Yep! At the time they were all ridiculously watchable! The most recent Robin Hood series on BBC was excellent. Keith Allen (?) was awesome as the SoN. They gave him some brilliant lines!!
Along with Robin Hood, Ivanhoe, Sir Lancelot, William Tell. Haven't read through all this but has anyone mentioned 77 Sunset Strip? Or Dangerman?
Magic Roundabout for trippyness. Brideshead Revisited for class. Acorn Antiques (Mrs Overall) for hilarity. MASH for engaging characters.
Back on early Westerns................ Wyatt Earp, The Lone Ranger, The Adventures of Champion( the Wonder Horse) with Frankie Laine belting out the opening song and the Roy Rogers / Gene Autry series. We were the only family in the street to have a TV for some of those shows.
I believe you're right - had forgotten that. Remember "Cannonball" - a series about the adventures of a couple of truckers ? For some reason I was fascinated by that as a teenager - the trucks were so big & powerful.
Ah just remembered: "The Flying Doctor" set in Oz, in Whirliebirds ! "Walamboola base - do you read me ?".
Love Thy Neighbour, Are You Being Served, Swap Shop and Crackerjack very rarely get a mention. The Sweeney, The Professionals, Fawlty Towers, are 3 true 70's classics.
Actually Parky's talk shows were quite good at one time then I thought that he got too swarmy towards they end, I think todays Parky is Graham Norton, sort of, although not in the same league.
Good shout with these shows BMB, seems like we were run by American TV in those days, but Richard Greene saved us lol.
