      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.
      Loved it i did.

          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:

              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!

              '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

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

              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)

              Time flies like the wind, fruit flies like bananas - go figure!

                Not heard of them but often i dont remember a show by name then i check it out and i do remember it/them.

                Where these ever shown in the uk maybe a reason i dont remember them.

                        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?

                          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.
