What obscure tv shows do you remember watching, but no one else really watched or remembers it so you feel alone?

[Soubriquet]

I have a few. I used to love watching certain shows but no one I knew watched it. So it felt like I was the only one at times.

Hex
Dollhouse
Dark Angel
Roswell (the original not the newer one)
Firefly

It was called ‘Handful of Songs’ on ITV

9 yo me was devastated - & still is to a degree...(nothing's ever forgotten 😁)!! Can't believe he jacked it in to be in bloody 'Riders'. Imagine how batshit the fandoms would be around it if it was on now!!

@Vesuviusbeats I know right!?? God there were some horrific shows in the 90s 🙈😂

@Theeyeballsinthesky I loved Takes of the Gold Monkey!

oops. tales, not takes!

Flambards it had lots of horse riding in it and a girl called Christina.
Also The Sullivans about war time Australians. Loved them both.
Also remember The Mallens. That was based in NE England long ago. Very good series to watch.

I loved that! Vincent the lion? And Sarah Connor?

@mbosnz my grandad was in a couple of the Littlest Hobo. I've tried to get episodes on DVD but the don't have those episodes released.

I'd completely forgotten about The Murder Game, that was brilliant

@aliensprig i came on to say the murder game!

The Day of the Triffids.

In the 70s, a children's teatime series about a girl playing in a boys football team. I think it was called Striker, but I haven't been able to find anything about it.

Red Hand Gang and The Littlest Hobo you have to be a certain age for.

The tribe 😀

I used to watch this!

@risefromyourgrave I still remember the theme tunes to Mulberry and The River. Every time I have to say the word ‘Mulberry’ (which TBH is not very often…) I say it in the old lady’s voice!

DH and I were talking about it last week. I said I liked Mulberry as a dog's name but he said it would be awkward to stand at the back door and shout "Mulberrrey!"

Yes

Remember boy in a van in one scene

Who sir, me sir

Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris

Barriers

"The Virginian" shown I think on Friday evenings.

Agree about American Gothic and Due South

The Galloping Gourmet - American cookery show on in afternoons in U.K.?

Daria?

This is so niche I had to google it to make sure it wasn't making it up. "Airport Chaplain". Aussie daytime soap with such low production values it made Home and Away look like `Citizen Kane. Every week an airline passenger would have some catastrophic crisis of faith which the vicar would sort out (or not) inside half an hour. The kind of show you watch through the cracks in your fingers. I also remember Itv kids show in the seventies. Fuck knows what they were on but they made a whole bunch of shows with a supernatural theme-Ace of Wands, The tomorrow people etc. But the hands down weirdest was "The children of the Stones". If you submitted a script like that today for consideration you would be getting a visit from social services.

Neverwhere. Was in the mid 90s & no-one else remembers it.

About Striker

On IDMB

"One of my favourite TV series as a lad. Corrie's Don Brennan played Ben's Dad. He was an ex-footballer who had broken his leg and had to stop playing. This caused Ben's mum to have to get a job. She was killed driving into a bridge in an effort to get home one night. As a result, the Dad hated football and wouldn't let Ben play, despite him being a talented player. They arrived in an area which had a hopeless team. Ben joined secretly but his Dad eventually found out. After a row and stand-off, he agreed to coach the team. Another part of the story concerned a local girl who was also a brilliant player, and the team's efforts to find a way to get round the league's 'boys only' rule. How did the team get on? You'll have to find and read the book! The second series, like the book, was called 'Striker- Second Leg'."

Handful of Songs - this brings back memories

@GloriousD yes!

He made a multi layered roast and didn’t he roast a mouse as the inner layer? That’s what my childhood memory is saying. I remember he dragged a reluctant woman out from the audience to eat with him!

Another one..80s..flute playing public schoolboy who is orphaned, then finds out he was adopted. Links to Austria/ Hungary.
