captain caveman different strokes ( for older ones ) murphys mob no 73 ( i think ) going live, sat mornings
Was Murphy's Mob the one about the football club? The stadium being Derby's old Baseball Ground? I have vague memories if that is the case.
Dungeons & Dragons was always my favourite, waited for years and years for it to come out on DVD....then it finally came out and I realised it hasn't aged well, as in it's absolutely horrendous now. A particularly memorable episode involves Venger bringing back a modern day pilot and his into the realm as well as a 2nd world war German pilot and his plane. Venger wanted to give the new plane to the 2nd world war pilot so he can go back in time with this modern plane and win the war for Hitler!....controversial! Knightmare was always fantastic and i still love watching it on youtube now. Went a bit crap when they put the "walking around outside with the crap grainy graphics" bit in though. One of my favourite rooms was one where the dungeoneer walks into a room and there's a huge frog. The frog doesn't move, just ribbits a bit. They try to talk to frog and get no response. They try to offer the frog something from the knapsack to maybe get a password in exchange and nothing happens. Eventually after trying everything with the frog they conclude that there's nothing to actually do in this room apart from walk through the door. And the Japanese stuff of course - Ulyssess 31, Mysterious Cities Of Gold....a bit depressing and seemingly endless though. Transformers - always kick ass, especially Transformers The Movie cartoon film from 86 with the hard rock soundtrack! He Man......oh this was BAD. yeah, I was an 80s kid.
On the Japanese front can anyone remember "The Water Margin" with all the wonderful "Japanese" style fighting scenes.
oh and anyone remember Moondial? It was **** scary, really freaked me out when I was a kid. Bought it on DVD recently and it's still really dark and has hardly aged:
Moondial? I head good things about that one but never saw it. As a kid I remember a series to do with Avebury Circle and whether it was the same series or not, there was something about a grandfather clock as well. Rather chilling stuff. Actually That's Life when it started off was good television but was cheapened over the years and suffered. Now, as you may know I'm trailer trash^d^d living in a motorhome and today we landed in Holmefirth. Yes, the home of Last of the Summer Wine. Now how many people can remember the first series or two of that show? Then it was a great gentle humorous drama. And then They decided to Improve It by adding canned laughter, then slapstick and what most people recall is nothing like the original series. A shame as the original was fantastic. Now back to Rediffusion. Many decades ago my father was in charge of a small gang working for said company and was, one day, working on putting the service into a new estate in Middlesbrough. This estate was such that one couldn't run a cable down one side of a terraced street to the end of the block and then across the main road and then back down the other side. Most terraced houses had Redifussion access in those days but didn't know it. Anyway, a new estate in the 60s meant digging up the road and feeding the cable to the houses in turn so this was a case of going to the planning office in town and getting the charts for the street which should have showed the sewage, the electricity and the gas pipes and cabling. My father went to the council offices and was given a massive plan of the estate. But with nothing marked. When my dad queried this he was asked by the clerk "When you find something, can you mark it on the plan and return it to us?" My dad said that he never saw anyone with a pick axe dig so gingerly as they did on that stint.
My memory of Monkey Magic was it was fairly boring and difficult to follow but the fight scenes were cool and he had his cloud thing. I think if you watched it back now you'd only last a few minutes before turning it off.
