Tv series that stuck with you

[SecretLifeOfTeachers]

I was watching an old episode of gogglebox - they were watching the final episode of Its a Sin and I instantly started tearing up. I remember when I watched it I couldn’t stop crying for hours - the scene where the main character is in hospital and tells his mum, he just looks like a scared boy. I thought it was a fantastic series but il never watch it again.
Is there a scene in a series that just sticks in your head and that emotion comes straight back as soon as you think about it?

Yes I watched this with farrah fawcett and it really stuck with me too - it was based on a true story. Can never listen to Duran Duran hungry like a wolf without thinking of that tv movie!

Benidorm-the one where they found out Mel Harvey died (the actor who played him actually passed in real life, I was an early 20 something then and it's stayed with me since 💔)

Yes this.
DS was the right age for all the good Doctor Who's. The Weeping Angels, Gas mask children, The Library. I did love DT and BP and the Bad Wolf Bay ending was very moving.
Yes to Cold Feet and the unexpected death of Rachel - so shocking.
Sexeteria stayed with me! Seems unbelievable that show was on every week.

Several from our Friends in the North
Several from This is England
Loads from anything Russel T Davies has done- Queer as folk, the second coming, Cucumber, Years and Years.
Proper writing, not all this crime shit were being fed these days.

Years and years ago. A series called survivors where there was a pandemic and only a few people survived. They shot an innocent guy for rape before the real culprit confessed. I was a child but it stayed with me

This was 1974 or something - I remember watching an episode where the group had taken a homeless man into their fold and he was sitting with a blood stained blouse crying he was was "sorry"

These have stuck with me and I've rewatched them at least twice!

I was going to say Chernobyl too, the most impressive tv series I’ve ever watched. Still think about it regularly now, that first episode
just haunts me

Agree!

There's a scene in an episode of Tin Star where the main antagonist finds out that Tim Roth's character has just killed his best friend. He finds him burned alive in his car, and through the whole scene "I Salute You Christopher" by IAMX is playing as he breaks down.

Really got to me for some reason.

The 'Pine Barrens' episode of The Sopranos is an all time great.

"He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians...The guy was an interior decorator!"

"His house looked like shit."

Some that have already been mentioned by PPs, the original House of Cards, Tenko, Inside No. 9.

Also, Anne of Green Gables especially when Matthew dies, I bawled.

Bangkok Hilton with Nicole Kidman arrested wrongly (I think) for drug possesion in Thailand. A scene where a fellow English speaking inmate is executed, terriying and forever connected to the song 'Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz'

A British kids programme on BBC in the 80s. I can't remember the title and have never been able to track it down. Set it Edwardian times, a group of lonely, bored children are left to their own devices in a manor house. One thing they decide to do it put on a show. They make their own audience out of stuffed clothes. The audience comes to life, as these hideous things and the children don't know what to do. Eventually the get the audience to follow them outside into the gardens and walk them into a pond or lake to drown them. Utterly terrifying to 7 or 8 year old me and indelibly marked in my memory.

several episodes of ER, especially the one where Dr Carter reads the last letter about Mark Green's death

Star Trek Deep Space Nine

My teenage daughter got me into Kpop/Korean dramas. My first Kdrama was a series called Crash Landing on You, and I loved every minute of it. I honestly don’t remember the last time I cried so much when watching a tv series.

Gosh yes the Leaving of Liverpool, another one- the kid going deaf, the kid drowning 😩

Anyone remember 'The Family' that Irish drama by Roddy Doyle from the 90s. I remember the scene with the mother singing cilla black in a club but it was all so gritty.

Last episode of This is us, all the feels 😭💔

The Leaving of Liverpool was so absolutely heartbreaking, i definitely couldn't watch it again, especially not now after having kids of my own.

Bouquet of Barbed Wire and the cliff scene

Me too! That moment when Richie’s mum tells Gill he’s died - I really didn’t expect it. I thought he’d have a bit longer.

I most remember classic 80s possibly early 90s kids shows
Round the twist - weird scary show about a family who lived in a lighthouse.
The girl from tomorrow - I so wanted to be her!
Eerie Indiana - more weird scary stuff.
Oasis - about a city farm with a very young John Simm staring in it.
Heartbreak High (the original version) - I used to watch it with my mum, who was otherwise very prim and proper.
The Borrowers.
Moondial - something about a secret garden and some kids who came out to play at night, presumably they were ghosts or similar.
Looking back it was all heavy stuff.

Bagpuss

The Wire- D'Angelo asking "Where's Wallace?" 😭

Grey's Anatomy- so many episodes but especially Stairway to Heaven.

I agree with the poster who said the Heartbeat episode with the farmer and Nights In White Satin playing, that has stuck with me for years.

This Life

The Spy

Law & Order SVU

Chernobyl

The stand up to cancer one on Gogglebox.😭😭😭
