RadoxTheGreen 25th May 2015		TV Count Arthur Strong (2013 - 2017)	I preferred the radio series but still enjoyed this. It's an odd show, on paper it has all the ingredients that would normally have me running a mile (cheap sets, clichéd scripts etc), but it's strangely compelling viewing.
RadoxTheGreen 25th May 2015		TV Space: 1999 (1975 - 1977)	Why were they always whispering?
RadoxTheGreen 25th May 2015		TV Robin Of Sherwood (1984 - 1986)	Seen it, camped out at Robin's lake and had breakfast in Crom Cruach (sossie sarnies). Also, a friend's daughter played one of the villagers. In my former job, Phil Rose was one of our regular customers, getting deliveries of stone and concrete to his farm just outside Bath.
RadoxTheGreen 25th May 2015		TV Walking The Nile (2015)	I haven't watched this yet (I will eventually), but someone at work raves about it. One for the wishlist.
RadoxTheGreen 23rd May 2015		TV Timewatch (1982 - 2011)	The BBC still consider this a current series but all they've broadcast since 2011 is repeats of previous shows, so I've marked it as closed.
RadoxTheGreen 23rd May 2015		TV What The Ancients Did For Us (2005)	Not the clearest title screenshot, sorry, feel free to replace it if you have a better one.
RadoxTheGreen 23rd May 2015		TV Doctor Who (1963 - Now)	I disagree. This isn't IMDB, it isn't necessary to list everyone under the sun. That's why I only listed the Doctors, and even then was adding three times more cast than the site would normally list. Update: However, I have moved Bernard Cribbins to a more logical position in the list. Update to the update: and I was fully expecting someone to add the companions sooner or later. One day we may have the chance to add details of individual series within each show. For me, that would be the ideal place for listing companions.
RadoxTheGreen 21st May 2015		TV Doctor Who (1963 - Now)	Biffbampow, I'd recommend you try some of the Big Finish audio plays. Paul McGann has done the role of the Doctor justice in those, especially where he's teamed up with Sheridan Smith in the role of Lucie Miller. Colin Baker's doctor is given the chance to shine too, allowing his TV persona to mellow, as was always the intention had he been allowed to continue the role as planned. The Big Finish romps for Jago and Litefoot (Talons of Weng Chiang) are good fun too and well worth a listen.
RadoxTheGreen 19th May 2015		TV Catweazle (1970 - 1971)	[YouTube Video]
RadoxTheGreen 19th May 2015		TV Jupiter Moon (1990 - 1996)	[YouTube Video]
RadoxTheGreen 19th May 2015		TV We Got Married (2008 - Now)	[YouTube Video]
RadoxTheGreen 19th May 2015		TV The X-Files (1993 - 2018)	No, I haven't gone potty, it really is a current series. The first episode of the new series of the X-Files premieres in the USA on Sunday January 24th, 10pm on Fox Network, after the Superbowl.
RadoxTheGreen 17th May 2015		TV Begin Japanology (2007 - Now)	An episode of the series from their official (?) YouTube channel. [YouTube Video]
RadoxTheGreen 17th May 2015		TV Family Guy (1999 - Now)	You beat me to it, I was going to upload this in the next batch :)
RadoxTheGreen 15th May 2015		TV The Clifton House Mystery (1978)	I have them both but not currently in an uploadable form. I haven't rigged the VHS player up to the computer yet. Dr Doom put Stones up on the DVD site so he might add the show here.
RadoxTheGreen 14th May 2015		TV Grange Hill (1978 - 2008)	I remember watching an episode of The Young Doctors (Aussie soap) where Dennis Jamison gave Tania Livingston a 7" record because he thought it was a tune she would like. When she played it, the track was a full version of the theme from Grange Hill.
RadoxTheGreen 14th May 2015		TV Multi-Coloured Swap Shop (1976 - 1982)	HTV man? You'll like what I'm about to load up then Biggie.
RadoxTheGreen 14th May 2015		TV Bullseye (1981 - 2006)	The cruelest show on TV. "Well, you messed that up, but never mind, you go home with a set of darts. Now let's have a look at what you could have won" (Cue wheeling out of luxury speedboat).
RadoxTheGreen 14th May 2015		TV Multi-Coloured Swap Shop (1976 - 1982)	I've clicked seen it, but I have to admit it would get switched over once Tiswas started on HTV. Keith Chegwins gurning mug leering out the screen, or the potential of seeing Sally James in a wet T-Shirt. Forgone conclusion really.
RadoxTheGreen 14th May 2015		TV Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? (1973 - 1974)	I preferred the original series "The Likely Lads". It was black & white and set in a factory. Most of what I remember revolved around the lads dating the factory girls. In the end titles of Whatever Happened you see kids playing in the ruins of the demolished factory. Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? was created to promote the introduction of colour TV. The BBC wanted a colour show that people would tune in to watch. Because The Likely Lads was so popular, they chose to do a sequel series set after Terry's return from the army.
RadoxTheGreen 12th May 2015		TV Get Some In! (1975 - 1978)	It's worth tracking down, it's a very funny show. It's on YouTube at the moment, hopefully won't get pulled.
RadoxTheGreen 12th May 2015		TV Get Some In! (1975 - 1978)	Tony Selby thought this series would be as popular and long running as Dads Army. Unfortunately, the less than PC comments of the character he played have consigned this series to remain on the shelf with the exception of a very heavily edited UK Gold re-run.
RadoxTheGreen 11th May 2015		TV Taiho Shichauzo (2002)	The subtitle on this title screen has a spelling mistake - it's Taiho not Taihou
RadoxTheGreen 11th May 2015		TV The Golden Shot (1967 - 1975)	I remember Bob Monkhouse in an interview saying that there was one time a stage hand got shot by the crossbow. They played it down and rapidly installed blocking mechanisms to prevent the crossbow straying away from the target zone. As you say, they would never be allowed to do the show today.
