Some great memories here, I really love some of these nominations. I've just thought of another one. The Flane Trees of Thika from about 1981.

Call The Midwife is FAB
Grand Designs although I’m never sure it fits the programme

Always had a soft spot for Degrassi Junior High Smile

I work with a Ulysses. The poor boy is in his 20s and from overseas. He looks SO baffled at people of a certain age singing at him. I took pity and showed him the intro credits on YouTube.

He was even more baffled Grin

Was Champion the Wonder Horse a programme?
The song is stuck in my head but I can't remember anything else.
