Series you would love to see repeated
- Thread starter RubyBlue
- Start date
most of both series are available from googlevideo here. I think they're the un-EGG-ited versions (egg I said egg); they're 45 minutes long.
I always thought the originals were an hour, but I may well be wrong.

missed the last episode on the second/last time it was shown (first time arround for me) due to having to stay over with a relitive on route to grandfather's memorial service.
Annother programme from arround then (early 95) that (iirc) I missed an episode of at the same time, was an anthology called Ghosts.
Had some fucking disturbing stories, the tamest that I remember had an old woman remembering/flashbacks to? how she'd once been a servent girl and seen a ghost in a big house, and the end revealed that
the house was now a nursing home and she was a ghost that scared a staff member
he was found aparently unconsious/dead in his cell, tried to 'bring him back' with the heart paddles/shocks.
acidental resualt stopped him from returning to his body and phisically killed him.

on a similar time frame/theme - Christmas 1994 ghost/horror possession one off tv film The Blue Boy
and Dennis Potter's Karaoke/Cold Lazarus (very unlikely due to the BBC/Ch4 conditions on it being made/broadcast in the first place - wtf didn't I at least try and tape it or the other chanels repeats at the time

Thirded! That's not been on for so long that I'd almost forgotten about it. I've only got one of the episodes on tape.
Also TV Offal.

South Of The Border. One of the few TV shows set in a recognisable London.

I'd like to see Clochemerle again. I have vague memories of it being a bit naughty and funny. I wasn't allowed to watch it properly for some reason. It was about a small village in France called Clochemerle where the Mayor decided to build a pissoir in the town centre and all the problems that caused. I think I might be the only one to remember it.

Hardly getting over it.
With lil ol' peanut-head Caleb.American Gothic
You just want to see a young Swayze in breeches, don't you?North and South is a good one though
My parents liked that and then it was repeated some years ago and they were disappointed. I watched a couple of episodes and shared their disappointment.

I remember Johnny Jarvis. It had a weird old cast, but a good story. Shame those daft cunts at the beeb have made sure no-one will ever see it again.

It was just called 'Vietnam'. It featured Nicole Kidman as a 14 year old schoolgirl. Maybe 14yo s/girls are taller in Oz, but I found her less than convincing.
Oz Hippy chick: 'What do you think of our anti-war protest, then mate'.
Oz Squaddie: 'It's really great to know everyone at home's behind you'. [breaks down and sobs]
I'd like to see Freewheelers again, just so I can tell myself that I didn't imagine it - I really enjoyed this late 1970s kids show, but I never met anyone else who's ever heard of it.

There is only one possible Doctor Who in waiting. All others are false Doctors and must be denied. Kulvinder Ghir.
The proof.
Doctor Who could sleep hundreds of people inside a box with not much more than a square metre of floor space. Indian!
Doctor Who works extremely extended hours. Indian!
Doctor Who is a doctor who offers many services not normally available on the NHS. Indian!
Doctor Who speaks a huge range of languages fluently, many of which are known to pretty much nobody on the entire planet. One of these is his native tongue, yet he speaks English perfectly, though sometimes with an odd accent. Indian!
Kulvinder Ghir for the next Doctor Who. Accept no substitute.
Not least because Kulvinder is just about the only well known actor in the country who can move more elegantly than David Tennant.

You sure you're not confusing Kulvinder Ghir and Sanjeev Bhaskar? I always thought it was Bhaskar who did the over-patriotic Indian bloke role.
And fuck knows I wouldn't want him as the next Doctor Who!

Definitely no confusion. Though you are right, it's Sanjeev Bhaskar does that particular character. He's more a comedian than an actor though. Whereas Kulvinder Ghir is very much an actor who just happens to also be a comic genius. The Doctor has to be played by a proper actor, as proven by Sylvester McCoy screwing it up completely.
Nonetheless it's time the Doctor was Indian. Though I admit I'd settle for Adrian Lester or Victor Romero Evans.
Friends, Top Gear and Two Pints Of Lager, because they're never on even the freeview channels. 
More seriously, Python, Not The 9 O'Clock News, The Young Ones, The Day Today, all the different Partridge shows, Six Feet Under, TMWRNJ and Fist Of Fun, and if we're allowed to include radio, every John Peel show ever.

Days of Hope. The Ken Loach series about the early history of the labour movement. It was shown once about 1975 and never repeated as it was too controversial! There were four episodes and each were feature length, covered all sorts including conscientious objectors/world war I, the General Strike, Ireland - hard to imagine it being made today! Never been released on video or DVD either sadly, as far as I know. Saw the first two parts at the Chapter cinema in Cardiff last year, but couldn't make it to the showing of the last two so I'm desperate to see how it ended!
I was going to suggest The Friday/Saturday Night Armistice, but then I found the whole second series on YouTube. You would think that pre-1997 satire would date badly, but this is still classic stuff. Getting OJ Simpson's autograph before unfolding the piece of paper to reveal "I DID IT" above his name, sending a mass group of Dianas out to make people feel better, and trying to break the then-Tory majority of one by bankrupting one by reverse calling them.

Shall we save up and buy it together?
Also American Gladiators - the late 80s/early 90s version, with Mike Adamle and some grunt. Great post-pub viewing.
