OldMod67 20th Aug 2020		Marc 1977	I've often wondered what series two would have been like. The Banshees were a shoe-in for a spot apparently...
MR B PAGE 14th Aug 2020		Guitarra 1985	Review R.I.P.Julian Bream,you`re one of my favourite guitarists,especially working with John Williams,Peter Pears,etc.I do remember this series very well,when first transmitted for Channel Four in 1985 on Sunday Nights,when screened at 8:00 p.m.There are 8 episodes in total,not only he presented the show,but he devises the TV programme,and travels to Spain,and also performs with his guitar,and also he`s a great lutenist performing like the 17th century such as Bach,Sanz amongst others.The final episode-we hear the complete performance of Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo [the most popular guitar concerto of the 20th century as well as Fantasia Para un Gentilhombre],performed with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe conducted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner.Also in 1985,RCA Red Seal released Guitarra!-The Guitar In Spain as a Double Album,Double Cassette and a Double CD to cash on the TV series.But I will treasure the series on DVD,as well as his guitar playing,in which I`ve Got on CD,and I still remember him so much. 8 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
MR B PAGE 13th Aug 2020		Citizen Smith 1977 - 1980	R.I.P.Mike Walling,Peter Vaughan,Hilda Braid,Tony Steedman,I do miss you all in this great comedy series written by John Sullivan and still the best ever.
MR B PAGE 13th Aug 2020		Brush Strokes 1986 - 1991	Review I remember this series quite well,and one of my favourite episodes is filmed at the main post office in Sutton,Surrey [now closed down],but sadly lost Mike Walling [also appeared with Tony Millan-and both became comedy writers such as The Brittas Empire,etc.]The Intro and Outro theme is performed by Dexy`s Midnight Runners and released as a single in November 1986 and reached No.13 in the UK charts.Karl Howman is absolutely a great actor,and also Carol Harrison [from Eastenders],also great and well acted throughout.A definitely great BBC comedy series for me,and I still like it now. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
23skidoo 7th Aug 2020		Killing Eve 2018 - 2022	Added "Comedy" to the genre list, as this is considered a dramedy. Indeed, having watched it for the first time a few weeks ago, it's actually a very funny show at times.
23skidoo 7th Aug 2020		A Touch Of Cloth 2012 - 2014	Added an end year for this. Apparently the trailer for Series 4 was a joke and John Hannah is apparently on record as saying the series won't be coming back. Of course if they do pick it up again, the end date can always be removed.
MR B PAGE 6th Aug 2020		Me And My Girl 1984 - 1988	Review I remember this TV series,when first screened for LWT on Sunday nights,which it ran for 6 series [52 episodes in total],and good comedy acting from Tim Brooke-Taylor [sadly passed away on Easter Sunday 2020 at the age of 79],Richard O`Sullivan and Joanne Ridley.The series created by John Kane and Keith Leonard.The intro and the outro theme song is written and performed by Peter Skellern,and the opening sequence was actually filmed at Three Cliffs Bay,Gower,and I hope they`ll bring back the series broadcast again as a fitting tribute to Tim Broke-Taylor,and I still love the series so much and brings me memories of Sunday Night TV. 8 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

MR B PAGE 31st Jul 2020		The Fame Game 1985	Review I remember this series very well and first screened on Saturday Nights on ITV,and among them participants were on the show,such as the Welsh Comedian John Sparkes,when he teamed with another comedian Harry Enfield,which they called themselves Dusty and Dick,but sadly they voted off as far as I remember.Among the professions on the show such as singers,magicians,stand-up comedians,etc.I think this TV show ran for one series,and I hope they broadcast again on Youtube,so I know who were the acts on the show.The theme song is performed by Kate Robbins. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
sladesounds 31st Jul 2020		Hidden 2018 - Now	Rated 9/10 Don't let the welsh dialogue (with sub-titles) put you off this compelling drama. A good solid police drama with lots of little twists and turns and smaller sub-plots to keep you engrossed. Series One and Two both are equally viewable and I would recommend you spend sometime getting sucked into this series. Available on BBC iPlayer as at August 2020. 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

sladesounds 31st Jul 2020		Little Fires Everywhere 2020	Rated 8/10 Based on Celeste Ng's 2017 bestseller, "Little Fires Everywhere" this mini-TV series (spanning nearly 8 hours) follows the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and the enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. I found it an interesting and engaging story line that was helped no end by its star cast. It was interesting how, as the series played out, me and my partner chose which character's side we were on only to find that maybe all the characters are very similar and in their own way flawed. Starts with a big fire scene (not a spoiler) that then has you guessing all the way through who set it.......is it as simple as it appears? Watch and find out! 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
YankeeDisc SUBS ● 26th Jul 2020		The Last Of The Mohicans [1957] 1957	Currently being shown on UK freeview channel 081 Talking Pictures TV everyday I think.... ....if there are 39 episodes, I've probably seen them all, as a child aged 9 or 10 years old..... The episodes I have revisited lately look to me clunky and very dated, but back at that time, I learned the names of Native Indian tribes like Iroquois and Mohican, so I took myself off to my local library, The Tate central library, in Brixton, south London and researched the many different tribes. My favourites became those bad boys.........Navajo, Apache and Comanche nations.....fabulous horsemen...
Lovinda 24th Jul 2020		Flipper [1964] 1964 - 1967	One of the first TV series I followed as a child (we just got our first TV set)!
Lovinda 24th Jul 2020		A Family At War 1970 - 1972	A TV series classic that I really loved, and would like to have on Blu-Ray or DVD one day.
Lovinda 24th Jul 2020		The Onedin Line 1971 - 1980	One of my first TV series favourites! I just loved it to bits, esp. the handsome captain James Onedin, who I also surprisingly saw again in a couple of episodes the Heartbeat series decades later!
UG1002 21st Jul 2020		Mork & Mindy 1978 - 1982	Rated 10/10 If not the best show and my all time favourite, Robin Williams was a true comedian and in Mork & Mindy he showcased his skills of making people laugh, each episode was amazing and well planned out. Though anything Robin Williams acted in was great work though this is his all time best show. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
kimbozw 21st Jul 2020		Little House On The Prairie 1974 - 1983	Popular TV show. In dubbed or subtitled versions known in other countries as: LA PETITE MAISON SUR LA PRAIRIE - French speaking nations; UNSERE KLEINE FARM - German speaking nations; LA PEQUEÑA CASA EN LA PREDERA - Spanish speaking nations; HET KLEINE HAUS OP DE PRAIRIE - Dutch speaking nations; LILLA HUSET PÅ PRÄRIEN - Swedish speaking nations. Some of us still remember the goings-on at Walnut Grove … TV theme composer David Rosenberg aka David Rose was at one time married to Judy Garland …
UG1002 17th Jul 2020		Good Times 1974 - 1979	DYNAMITE This is one of the best comedys i have ever watched JJ made the show with his funny one liners and catch phrashers
UG1002 17th Jul 2020		Diff'rent Strokes 1978 - 1986	Rated 10/10 Watcha talkin about willis One of the best TV Shows i have watched along with good times this and Good Times are super funny, you will laugh in every episode. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

sladesounds 4th Jul 2020		Cardinal 2017 - Now	Rated 9/10 If you enjoy good crime drama such as Fargo and The Killing the this is one for you. The acting is great, the story-lines compelling and the setting, the vast cold Canadian landscape is wonderful. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
OldMod67 27th Jun 2020		Diff'rent Strokes 1978 - 1986	Mary Ann Mobley also played the role of April Dancer in one episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. but was replaced by Stefanie Powers when The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. got its one-season series.
DexterMiller 21st Jun 2020		Green Acres 1965 - 1971	Review Probably the most genuinely funny surreal show of the late-'60s. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
DexterMiller 21st Jun 2020		Hawaii Five-O 1968 - 1980	James "Danno" MacArthur left after the '78-'79 season. His character nickname was an "in-joke" nod to (then) long-time CBS West Coast programming executive Mike Dann.
DexterMiller 20th Jun 2020		Diff'rent Strokes 1978 - 1986	The series ran on NBC from 1978-1985; with the final season being on ABC. Also, the role of "Maggie" was taken over from Dixie Carter by Mary Ann Mobley when the series changed networks (as Carter had been cast in the equally successful "Designing Women" sitcom at that point).
Quad5point1 20th Jun 2020		Albert's Clock 2004	Link to a short clip on the BBC website can be found HERE
carey jeggs 12th Jun 2020		The Tomorrow People 1973 - 1979	Nicholas Young was interviewed a few years ago about this.A young woman had recognised him in the street and said that when she watched it as a child she had a crush on him .He asked her to go for a drink with him but she replied,'That was then.' You who turn the wheel and look to windward....etc.
