80s TV - does anyone remember..

[Newgolddream70]

Annika? It was a three-part series in 1984 with Jesse Birdsall. I have no idea why this popped into my head although I was driving in an area earlier today where I used to hang out in my teens so maybe it's because of that. Anyway .. remember being glued to the TV at the time and I loved it.

This has lead to another memory of Wish You Were Here with Emily Lloyd. Jesse Birdsall was also in that and fancied himself in his striped pyjamas 😆

Annika (1984 TV series) - Wikipedia No.............. but theres a wiki page on it. I was only 10 so probably doing homework or in bed when it was on.

No, BUT randomly Annika popped up in my Amazon Prime TV-feed last week!! I live abroad so it’s categorized as a Foreign Thriller. It also looks quite up to date. Maybe it’s a remake?

I do remember Wish You Were Here, and also Emily Lloyd (and faint memory of a tragedy/misfortune relating to her?).

I did a Google as well and saw the most recent listing. No idea if it was the same story but in '84, it was THE thing to watch at the time. I was 14 and it was the perfect coming of age story.

Wish You Were Here was definitely of it's time so you have to take it in context. It was such a sad story really.

I'm nearly 53 but looking back with my teenaged mind.

I was too young for Annika but I loved 80s kids dramas. I do remember Jesse Birdsall in Eldorado though!

I think Jesse is/was(?) married to the actress who played Cassandra in Only Fools and Horses!

Jesse birdsall is my crush he is so hot!!!!. Loved him in bugs. Think anika is on you tube well a little bit of it

I'm sure wish you were here was it is on itvx

No idea sorry, but cannot pass up the opportunity to say

'Maracooss!'
