I didn't see it at the time as we didn't have BBC but I remember the controversy in its aftermath particularly the lad who committed suicide, supposedly as a result of watching it.

I think it was on early enough on Halloween night, so a lot of kids seen it.
There was one scene with the girl being thrown around the room and then appearing with cuts on her face. I was terrified

Stig Of The Dump is one that seems to be forgotten. Shown on RTE mid 80's though dates from earlier.

Motorbike Trials Show Kickstart and Junior Kickstart on BBC1 in the School holidays in the 80s

Loved that show, nearly broke my arm falling off my BMX trying to recreate some of the obstacles.

Well, Santa wouldn't get me a Motorbike so I had to improvise.

Cracking theme tune too ...

Hangdogroad

Nothing To It! a series produced by Gerry Stembridge in 1987 which was sort of half comedy series, half job seekers guide. There were comedy sketches about a group of people sharing a flat, one of whom was Pauline McGlynn, interspersed with interviews with unemployed young people.

A series going all the way back to the late 1960s/early 1970s called Night Gallery. It was hosted by Twilight Zone presenter Rod Serling and had a similar type of content as that series, each episode`s story based on an eerie painting in an art gallery.

No one remembers it, I think it was Japanese. I loved it so much when I was a kid! Late 70s or early 80s!

I loved that guy, flying around on his cloud and beating up the pig character. I'd completely forgotten about that. Buck Rodgers was also a fav of mine and later Blakes 7

I used to love a Twilightzonesque show called the Hitchhiker. I recently found it on YouTube but didn't have the patience to complete a full episode.

"Best Of The West" which as far as I remember was a single season "Gunsmoke" parody. Essentially all I remember is the villain saying "He's a good man, an honest man. I may have to have him killed."

Yes I remember watching this on RTE( I actually have the complete series on DVD now) and other Irwin Allen series, Land of the Giants and Lost in Space. He also created the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea series but this was before my time and I never watched any reruns or DVDs of it.

branie2

I liked Land of the Giants as well

Does anyone remember "Soap"? I used to watch repeats of it in England around 89 or 90. It was a precursor to "Benson". It was ridiculously mad.

nope, as squawker said he had no tail!

A Team Vans... Well, apart from not having 'A Team' printed on the side, I pretty sure the van was originally grey and black (with a red stripe) not just black...

No, but I remember Benson well. I used to think that mansion they lived in and that was featured in the opening credits was the White House.

Did RTE broadcast later episodes of The A Team with Robert Vaughan as boss?. Can't recall seeing them.

branie2

They did

I'm sure it's been mentioned but

The streets of San Francisco

With Michael (sex addict) Douglas

And Karl ( drunk/melty nose) Malden

I don't think they were credited that way.... but well worth a watch for all you young whipper snappers that can withstand watching standard definition and like a bit of classic Tv

Yep. "Confused?, you will be." Didn't see that much of it but I remember it as pretty funny. Where Billy Crystal got his break.
