RadoxTheGreen 18th Jul 2015		TV The Moomins (1977 - 1983)	At least it wasn't the video with the Groak. I might still be able to sleep, even if I dream of dead squirrels.
RadoxTheGreen 17th Jul 2015		TV Uchū Kaizoku Captain Harlock (1978 - 1979)	Title screen is from the Special Edition DVD release. Also added alternative title screen, again from DVD release.
RadoxTheGreen 16th Jul 2015		TV Chelmsford 123 (1988 - 1990)	"They call me Mungo the Evasive". "Do They?" "Who wants to know?"
RadoxTheGreen 16th Jul 2015		TV Boston Legal (2004 - 2008)	Candice Bergen plays Shirley Schmidt, not the other way around. I have corrected this.
RadoxTheGreen 14th Jul 2015		TV Andy Pandy (1950 - 1952)	That might be their official "excuse" harley, but I suspect it had a lot more to do with trying to get people to buy colour TVs. When they first came out they didn't sell that well due to their high price and lack of colour programmes. Most of the country couldn't get the all colour channel BBC2 for about 5 years after its launch. The BBC brought back several popular shows for just one or two series to get people to buy a new set. I suspect this was revived for that reason more than worn out tapes, and it wouldn't surprise me if they still showed the b/w episodes even after the colour series debuted.
RadoxTheGreen 12th Jul 2015		TV Space Night (1994 - Now)	I wasn't sure if this should still be classed as a programme or if it's now a programme block. However, BR TV call it a programme and it's their show so who am I to argue. It certainly started as a programme (see the video from the 90s I think?), but it's grown a bit over the years. The video is a clip by the way, the actual programme broadcasts through the night.

RadoxTheGreen 12th Jul 2015		TV All Gas And Gaiters (1966 - 1971)	Often incorrectly considered a prequel to "Oh Brother!", due to Derek Nimmo playing a similar style of charcter, All Gas and Gaiters actually outlasted Oh Brother! by one year.
RadoxTheGreen 11th Jul 2015		TV Andy Pandy (1950 - 1952)	Well,as general consensus is all of us remembering it from the 60s, I'll ignore Wiki and imdb and edit the entry accordingly.
RadoxTheGreen 10th Jul 2015		TV Flower Pot Men (1952 - 1957)	This was repeated for around 20 years after it was made.
RadoxTheGreen 10th Jul 2015		TV Andy Pandy (1950 - 1952)	Well, I thought the same actually, but imdb and Wiki both say not. I thought I was maybe confusing it with the 1970 show but I would have been too old to watch that out of choice. Maybe I was off sick from school and just watching whatever was on, although I can remember regularly watching all of those shows you mentioned too.
RadoxTheGreen 10th Jul 2015		TV Battle Stations (2000 - 2006)	Although the series concentrated on the 20th Century, one episode looked at HMS Victory, which was bombed in World War II.
RadoxTheGreen 10th Jul 2015		TV The Royle Family (1998 - 2012)	I almost loaded this last night but put up Becker instead.
RadoxTheGreen 9th Jul 2015		TV Becker (1998 - 2004)	I loved this series. Shawnee Smith's portrayal of disaster prone Linda cracked me up. Every week there would be something she had wrecked or messed up, and every explanation started with the same catchphrase "OK, here's the thing..."
RadoxTheGreen 9th Jul 2015		TV The Forsyte Saga (1967)	What can I say, I'm a country lad ;) Susan Hampshire and Deborah Watling were the first girls I fancied.
RadoxTheGreen 9th Jul 2015		TV The Forsyte Saga (1967)	I can remember seeing this when I was 4 years old and having a huge crush on Susan Hampshire.
RadoxTheGreen 5th Jul 2015		TV Thunderbirds Are Go [2015] (2015 - 2020)	I agree with 23skidoo on this. It's not anime. I have changed the category to animation and amended the notes to just state remake.
RadoxTheGreen 4th Jul 2015		TV Dark Season (1991)	Yes, this is certainly the reason why he got Doctor Who, not Queer As Folk. RTD was only given 6 episodes to work with and splitting the show into 3 episodes per story (Doctor Who style) was a thinly disguised job application in case they were ever going to bring the show back again. I heard a rumour that the beeb bosses at that time were less than impressed with RTD for turning what was intended to be a one off 6 episode sci fi for kids into an alternative to Doctor Who (and going over budget in the process). They eventually let him do another series, but after two years of beeb dithering, the actor who played Marcie was too old to play a schoolgirl, and the whole point of her character was that kids see and do things adults don't. Recasting and script rewriting ensued and Dark Season 2 was abandoned and the equally excellent "Century Falls" created in its place. You don't have to look too hard at that show to see that it had its origins with Dark Season.

RadoxTheGreen 4th Jul 2015		TV Dark Season (1991)	It's Doctor Who... with kids [YouTube Video]

RadoxTheGreen 3rd Jul 2015		TV No Problem! (1983 - 1985)	Wiki is more accurate than imdb for this show - Wikipedia - No Problem! From Janet Kay's YouTube Channel: [YouTube Video]
RadoxTheGreen 30th Jun 2015		TV Ben And Holly's Little Kingdom (2009 - Now)	Is this date right? Imdb and Wikipedia both have this as starting in 2009.
RadoxTheGreen 29th Jun 2015		TV Wait Till Your Father Gets Home (1972 - 1974)	I remember it was racist. I could understand how anti Korean attitudes might fly in the US but couldn't understand why it was allowed on British TV. Then I saw Love Thy Neighbour and suddenly the attitudes in this seemed quite mild.
RadoxTheGreen 29th Jun 2015		TV Help!... It's The Hair Bear Bunch! (1971 - 1972)	OK. I'm confused. I swear blind I once saw an interview with Jon Pertwee in which he claimed he was the voice of Bubi Bear.
