70s & 80's series/Dramas.

[falcon]

I'm a big fan of 70's and 80's t.v series and would appreciate some ideas on what to watch next.

They don't have to be set in those decades, just made then.

One I've been considering purchasing is Upstairs Downstairs, is that worth a watch?

Recent series I've loved are All Creatures Great and Small,Dick Turpin,Nanny,Me and My Girl, Some Mother's Do 'Ave em and Fawlty Towers.

I'd love suggestions of just about anything from dramas to comedies.

tales of the unexpected - just because I read one to ds last niht and reembered how goofd they weere.

[cocolepew]

Cagney and Lacey it was great.

[wessexgirl]

I was thinking just t'other day about 'To Serve Them All My Days'. I used to like that.

And 'Poldark', 'The Onedin Line' type stuff.

Thirty Something.

[southeastastra]

armchair thrillers

[Portofino]

Brideshead Revisited, To Serve them all my Days, Nanny? And noone has yet mentioned the Professionals - my all time fave! Dynasty and Dallas?

[Lubyloo]

Used to love Nanny. How about To the Manor Born, Sorry, Brushstrokes, Rising Damp, Howard's Way.

[Finbar]

Big vote for Armchair Thriller - ther's one episode tha still scares me to this day!

[EyeballsintheSky]

Poldark definitely, fab series. If you like wartime stuff then Danger UXB and Family at War are excellent. I'm a huge fan of 70's/80's stuff. My all time favourite is Shine on Harvey Moon. All great series anyway

[cornsilk]

The professionals is fab if only for Doyle's perm.

[hellymelly]

god,thirty something-I used to love that,I had forgotten all about it.

[wessexgirl]

Tenko - I was obsessed with that programme.

[Finbar]

Secret Army - loved it...and could never forgive Allo Allo afterwards!

Also - Survivors...i SO wanted to be in one of those communes startign over again!!

[ilovemydog]

'Get Smart' is being released as a movie!

or was this just an American series?

[turquoise]

Penmarric
The Mallens
Duchess of Duke Street
Lilly (Lily? About Lily Langtry anyway - Francesca Annis was in it).
The New Avengers
Citizen Smith

Finbar - I loved both of those, but specially Survivors, I still think of it quite often, especially the bit about the mother trying to get to her son.

[turquoise]

And Falcon - yes, Upstairs Downstairs definitely worth a watch, still fabbo.

I was also going to add House Of Cards but I think that is edging into the 90s.
