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.

Clockwise, agreed - I’ve seen a ridiculous amount of times for what it is.

A Fish Called Wanda, similar thing, they put it on when nothing else is on. Late night BBC2 was the place to see the real gems.

Anyone remember the Zoe Wanamaker and Adam Faith show? I remember my grandparents watching that one every week.

Adam Faith and Zoe Wanamaker - Love Hurts I think, but I remember loving it.

Pogles Wood (circa 1969) - so cute

The Riff Raff Element (if anyone can tell me where I can find this I will love you forevermore)

Mike Leigh's Naked with the divine David Thewliss. Dark and strange and also can't find it to watch anywhere :(

@XelaM which version of Parenthood? There was a series not long after the original film (with a tween Leonardo DiCaprio in) and the newer one a few years ago. Whichever channel was showing it dropped it after the first couple of seasons so I never found out how it ended 🙁 It was really good.

This is the one I watched: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1416765/ I think it's now on Prime. I loved it.

Parenthood (TV Series 2010–2015) ⭐ 8.3 | Comedy, Drama

1h | 12

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1416765

Whoever said White Nights - yes! - also The Turning Point - both Mikhail Baryshnikov. I was also obsessed with Triangle - a soap based on a cruise ship - slated generally. Kate O'Mara and Larry Lamb.

Needmorelego · 18/09/2024 13:55

@XelaM I really enjoyed that version. I think Channel 4 or 5 showed the first couple of seasons and then stopped. I never did see the rest 🙁

TV series from the early 1980's "Annika" - about a deck chair attendant on the Isle of Wight and his romance with a Swedish exchange student. Had Jesse Birdsall in it.

I don't think that no one will have heard of it but did anyone else see True Dare Kiss?

Early 2000s.

Came to mind recently when watching Sherwood as I remember Lorraine Ashbourne being in it.

Also Dervla Kirwan, Paul McGann & Pooky Quesnell.

I loved Triangle! Not sure I've met anyone else who remembers it. Wasn't it more of a north sea ferry than a cruise ship?

JohnTheRevelator · 18/09/2024 18:25

I've seen 'Creep',I think. Is it the one set on the London Underground with Jeremy Sheffield in?

Aurora2023 · 18/09/2024 18:36

@Elderflower14 @DreamW3aver thank you both - might have to find a DVD player from somewhere and order - I LOVED this ❤️❤️
