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.
RadoxTheGreen 29th Jun 2015		TV Scooby Doo Where Are You! (1969 - 1978)	Best of the Scooby series. Fact: Nicole Jaffe (Velma) was the hippy girl in the Disney movie "The Love Bug"
RadoxTheGreen 27th Jun 2015		TV Murphy Brown (1988 - 1998)	10 series and not a duff episode in there. Unfortunately, all the topical gags have made it look very dated now.
RadoxTheGreen 27th Jun 2015		TV The Strange World Of Gurney Slade (1960)	My parents thought this was going to be about the village of Gurney Slade, which is about 10-minutes up the road.
RadoxTheGreen 26th Jun 2015		TV The Wanderer (1994)	Sorry about the poor title image. There's not much to choose from.
RadoxTheGreen 26th Jun 2015		TV The Hitchhiker (1983 - 1991)	This was on late night in the UK on either Sky One or Bravo. It was The Hitchhiker, never heard of Deadly Nightmares.
RadoxTheGreen 25th Jun 2015		TV You And Me (1974 - 1995)	Is it any wonder our education standards are falling? It's You and I, not You and me!
RadoxTheGreen 25th Jun 2015		TV Cheers (1982 - 1993)	I could have sworn this was already on here.
RadoxTheGreen 25th Jun 2015		TV Who Do You Think You Are? (2004 - Now)	The Ainsley Harriott episode was a classic.
RadoxTheGreen 15th Jun 2015		TV Grey's Anatomy (2005 - Now)	One of the best US TV shows ever.
RadoxTheGreen 15th Jun 2015		TV QI XL (2008 - Now)	Same here.
RadoxTheGreen 15th Jun 2015		TV QI XL (2008 - Now)	It has a regular broadcast slot and is 15 minutes longer than QI, so I've classed it as a separate show.
RadoxTheGreen 11th Jun 2015		TV Doctor Who (1963 - Now)	As site administrator, Dr Doom IS the powers that be.
RadoxTheGreen 10th Jun 2015		TV Dark Shadows (1966 - 1971)	Sorry, that was my fault. I'd seen the late night re-run on Sci-Fi and assumed the original run went out at a similar time. I'll correct it.
RadoxTheGreen 9th Jun 2015		TV Rock Follies (1976 - 1977)	I have the album of Rock Follies of 77. Superb stuff.
RadoxTheGreen 9th Jun 2015		TV The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr. (1993 - 1994)	This series is what the movie "Wild Wild West" wished it could be. Wild West meets steampunk with some alien technology thrown in for good measure. John Bly gets my vote for best villain EVER! Billy Drago should have been given Eric Roberts role as The Master in the Doctor Who movie. Things could have been so different...
RadoxTheGreen 8th Jun 2015		TV That's Life! (1973 - 1994)	Doc Cox released a few lewd records under the name Ivor Biggun
RadoxTheGreen 7th Jun 2015		TV The Invaders (1967 - 1968)	Started well, but waaaaay too long and most of the episodes were ponderous and not that good. I never understood why so many Americans consider this a classic.
RadoxTheGreen 5th Jun 2015		TV TV Offal (1997 - 1998)	How did I miss this?
RadoxTheGreen 5th Jun 2015		TV Only When I Laugh (1979 - 1982)	Michael Bates used to get a lot of flack from the PC brigade for his portrayal of the bearer in Ain't Half Hot Mum, but Derrick Branche got hardly any stick for his blackface role as Gupte. I think he was so good an actor that most people thought he really was Indian. Doctor Who fans may like to note Patrick Troughton was in one of the episodes from series 2 and Mary Tamm was in an episode from series 3.
RadoxTheGreen 1st Jun 2015		TV Follyfoot (1971 - 1973)	I persuaded my parents to get me horse riding lessons after watching this show. Nuff said.
RadoxTheGreen 31st May 2015		TV Pipkins (1973 - 1981)	I'm a bit at odds with IMDB on this one. I've always considered Pipkins and Inigo Pipkin to be different series, with Pipkins being a sequel to the original rather than the same series carrying on. From what I remember, the original show relied largely on "head to head" conversation routines between Inigo and Hartley Hare, and sometimes with Tortoise. It had a cosier feel to it, in the same way that Bagpuss feels cosy. When it changed to Pipkins, I always felt they were trying to make it like the Sooty Show, too much going on. It didn't feel like the same show any more and even back then I was wishing they had just let the series end rather than try to revamp it. Of course, that's how I remember it. It may be a case of memory cheating. Unfortunately, with so many of the early shows lost forever, we'll probably never know.
RadoxTheGreen 31st May 2015		TV Honey West (1965 - 1966)	The novels predated the Avengers, but the TV series was only brought out after Aaron Spelling watched The Avengers (which started airing in 1961) and was impressed with Honor Blackman to the point of offering her the lead role in this show. She turned it down to do Goldfinger. I don't know about credits for animals. I've never seen it mentioned that they can't be added. If they are a major part of the programme's cast then I don't see why not, although minor roles would be a definite no no IMO. Bruce appeared in 17 of the 30 episodes made and stopped at least one bad guy from stealing the car. IMDB have him listed as "actor" so that's good enough for me. As far as Lassie goes, there was often more than one dog in the role during the series. Pal was the principal dog in most episodes and movies, or one of his offspring.
RadoxTheGreen 30th May 2015		TV Honey West (1965 - 1966)	America's attempt to take on the Avengers. The Honey West Cobra still appears at the occasional car show.
RadoxTheGreen 30th May 2015		TV The Clangers (1969 - 1972)	[YouTube Video]
RadoxTheGreen 29th May 2015		TV Crackerjack! (1955 - 1984)	Watching that video it shows how much Peter Glaze was influenced by Oliver Hardy. A lot of similar mannerisms there.
RadoxTheGreen 29th May 2015		TV The Virginian (1962 - 1971)	I used to love this show when I was a kid back in the 60s.
RadoxTheGreen 25th May 2015		TV The Sky At Night (1957 - Now)	They should have made Brian May the permanent replacement for Patrick Moore. It would have been going back the shows roots, someone who was interested but wasn't a "professional" atronomer, just like Moore was when he first started on the show.
