Lol who were the two cavemen - I can't remember their names now!!

I would love to see the Poldark series return to TV. I can recall seeing it on it's first showing but I never paid much attention. Now I have discovered that some of my ancestors are from Cornwall and some of them in the very place, Poldark is based!!

Hi Maggie

How many characters from the whacky races can you remember?

I remember the Ant Hill Mob!

Oooh - Whacky races!!
It must have been on on a Monday, because I was always picking the chicken carcass while I watched it, as mum made a chicken curry from the remains of Sunday lunch!!!

The Golden Shot with Bob Monkhouse.

Up a bit. Stop. Left a bit. Stop. FIRE!

Dear All

Hello

Dear JoyBoroAngel....................great post. What a lot of lovely memories!

Any of the following would be very welcome repeats:

"Hill St Blues"......the template for all american police cop dramas.

"Cagney and Lacey"

"Boys from the bush", starring Tim Healy, set in Australia where
he played a private detective.

"Love hurts", Adam Faith and Zoe Wanamaker, made in 1992.
3 series were made.

Take care all
Very best wishes

Hi Rose

Wasn't that the programme with Ozymandias? - if so, I remember it well. the beginning of the Indie in the girl. That and Catweazle!

Ref Connie, she (Stephanie Beacham) was the guv of a clothing factory in the midlands, and the series tracked her business and her love life. "It's a love job" is what sticks in my mind

I got lost there Suzian lol ...I was looking at a site for a childrens series from the 70s, that I thought few would remember, it was made at Thames TV when my brother worked there,
"Ace of wands"...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101165/

evidently i am not the only one who wishes it would be repeated lol.

I do remember 'Connie' but nothing much about it strangely.

Maggie I agree....

Maggie I agree....

I know Rose........ but it was still one good series.

Another one was the wonderful Connie. Quote below:

"Does anybody remember that superb 1985 drama series, "Connie", written by Ron Hutchinson and starring Stephanie Beacham, Brenda Bruce and Pam Ferris, amongst others? I could never understand why it was never released commercially but, there it is, it wasn't. The series ran to 13 episodes "

Amazing that TV can spend a fortune on rubbish like The Y Bother Factor and leave gems like these dramas untouched, don't you think?
