.”

The Wonder Years DVD

Hi Palazzo,
This site is selling the complete set of Wonder Years DVD's (115 episodes). I get the impression that it's a bootleg but the site seems legit enough and the set is multi region DVD (will play in the UK) and is going for £26. Hope this helps.

Re: What old programmes would you like released on dvd?

There was an early 70's kids Sci-Fi show called Sky which I've always wanted to see again. Only ran about a dozen episodes, but it was downright eerie-the lead character was a stranded alien boy with blank glowing blue eyes which scared my five or six year old self half to death! Anyone else remember it?
