Tv programmes you wish you could see again

[NoEffingWay]

Possibly for the first time:

It's a sin-watched it again but almost unable to as found it so upsetting the first time
Pramface-bbc3, not on iplayer but genuinely funny.
Survivors-bbc remake from about 10 years ago
Handmaids tale-and stop at the end of season 2

Anyone looking for Midnight Caller or Chips can find both on Freeview channel 96. I'd love to watch the Grimleys again, Noddy Holder,Brian Conley, Amanda Holden. Never seen it repeated anywhere.

I'm going to suggest The Monocled Mutineer. Although I know that Ian bleasdale's interpretation of the life of Percy Toplis (who was not a good man) was glossed and romanticised it absolutely pointed me in the direction of socialism. I took history at gcse at the same time and we went to interview WW1 veterans in the community. The MM plus lots of reading including Wilford Owens poems gave me an insight into the horror and brutality. I was able at 14 to talk to these men with a little more insight and understanding and they were shocked at my knowledge but appreciative of my willingness to listen and learn. The MM shaped my life and I am very grateful for that. It's never been repeated as far as I recall and it provoked questions in parliament. I have it on DVD and it still affects me now after all these decades.

@Latenightreader oh DVD's I must investigate!

Haven't got to the end of the thread yet, but The Killing (Danish original) is on iPlayer! It's now the season the marvel at fluffy jumpers and revel in the acute gloom yay.

Danger UXB

Ooh Sunset Beach. I was hooked on the Saturday afternoon catch up.
I was on holiday during the week of the very last episodes and never got to watch them!!

Ah so many, Kizzy, Follyfoot Farm, Grange Hill, Angels.

Mash, Tenko, Taxi. I enjoyed Soap. All pretty bonkers and frightened me stupid with the supernatural stuff!

NOT, I repeat NOT Mind Your Language So wrong then and even more wrong now! I don't know if I should mention it may be on YouTube....

Butterflies and The Young Ones for sure.

The Goodies, The Professionals. Thought Doyle was lovely back then but Bodie now

A film called Deadly Summer with Pauline Quirke and (I think) Francesca Annis.
Haven’t been able to find that any ideas anyone….?
It’s a brilliant black comedy.

Ashes to ashes- loved it!
Green wing

Would be great to have Spooks back.

Brookside
The Walton's
Ramona (my absolute favourite as a kid!)

Dexter. We've watched all the seasons twice and I'm always jealous when people are watching it for the first time.

Pushing Daisies
Love & Marriage
Coming Home/Nancherrow
The Grimleys

@honkytonkheroe Dexter is coming back! It's called Dexter: New Blood and is set 10 years after the finale.
I want to rewatch the TV adaptation of Seesaw by Deborah Moggach. It was about the kidnap of a middle class girl and how it affected/blew up her family.

Brilliant news! My husband will also be very pleased. He hasn’t suggested watching it a third time yet but I don’t think it’ll be long! I must say I liked the early seasons most though and didn’t want him ever to get found out! Seesaw also sounds good - exactly the sort of thing we like! Thank you.

There was a series called "Love Hurts" around 1991-1992 on BBC1, starring Adam Faith and Zoe Wannamaker. She was worked as a high flying City banker and he was a cockney self made wheeler dealer entrepreneur type. They fell in love despite their differences, it was so cute but I have never, ever seen it anywhere since.

Yes and baby Alice

@TheRebelle Bob and Margaret has been on Netflix/Amazon Video (can’t remember which one) a couple of times over the last few years.

@BringMeTea Pond Life was so funny! It’s on YouTube now.

I also watched a programme called Joking Apart that was on in the 90's but never see it repeated

Watched that as my own marriage broke up .Written by Steven Moffat who went on to write Dr Who and Sherlock.

Also loved “Love Hurts” and “A Kind of Loving”

Neverwhere

Band Of Gold

Gladiators . . . . . . Awoogaa!

Oh another that I loved (80s?) “tales of the golden monkey”

I rewatched a bit of “monkey” recently and am surprised by how much it was such a big thing.at the time. We tuned in every week.

@VienneseWhirligig was Love and Marriage a 1980’s /early 90’s documentary ? I recall watching a series which followed a variety married couples and showed their lives in quite a lot of detail. Never been able to find out anything about it on google though
