Grange Hill. Watched a couple of the first episodes recently. The worst acting ever. Never noticed as a kid. Used to love it.

Double deckers which is about the earliest kids show I remember that was a bit ‘hipper’ than play school etc. Quite a few of the old shows stand the test of time but there’s always a fair few exceptions! Used to love citizen smith but saw an episode a few years back and it was terrible!

That’s always the fear. I liked Citizen Smith but don’t want to wreck how I saw it then. My favourite adult program as a kid was Colditz. Loved it. I saw an episode on some satellite channel a year or two back and it was terrible. All 70s set lighting/filming, cardboard walls, ham acting, pauses for effect. A happy memory in the bin.

Two old series Ive watched recently Secret Army, which I have a a feeling Glassers has watched as well. Enjoyed it but was somewhat distracted by thinking of 'all 'all

also Just Good Friends which although a bit hammy (no offence Phil) is still watchable, still makes me makes and is actually really well written

Found an episode of Juliet Bravo not too long ago, but The Good Life, Dads Army and Porridge still make me laugh just as hard now as they did then.

Another shout out for Just Good Friends. The lovely Jan Francis 😊.
To The Manor Born and The Likely Lads still get an airing on our telebox from time to time.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Yep, still watch Likely Lads regularly on channel 171. Also watch Auf Weidersehen Pet on ITVX most Friday afternoons.

It was a snide sales ploy for biological washing powder for soiled underpants I think.

Terry & June.

Purely because we had wonderful neighbours when I was a kid, called Terry & June. Ironically both were similar to the TV T&J. Actually a few people in the village thought the TV show was based on our Terry & June

And the Cleary inspired parody Terry & Julian

Terry ‘blue peter’?

Some of it just brings back feelings and then makes me realise how fast time goes. Terrifying.

The opening bit of Mr Bean takes me back to watching that and Birds of a Feather then having to go to bed. School tomorrow.

A real mix of feelings.

In the blink of an eye we'll all be gone and very soon no one will even remember we were here...

Happy Friday everyone!

Truly impaired.

During g lockdown, I watched every episode of Man About the House & On the Buses. I wasn't allowed to watch them when I was a kid as my mum didn't approve of ITV, declaring it "common" ( she was unaware of the saying NQOCD). Both series were hilarious, especially as a very good pal is not only the spitting image of Arthur, but his personality is spot-on too.

Of those series I have rewatched with fond memories, Just Good Friends is as good as ever. The Goodies, for me, hasn't aged as well, though it still has its moments (the apart-height sketch being worthy of Not the Nine O'clock News).

Have you tried the comic strip that has some excellent stuff.

I saw a couple of episodes of The Young Ones recently.

A combination of utter amateurism, and some genuinely ground-breaking comic devices.

The "University Challenge" episode is remembered for the take off of the quiz with Toffs versus Scumbags and some very famous cameos AND Vivyan being decapitated after putting his head out of the train window (genuinely shocking for a sitcom at the time) and then wandering around trying to find his head "Over here you ba st ard!".

But it also contains a surreal subplot with Robbie Coltrane as a Victorian scientist looking down his microscope at the events of the episode. Then there was Neil talking to the audience at home because nobody else would listen to him. Genuinely ground breaking "meta" stuff years before Garry Shandling broke the fourth wall etc.

Classic,when I was working in the building trade we’d often get bricklayers turn up in pairs,one we pair we had come with us was called Terry so of course the other got called June 😂
Both from Romford and Irons but we won’t go there.
