It Was Alright in the 70s

Pebbel Mill at one was what you watched when you were off school with the lurgy.

 

[MrSki]

The Water Margin pre-dated Monkey & was imo superior althouh Monkey may have gone down better with the more juvenile element

"Do not despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say it will not become a dragon?""

...was usually enough to trump most playground disputes round my way...

Monkey was shown in the UK more in the eighties. I used to love it for its comedy translation & voiceovers.

The Water Margin! How can you forget?


The Water Margin was well good & was pretty funny too.

And The Sullivans. Plus they had a Monday movie & a Friday film that was good for afternoon viewing.

 

[MrSki]

I used to like Sir Prancelot just before the Six O'Clock news. I must say I hated Ludvik or whatever it was called.

 

[MrSki]

 

[og ogilby]

Also for those lurgy days.

 

[MrSki]

Was also partial to a bit of French dubbed in to English.

Hector's House

 

[MrSki]

Also for those lurgy days.

I can still remember a couple of the cases.

 

[MrSki]

I was also a fan of Humphrey cushion in Hickory House.

I think I was still pre school when that was on. I used to watch it as Trumpton or similar was on after it.

Does this theme tune not jog any memories?

I remember the theme from this episode. Must have changed it.


This episode also features a youngish Richard Wilson acting for the prosecution.

 

[Citizen66]

I think I watched that once ever and yes, I was off school with the lurgy. I even vaguely remember what the episode was about. Some biker/rocker at a gig smashed a glass which blinded a woman who attended court wearing sun glasses. Mad how I can remember those details although they're probably slightly wrong as in the past when I've revisited stuff (Hammer House of Horror springs to mind) it differs slightly from my memory of it.

Yes, that's how I remember it too. I think.

 

[MrSki]

Yes, that's how I remember it too. I think.

Just watched said episode. Was surprisingly good. Now I know why I would bunk off for a good few days just so you got the verdict.

That's the episodes I remember! One case was shown over three or four days but that is the case that springs to mind.

Mind you the one I have just watched was pretty good. A prostitute charged with perjury. Worth a look if you can spare an hour.

...thought that Pebble Mill thumbnail pic was going to be General Hospital for a minute...( Crossroads with stethoscopes )

 

[hot air baboon]

....I can absolutely guarantee that no other bugger than me can remember Rooms....daytime tv... sort of non-comedy Rising Damp...

 

[albionism]

One I remember most on those days when my mum kept
me away from school to keep her company because she was bored and lonely at home.

 

[MrSki]

Topoff the monkey was my favourite but Hartley was good too.

It's time (lots of clocks) for a story.

Maybe we were both sick on the same week and have finally found each other online in order to discuss it lol.

 

[albionism]

The most terrifying opening sequence ever?

 

[Citizen66]

That's weird, I remember the tune but not the intro. Maybe I'd blotted it out.

 

[Gingerman]

Loads of great tec shows in the '70s,Jim Rockford,Colombo, Hawaii 5-0,Kojak,Streets of San Francisco, The Sweeney just to name a few......

[Sea Star]

Blakes Seven....


The Diddy Men terrified me - or was that 60s?

 

[DotCommunist]

Blakes Seven....

remember how the crew all knew he was a peed (the viewer knew he had been stitched up nut the crew didn't). And they were all fine with it.
