MASH doesn't seem to get repeated much at the moment. There was a time it was always on, on one of the satellite channels, but not so much now. [b]Greatest TV show ever.[/b]

The Invaders - Awesome series.

Clochemerle ( Sp?) Quirky series about a small French Village and the rather naughty RC Priest

MASH doesn't seem to get repeated much. There was a time it was always on, on one of the satellite channels, but not so much now. Greatest TV show ever.

Jetlagged in a US hotel room recently, I flicked idly through the channels. MASH was on. I watched it. I laughed. I cried. I laughed again. Blissful television. Sublime.

I watched a verbal episodes of M*A*S*H this evening on two different free sky channels.

Hi de hi

Streethawk
Automan

"The Changes" (70's children's drama - quality and scary!)

"Neverwhere" (One of Gaiman's finest)

Agreed on "MASH". Would be good to watch it again.

"Armchair Thriller" was a good one. "Quiet as a Nun" put the screaming bejebus up me.

"Monkey" - nuff said.

I loved MASH, until I saw the film.

Most of what I was thinking has been posted, so I'll add Monkey Dust

"Neverwhere" (One of Gaiman's finest)

And a tv series he hated: So much so that he tore up the tv script and wrote the book as it should have been, which is one of my favourites.

Yep! It'll do that.

Time Bandits.

Treasure Hunt with Anneka Rice

There was a fishing programme once, a contest in the wilds. One dude was a boring sort into that dull coarse English fishing, the other dude was a faux laird into game fishing. Was great, but never repeated.

Treasure Hunt with Anneka Rice

Funnily enough, that occurred to me the other day as well.

Most Top of The Pops from the 70's and early 80's

Friday A and A

I kept trying for a while, but the appetite had lagged....
Next Friday?

Some good ones above

Can we have

Blue Thunder
Airwolf
The Fall Guy

Kickstart
Howard's Way
The Fast Show (which deserves another airing...)

It ain't half hot mum.
Terry & June.
Ever decreasing circles.
The early fools n horses when Del Boy was racist.

The Water Margin, slaughter, decapitation and general mayhem. All before 7pm.

What was the show made by the same people who made treasure hunt. It was a guy going round in a helicopter trying to shoot the back packs on 2 people in the countryside. Was it called predator or something?

Police Squad.

Maid Marian and her Merry Men

Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy

And what the hell is that programme where they were protecting their house from some bypass (not Hitchhikers, more normal stuff, protecting their house). Hmm

This never made it as far as a second outing (or possibly even a first) despite co-starring 'Jacko' as 'Jetto'

Love Thy Neighbour....

(For good reason...)

Then there's Tales of the Unexpected...

Rita, Sue and Bob Too

Johndoh

Blot on the Landscape?

A lot of what you lot are suggesting is repeated all the time on the various satellite/cable channels

Tutti Fruiti

Tomorrow's world.
Naked Video
Absolutely

Robin of Sherwood

why was the Goodies never repeated?

Agreed on big train.

My vote is for Spaced.

'The tomorrow people' was good till people started taking it seriously.
'Johnny Jarvis' never got a repeat, or 'Deadhead'

Jim'll Fix It........

Moonlighting

Moonlighting

Good point. I had a massive crush on Cybil Shepherd at that time. As long as they don't bother showing the ones where it went all weird and dream-like.

Blot on the Landscape - that's it ! Quality programme!

Hardcastle and McCormick. You want random, you can't handle the random.

The High Life....

Annoyed the air steward brother no end. One of the actors has a fairly impressive cv in hollywood now.

Trapdoor

Count Duckula

My favourite EVER tv show was a thing with some old artist geezer who used to spend about 20 (screen) minutes showing you how a famous artist created one of their works. Talked a bit like a snooker commentator; all very soporific.

I used to bloody love it, although it all seemed a bit Rolf Harris (in a not pervy way) - I heard someone say years later on the radio that he was eventually thought to have possibly been creator of some genius-level forgeries.

I remember thinking Chelmsford 123 stuck out a mile.

Dark Place
Sapphire and Steel
The Highwayman

Blott on the landscape! Great shout - David Suchet, Geraldine James, George Cole, that bizarre mouth-trumpet theme (I could do a poor version of it right now) all encased in the brilliant flavours of Tom Sharpe farce.

Great thread. All of the above. But.

The Adventure Game.

Ripping Yarns

I remembered the name of the show, it was interceptor. 'take me down mikey'

Firefly should be on repeat
Eldorado should quite rightly never grace TVs again

Any of the Dennis Potter stuff.
I'd like to see Karaoke and Cold Lazarus again.

The Water Margin (loved the theme tune as a boy) & tutti frutti here too.
Also.::: One Summer,Chocky and The Young ones.
& Oz .

One Summer was great.

Remember Going Out?
Loved the theme tune.

There was a fishing programme once, a contest in the wilds. One dude was a boring sort into that dull coarse English fishing, the other dude was a faux laird into game fishing. Was great, but never repeated.

There were a couple of Comic Strip comedies I've never seen again. One was a detective based one, where the old style TV detective was killing all the others off - everyone was a thinly disguised version of the real ones (DI George Shouter of the yard, Bonehead and Foyle etc. seem to stick in the mind)

The other was I think a version of Nuts in May, although it's entirely possible it might just have been Nuts in May. Which is also genius....

I noticed Cold Lazarus is on 4OD.

Firefly is on sy fy channel all the time 🙂

All the 80s action ones like fall guy, airwolf etc. Think they might just have aged too much.

There are (beleive it or not) some seasons of top gear NOT on Dave..

Similarly... Paint along with Nancy

Its weird that Comic Strip stuff doesn't reappear. I looked at buying it on DVD but apparently theres some odd cuts and edits in the episodes - not reworking (like a directors cut) but almost as if bits have been censored. Ruins them apparentlyl

So I was going to say 'Comic Strip Presents'

But now you've said it I'll say.....

Set of Six
Groovy Fellas
Gilberts Fridge

The Shadow Line.

Basically a cops and drug trafficking show. Featured two utterly terrifying performances. Stephen Rea plays Gatehouse, who's basically George Smiley's evil twin. Raphe Spall plays the heir to the drugs empire. He's this sadistic, capricious, man-child savant. Reminded me of Miranda Richardson as Queenie in Blackadder!

Also had Christopher Eccleston in it. Got increasingly silly and incoherent towards the end unfortunately, but the performances are very memorable.

Speaking of Smiley, although Tinker Tailor gets the odd outing, I don't remember ever seeing the (equally worthwhile) Smiley's People.

Early doors

Well worth looking it up if you like The Royle Family

Don't remember Going Out....
Young Spall's turn in Shadow line stole the show IMO. He was terrifying. I get the queenie reference too.
