    What programmes from the past do you like to watch on tv

    Yesterday-Lovejoy,Bergerac

    Itv4-Sweeney,Minder

    I did also watch New Avengers but found it not so good as the avengers from the 60s

    Would like to see Persuaders,Randall and Hopkirk,Man from Uncle,Champions but are not on freeview yet

    Re: Programmes from the past

    'Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)' used to be on freeview (ITV4 if memory serves), and I've almost completed my collection of the original series on DVD when I found 3 DVDs of the second half of the series in a charity shop a couple of weeks ago.

    It's great that these series are shown on freeview, but some of them - 'The Sweeney' in particular, do seem to get edited down with a hacksaw. Owning the boxsets, you tend to notice what gets left out of the edited freeview versions.

    I should add that I also like Challenge, especially when they're showing '3-2-1', 'Bullseye', 'Bob's Full House' and - for a short while - 'Interceptor'. Trouble is, whenever I go on Challenge at the moment, it always seems to be a classic 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?', which is a bit recent for nostalgic purposes.

      regarding challenge ther are shows on it i feel should not be as they are not old enough.
      for me a show should not be on it unless its 10 yrs old or more.


      shows i watch on it are.
      blockbusters.
      bullseye
      catchphrase
      crystal maze
      strike it lucky

        Love Challenge!

        The ones you mentioned are my favourites too, especially Bullseye.

        Bullseye seems to be very popular according to BARB, but I'm surprised Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is - am I the only one who doesn't like that show?

                with the price iws right i always forget brucie did it.
                i remember it better when lweslie crowther did it.

                going for gold was funny cause a lot of the time it was hard to understand what people where saying as contestants where from all over europe.


                they also had man about the house the film on a few weeks back which had george and mildred in it.

                G AND M IS CLASS.

                  Re: Programmes from the past

                  I used to hate Going For Gold!

                  The buzzers never seemed to work and the European contestants always seemed to get questions about British subjects that they had little knowledge about.

                  The Price Is Right was really funny, it's clear the audience were told to whoop it up, it's so false - British people just aren't comfortable doing that so they looked daft

                      According to the TV Cream feature on films based on sitcoms Man About The House is one of the better films, while George & Mildred is one of the worse.

                        so you mean you now like going for gold.
                        presented by henry kelly.

                        it was a funny show though.
                        but i got into it watched it regular.

                        yeah i agree with T P I R.what you say mate.

                          Fawlty Towers, Auf Pet and that's about it. May watch 20mins or so of something like The Professionals but looking back on them now they were quite naff. The kids progs on the other hand were so much better than todays offerings.

                            oh without a doubt the ids shows from the eighties even nineties are much better than what we get today.
                            shows like dangermouse,inspector gadget,worzel gummidge, grange hill etc etc are shows i still watch and get iimmense enjoyment from.

                            i guess its down to the beeb what shows the channel puts out and qwhat they are like.


                            although the professionals i feel is very good.
