Oh! And the Bananna Splits & Double Deckers
Whilst thinking about my favourite films, it occurred to me how many great British TV series we used to watch in our younger days at home with our parents. Some that spring to mind include the following;
Till Death Us Do Part
The Avengers
Fawlty Towers
Taggart
Steptoe and Son
The Champions
Some Mothers Do Have Em
Inspector Morse
The Darling Buds of May
Shoestring
Only Fools and Horses
The Professionals
Dr.Who
Black Adder
The Good Life
Dads Army
Man About The House
Bergerac
Last of the Summer Wine
Poirot
The Likely Lads
Wycliffe
What was that one with Wendy Craig as your typical mum trying to raise a family?
Any others spring to mind?

Re: Classic British TV Series
oh god brings memories back, a lot of these programs i wasn't allowed to watch, my mam was quite old fashioned, she thought Pans People and Hot Gossip were sinful, I used to watch through the crack of the lounge door from the stairs. Or i would arrange a sleep over at one of my friends so i could watch.
Cherry Gillespie was sinful...............

Re: Classic British TV Series
Nobody has challenged LH on his inclusion of Last Of The Summer Wine......
......... so I will.
It is surely the least funny thing (that is meant to be funny) the BBC has ever foisted on its uncomplaining
audience....... Northerner-patronising garbage with no funny lines or characters in it.
And as for the pre-recorded laughter soundtrack..........
Is it still on?

Re: Classic British TV Series
and as for Last of the Summer Wine, its currently being shown on BBC Entertainment with a host of classic British actors now appearing, including June Whitfield and Eric Sykes. It has its own unique charm, especially the old geezer forever trying to sneak past his nagging wife to go cycling with the delectable Marina. Plenty of funny scenes and beautiful scenery.
