Name a film or tv show you think no one on here has heard of -

[peachese]

So for tv show:

When the Street Lights Go On.
Really good and equally as sad.

Films …. Maybe Creep 2004, I just rewatched it all these years later. But maybe it’s not as obscure as I think.

I've just googled The Power of One, and it's available on Disney Plus.

Tv show..
summerland

movies
the deep end of the ocean
the ghost ship which in my opinion is very very underrated

I was a Nanny in the 80s. The children watched this, Dogtanian and Willy Fog!!

Yep used to watch this… loved the crossover ep with ER too… (I know all ER episodes off by heart )

It’s niche but I knew someone would know.

Willy Fog had the best theme tune! So many did in the 80’s actually, Bert and the Racoons, Jayce and the Wheeled warriors, Cities of Gold, Ulysses. We googled it and the same guy wrote a lot of them. It’s a shame they aren’t like that now.

There are loads of films I wouldn't necessarily recommend but I always used to be surprised no one else had heard of. We watched them repeatedly at church youth group, so at the time I assumed they were regular films, but as an adult I always get blank looks if I mention any of them. Things like The Gods Must Be Crazy, Marcelino Pan y Vino (not the cartoon series, the film), Les Visiteurs (I used to love that one), the first Asterix film ...

Secrets- Australian film starring Dannii Minogue

Clockwise- John Cleese film

A Cry in the Dark- Meryl Streep film about a woman wrongly imprisoned for murdering her baby- Azaria Chamberlain- it was a huge story in Australia

Malice - Nicole Kidman & Alex Baldwin

Murder One tv series

Honey we're killing the kids

The Leaving of Liverpool

Someone mentioned Warehouse 13 which I loved, it was quirky! Also Fringe and rewatching Grimm.

The whole film is on YouTube

I’m rewatching fringe right now for the hundredth time 😂 I had to watch Joshua jackson as he’s looking so dapper these days. Also loved Grimm

I was going to say this! Really underrated series. I have recently rewatched it on a streaming channel, but can't remember which one.
So instead, I'll say Nathan Barley, a Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker series about annoying idiotic hipsters. Eerily prophetic.

For films, I'd have to say Kin Dza Dza, a low budget Russian SF film like no other. The DVD, annoyingly on two discs, has English subtitles.

Oh I loved this! Thanks for reminding me 😊

How about Packet of Three and Blue Heaven

Both vehicles for 90s Frank Skinner

Dempsey and Makepeace 😊

Paramount plus only available to rent. Cheeky as I have a paramount subscription.

He played a baddie in the good wife.

The brief is things you think no one has heard of not programmes millions of people watched in the 80s 😁

Wow, the theme music popped into my head the second I read this and yet I'm struggling to remember details! But I definitely watched!

Clockwise used to be on terrestrial tv in the UK at least once a year. It was one of their stock films to fill the schedule when nothing much was going on. Surely everyone's heard of it.

Clockwise film is a study of a time when the roads were quieter , the trains were British Rail and life seemed a lot simpler ( although if he'd had a mobile phone , it would have been easier for him all round !)
A lot of those type of films are rarely on tv anymore. Too old I guess
Dancing Queen with Rik Mayal is a similar kind of film

Tinga and Tucker, a children's show from the 60s. Two little koalas and various other animals, I loved it. Nobody I tell knows what I'm talking about. 🤷

I enjoyed that series although parts were a bit crazy.

Was First Born the thing with the half human half chimp or gorilla baby?

Eeeeh I loved that film and no one ever knows what I'm talking about so thank you!

Yes Gor
