Quad5point1 4th Aug 2018		Guitar Heroes At The BBC 2008 - 2009	A celebration of Seventies-era axe-men, acoustic virtuosos and thumping riff merchants, in a compilation of guitar-heavy performances from the BBC TV archives. Guitar gods including Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, Peter Green and Johnny Winter are joined by, among others, flamenco maestro Manitas De Plata, bottleneck bluesman Ry Cooder and straight-up rockers AC/DC and Thin Lizzy. Everything from Fleetwood Mac's ambient masterpiece Albatross to hits like The Jam's In The City and Free's All Right Now feature along with lesser-known gems like Maid in Heaven by Be Bop Deluxe and Nils Lofgren's Keith Don't Go. The tracks were recorded in the heyday of BBC shows such as The Old Grey Whistle Test, Top of the Pops and Rock Goes to College.

YankeeDisc SUBS 2nd Aug 2018		Sailor 1976	45 single issued by BBC records in a colour sleeve early 1977 to tie-in to the TV series.
YankeeDisc SUBS 2nd Aug 2018		Get Stuffed 1991 - 1994	Unbelievably clunky, with Andy and his mate (the mystery chefs), with both their oars well out the water......different participants did the cooking on each episode, made up I believe of UK and foreign students, probably at university. Tag line: "......don't forget to wash your hands...."
sladesounds 16th Jul 2018		Big Little Lies 2017 - 2019	Rated 9/10 They say the that the book is always better than than the film, but having read the excellent novel by Liane Moriarty I can assure you that that this series is as good as, if not better than the book. Shot on location in the wonderful Monterey, California and its surrounding area, the story tells the tale of a group of mothers who on the outside look to have wonderful complete lives but each have their own (big) little lies that are told to just let them cope/survive with their lives. The screen writing is superb and it quickly draws you into the storyline as the character's lives are slowly looked at. Through struggles in their marriages, parental problems, sexual jealously the mystery deepens with each instalment. You know from the first episode there is a killing, but it is not until the end (of season 1) that you find out who is killed and by whom. In the meanwhile you yourself will find several possible victims with a growing list of possible killers. The acting is excellent and by the way the soundtrack is brilliant! The first season closely follows the story set out in the novel however I see that there will be a second season so I await with interest to see where the series will go next. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 15th Jul 2018		The Life And Times 1995 - 1997	I'm not sure of the end date but don't know of any episodes past 1997. Here's a sample of the Conway Twitty biography [YouTube Video] Youtube from lindalovesal.
George Slv 10th Jul 2018		The Yellow Rose 1983 - 1984	This was Cybill Shepherd's break-through role in television.
George Slv 8th Jul 2018		Linehan 1998 - 1999	I'm not sure of end date but only know of episodes in 1998 and 1999. Linehan previously had a talk show named City Lights.
Appletree1 SUBS 6th Jul 2018		Treasure Hunt 1982 - 1989	As the cameraman was called Graham and also knew what Anneka had to do, she was very cheeky with him. Which was good for me, being also called Graham, there was this gorgeous blond flirting to the camera using my name! Great for the old ego!!
Appletree1 SUBS 6th Jul 2018		Star Trek 1966 - 1969	When it was made a company who made sliding doors wanted to know how the doors opened so quick. They had to tell them that it was two men pushing them! Doctor McCoy operated with salt pots! Warp One by the way is the speed of light. Warp Eight 512 times the speed of light.
Appletree1 SUBS 6th Jul 2018		Pot Black 1969 - 1986	Commissioned for the BBC on BBC 2 to promote the introduction of colour TV. The series became even more popular after the famous line "and for those watching in Black and White the pink is next to the brown..." Or something along those lines....
Appletree1 SUBS 6th Jul 2018		Timeslip 1970 - 1971	Did you know that the fence has been preserved as it was a WW2 military station! Spencer and Cheryl are now the god parents to each other's kids. I suspect that Simon Randall might have been the prototype of Harry Potter! Depending if J K saw it!
carryonsidney 6th Jul 2018		Star Trek: Discovery 2017 - Now	Personally rating this show so far as the best of all the Star Trek franchises.
Appletree1 SUBS 3rd Jul 2018		Timeslip 1970 - 1971	There is a DVD available of the whole series. However only one episode has survived in colour. That being the last one in the Icebox one. It seems they were only rescued by being recorded for use in other countries.
23skidoo 24th Jun 2018		Law & Order: UK 2009 - 2014	Although technically it hasn't been cancelled, the fact no new series have been broadcast since 2014 and its showrunner and stars are now involved in other series, I think it's safe to put an end date on this until such a time as the series is restarted, if that happens.
23skidoo 22nd Jun 2018		Roseanne 1988 - 2018	ABC has just announced that the series will continue without Roseanne and retitled The Conners. However I'm also seeing it referred to as a spinoff/separate series. If it ends up being a separate series then I say we can close off the original with a 2018 end date. But if it's a continuation - like what happened when the sitcom Valerie was retooled as The Hogan Family after its marquee star quit between seasons - then based on that precedent, The Conners should be added as an alternative title and the listing continued here. EDIT: Looks like The Conners is officially being considered a spin-off, rather than a continuation, so I've gone ahead and put in the end date. It can always be changed later if it turns out to be a Hogan Family situation instead.
Crisanto 20th Jun 2018		Northern Exposure 1990 - 1995	Broadcast in Germany as Ausgerechnet Alaska. Very good stuff ;-)
Cameron McMenemy 14th Jun 2018		Father Ted 1995 - 1998	Rated 10/10 Absolutely Funny. Pure comic classic. Can't recommend it enough. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
23skidoo 8th Jun 2018		Jessie [1984] 1984	Interesting coincidence: Lindsay Wagner plays a psychiatrist in this short-lived series; three years later, when they relaunched The Bionic Woman as a series of reunion TV movies with The Six Million Dollar Man, her character Jamie Sommers was now ... a psychiatrist. It would be interesting to see this series and try to pretend it's Jaime working undercover.
23skidoo 30th May 2018		Justice League 2001 - 2006	Interesting trivia that Carl Lumbly, the voice actor for J'onn J'onzz, later went on to play that character's father in the live-action Supergirl.
23skidoo 25th May 2018		@discovery.ca 1995 - 2018	Very sad to hear this show is being retired after more than 23 (!) years. It will be missed.
zabadak 23rd May 2018		Northern Exposure 1990 - 1995	Rated 9/10 Excellent series though not in the same class as TP (there was one episode which directly referenced that other show, though, where two characters stopped talking and for no apparent reason, started clicking their fingers along to a very TP-like tune!). :happy: 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
MR B PAGE 18th May 2018		Police Academy: The Series 1997 - 1998	I remember Police Academy:The Series when first shown on Monday Nights at 7:00 pm on Channel 5 in 1998 or 1999,and ran for 1 season with 26 one hour episodes,and I hope they`ll show the series again,because I`ve really enjoy it and so funny.
23skidoo 11th May 2018		Scooby Doo Where Are You! 1969 - 1978	Interestingly, this is the only series in which Scooby Doo's name isn't hyphenated. Since we go with what the original title screen shows, I've submitted a little correction on that (by rights there should be no comma, either).
zabadak 11th May 2018		The Graham Norton Show 2007 - Now	Easily the best of the bunch currently! :happy: This is a little different to the format described below (and followed by Jonathan Ross and Alan Carr) - the guests are not interviewed in order but in a seemingly random jumble. Questions are asked individually, of course, but then one will be asked of another guest then it could go back to the first one or even someone else! :happy:
23skidoo 4th May 2018		Gavin & Stacey 2007 - 2010	@Quad5point1 My understanding is we go with whatever the first-season title screen says for the main title and then any alternates get listed as alternates. So if the show was called The James Corden Show its first season that would be its main title with Gavin & Stacey its alternate. And if a DVD release uses an altered title on the box (i.e. Star Trek: The Animated Series but the show itself is just titled Star Trek) that gets added as an alternate too. Why, do the DVDs spell out the "&"?
