The Sopranos and.... nothing else.
It really isn’t.

It is - streaming channels like Netflix have created superiors programmes - I hardly watch terrestrial TV now at all

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Great Night Out - Itv round about 2013.

Whose talking about terrestrial channels ‘it is what it is at the time, the emergence of
Sky Netflix etc has removed the need for quality programmes on terrestrial tv, so it’s all
Cooks, removals, real estate etc.
Terrestrial TV today is woeful, but it didn’t use to be and some of the programmes
Mentioned on this thread still haven’t been surpassed by anything new.

There area host of Scandi Noir crime dramas that are infinitely superior to Colombo etc - most old programmes were not great

Dr Who with John Pertwee.
Or other classics like Knightrider or Starsky and Hutch.

Crossroads the original with Amy Turtle.

 

[Gazolba]

Read through the entire thread and it seems no-one mentioned any of my favourites, though I admit they must pre-date most of you:

Riviera Police
The Man in Room 17
Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Man About The House
UFO (all episodes are on Youtube)
Space Patrol

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

They could bring back fantasy football league ( not in the next few weeks admittedly but even so )

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Not the Nine O’clock

classic

Had a look at an old London Palladium show from 1965 .
Bloody hell it was like back being 8 yrd old .
An Italian puppet character Topo Gigio used to get a weekly slot .
Totally escaped my memory but boy he used to make us laugh with his funny Italian speech .
Sunday night was bath night for four of us back then,soon to be seven lol.

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Really liked ‘When the Boat Come In’.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

The Comedians, now your talking!

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Tales of the unexpected....

A bit like the CCFC season on so many levels

Never will the title have been so apt.

 

[Nick]

Central Weekend
Topless Darts

 

[Otis]

Topless Darts

Never saw that. Did they also do it with women too?

 

[Mask]

Some of my favourites that never seem to be repeated...

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
15 Storeys High
Catterick

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

I definitely saw that on the listings recently.

It was on BBC4, three episodes a night a few weeks ago to mark the death of (i think) the writer. But only series 1. Definitely of its time, but Daniella Nardini was just gorge!

Great theme tune too!

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Game on

Mmmmm - a young Samantha Janus!

 

[Brylowes]

Ask the family...with Robert Robinson
My junior school teacher , Mrs Satchwell and her family were on, and won

With a young Rowan Atkinson.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

They should bring back central weekend

Nope - Anna Soubry and Nicky Campbell were just as obnoxious back then as they are today!

 

[Brylowes]

Sure I remember a late night sketch show called. “The unrepeatable Who Dares Wins”

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Yes I remember that ,it was good

 

[Sbarcher]

Early Doors

 

[PVA]

It's been mentioned a couple of times but Phoenix Nights is the big one for me.

It's one of the funniest sitcoms of all time but it's like it doesn't exist. It's never repeated, it's not available on the 4 On Demand service.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Someone mentioned this kids classic from the 60s. Happy memories.

[DionDublinsJockstrap]

Alias Smith and Jones
Brass Eye

 

[Danceswithhorses]

With a young Rowan Atkinson.

I recognise the youngest lad in this sketch too.
Wasn't he on Eastenders in the early years...think he went off the rails a bit

 

[skyblueinBaku]

The Comedians

 

[Astute]

This will upset a few people. TV is just better now.

And I don’t mean ITV reality bollocks I mean proper stuff.

How about recent year comedies? Nothing unusual these days to watch a whole show and not even smile once.

And there wasn't the bullshit 'reality' shows back then either. And they are not just on ITV. I should know as the wife loves them.
