monkey Sittingbourne,but made in Bromley 02 Jan 24 11.17am
Originally posted by mooro Is shown on Great TV weeknights at 10pm sandwiched in between Randall & Hopkirk and Return of the Saint but yes if I had to choose a theme then The Persuaders would be top... I have actually watched a couple, but to be honest, like a lot of 70’s TV it seems rubbish now, but then I was only about 6/7/8 years old when it was first aired. But the theme tune, like a lot of classic TV still seems superb and holds great memories of how much I loved the programme as a kid

Forest Hillbilly in a hidey-hole 02 Jan 24 1.14pm
Songs of Praise and Last of the Summer Wine nearly 100 years ago. Used to get knots in my stomach on a Sunday evening as I knew I hadn't done my homework for Monday. Sad things is, both programmes are still going, still forming the mainstay of Sunday television for Licence-paying viewers. More TV that should have died out with flared trousers and kipper ties. Edited by Forest Hillbilly (02 Jan 2024 1.15pm) I disengage, I turn the page.

Land of the Giants which seemed to consist mainly of the cast sliding down a reel of cotton to get off table tops or fighting spiders with a spear-sized pin.

I used to love all those Irwin Allen shows when I was a kid. I started off with Lost In Space, then Voyage To the Bottom of the Sea, Time Tunnel and then Land of the Giants came a little later I think. All of them were totally daft, but great escapism when you were in junior school.

I Love Lucy with Lucille Ball and The Perry Como Show. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I used to watch 'Til death us do part' on a regular basis. Warren Mitchell, a W.Ham supporter in the programme, was actually a supporter of Tottenham.

Maybe we were less sophisticated but I don't think I questioned any of the premises they were based on. Mind you I also didn't see Batman was high camp and funny at the time. Or that when I retuned to the same Bat channel at the same Bat time next week the perilous situation the caped crusader had been in had changed so escape was a piece of Bat pi**.
