Normanton Lad Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Rubovia was on my watch list. Michael Foot appeared in this episode. My favourites were the westerns. Rawhide with Clint Eastwood - how the hell does he keep going - was good. Bonanza, Wells Fargo, Cheyenne and The Virginian were all enjoyable. In those days the TV companies spent a bit of money on programmes and they made sure the script made sense and had a good plot. This, of course, was before they found out that the mugs would be happy enough watching people sitting around doing and saying nothing of interest. The Virginian had very high production values and the shows still look great today. The main actor James Drury died last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d moved into adulthood when this was on but me and my girlfriend (now wife) used to watch it. I remember an episode where Kevin was obsessed with the new girl in a French class and all he could say was “voulez-vous du beurre“. Me and my wife still say that when getting butter out of the fridge ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wistaston Ram Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Anyone remember All in the game? It was Filmed at Ashton Gate in the late 70s and I remember Derby winning it one year. Cannot remember much about it apart from a few skill tests such as keepy uppie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Chocky or was it called Chosky's Children..? Brilliant sci-fi show about a kid with an imaginary friend...I used to get told I looked like the kid loads..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Some programmes I loved.. Wurzel Gummidge, Krypton Factor and Rentaghost spring to mind. Then a few others that stick in my mind as weird strong moments/scenes in time with little memory of the actual programme. eg 'The Adventure Game' (the last bit where they tried to get across a maze in space to a train I think...) 'By The Sword Divided' (a scene where they ducked 'witches') and 'Dick Turpin' (where someone chased people with dogs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byker Grove Vicky the Viking was class Mr Benn and what was the fantasy role playing game - Knights something.? and then, slightly later in life but still a classic The Crystal Maze I used to hate the 10 minutes of John Cravens newsround.... I also remember not knowing what was going to be on TV next, because we didnt get a daily newspaper, radio times etc... so that was always exciting/disappointing. Radio and TV Times... We had both for the Xmas editions, but never at any other time of the year! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
