First time since I was twelve I've been going through this series after purchasing the DVD's. Allowances must be made for its age, the fact that it's a kids show and the low budget and child actors in it.., but can't make up my mind if this is brilliant inventive but poorly realized, or just...

Yee ha cowboys! It's Jim West and Artemis Gordon the coolest special agents in the Wild West. Great show. Terrible remake with Will Smith. .

So glad I came upon this show last year. Never seen it before, but it turned out to be real joy. Never knew Timothy West did comedy so well. This is really funny and at times outrageous. A sort of comedic When The Boat Comes In.

Remember this from the seventies? Alan Plater's North of England comedy starring Bill Maynard. ITV's answer to Frank Spencer. Three series were made, the first two with Plater hands on, the third suffered a little ,more varied writers, but still watchable. A fourth series just titled Selwyn saw...

Never saw this 80's series originally but recently gave it a go, mainly because its got Peter Davison ( Dr Who 5) in it as well as starring roles for Graham Crowden ( Soldeed) and David Troughton( King Peladon). It's bizarrely dotty, surreal comedy/drama set in a weird University with rebellious...

1970's spy drama in the Callan mould. This series deals with a fictional mi6 , known as SIS. Roy Marsden stars as Neil Burnside, Director of Operations, and follows his scheming lying cold hearted ways he thrusts his agents into the theatre of espionage. Always challenging to watch, deeply...

Anyone see Inside no.9 this Xmas just gone? It was a cracker .Pemberton and Shearsmith are geniuses. Luckily its on youtube, small picture, but do yourself a favour if you've not seen it.

This is a fascinating series set in a dystopian Britain. Very hard hitting as secret police and invasive big brother style take control of Britain. Woodward stars as a journalist , a thorn in the side of a very nasty regime. It's unsettling to see Britain portrayed in this show . Many ideas from...

Among the plethora of good kids adventure shows in the 70's The Doombolt Chase is an enjoyable Navy skullduggery romp . Frederick Jaeger and Richard Willis in this Don Houghton penned story.

Any fans of this 70's classic? Oi you're bloody nicked mate!

Brought to the screen by the same team that gave us Bilko, with Fred Gwynne and Joe E Ross in the lead roles, Herman Munster and Rupert Ritzik of course. Many Bilko stars turn up in this Police Precinct comedy including the actress who played Ritzik's wife who again appears as Ross' wife, though...

Someone wonderfully has put together a selection of great Avon quotes. I've got to try and include these in everyday conversation!!

This was a real quirky twelve episode show that had great potential but sadly only lasted two series. Billed as the next Red Dwarf and starring Nick Frost and Miranda Hart. I found it hilarious, it's a sort of modern Brit Com humour Sci fi style. The SS Camden Lock a spaceship out in the galaxy...

Anyone remember this series. Created by Richard " Catweazle, Robin Hood " Carpenter. A beautifully written series about a group of ghosts haunting the dilapidated Motley Hall. Led by Sir George Uproar, a veteran from the Charge of the Light Brigade, but died falling down the stairs at Motley...

SKY is available on youtube. It concerns a weird teenager, with bleach blonde hair and Royal Blue eyes from the distant future arriving on present day Earth and is befriended by farm folk. A killer from the future is sent after him. It's some time since I've seen it but I do remember scenes of...

I enjoyed this despite it being a bit hit and miss. It tried too hard to be a bit of everything, Sci Fi, horror, occult, and ended up in a confusing timewarp story. I'll certainly try to get the follow up book. A similarly weird teenage Sci fi show from roughly the same time is "SKY" written by...

One of my favourite ITC shows. Mike Pratt and Kenneth Cope were such a great double act who rose above the traditional crime gene format that the show was anchored to and it was just magical. The funniest episode was 'A Disturbing Case' co - written by Mike Pratt. Other goodies; Murder ain't...
