    The Equalizer

    Edward Woodward was just an absolute bastard in the Equalizer. Middle aged bloke and you really wouldn't mess with him.

    Wind in the Willows

    All good cartoons. I can't remember many of the books/presenters Jackanory had on but that was a favourite. Rick Mayall doing Roald Dahl's George's Marvellous Medicine was brilliant and it's still etched in my memory.

    The 1960's TV series?

    If so, it was brilliant. Remember watching it years later and realising it was even better than I thought it was when I watched it first time round. Picked up all the bits which as a kid I hadn't noticed.

    Wow.............Rediffusion, now theres a blast from the past. We had that too. Who says that cable TV is modern technology!! A white square of plastic on the wall with a grey dial in the middle and numbers around it. Our town still has the building that had the antenna that took the signal and sent it down the cables.

    Chorlton and the Wheelies was one of my favourite cartoons, also Terrahawks, Catch the Pigeon, Wacky Races and for a bit of Yank flavour, BJ and the Bear, The Fall Guy, The Dukes of Hazzard and Hardcastle and McCormick.

    I remember staring through the shop windows of Rumbelows and Radio Rentals and getting the football scores on a Saturday afternoon. None of your smartphone apps, just good old Ceefax.

    Nev's not contributing much lads.
    TV wasn't invented when he was a lad.
    They had a bakerlite radio and all crowded round it with woolen tank tops and cocoa.

    Are we just listing every single programme from years ago? As some of the ones listed were absolute garbage, they really were!

    I mean rent-a-ghost, That's Life???? Can we just mention the decent ones at least?
