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?

The Boy from Space. The Thin Man was very creepy.

Watching Bouquet of Barbed Wire in 1976 with mum and dad. Not awkward at all.

The scene in The Walking Dead where Glen is killed was sudden and shocking.

YES!!!!!

The Gemini Factor. It was a kids show in the 80s.
I read the book too.
But it was really creepy for some reason.
Does anyone remember it?

The Wire.

Not a TV series, but Wish You Were Here film based on Cynthia Paynes childhood. My mum was a single mum with me at about the same time, and it brought home how brave she was to keep me.

Yes!! I loved this

I loved it as a teenager too. My friends and I desperately wanted Angela's life. I watched it again a few years ago, and it was just as good, but suffused with 90s nostalgia, and I found myself really empathising with Angela's parents this time round 😄

At home with the Braithwaites! Where she won the lottery and didn't tell her family. Such a good series.

The Boys from the Black Stuff

I never watched Flambards but I can remember the theme tune.

Manipulative bastard

Emily Lloyd, (daughter of Roger Lloyd Pack who played Trigger) was really good in that, and it was very intense and has stayed with me. But.....it has to be said absolutely not at all realistic, everything up to her walking across the green with the pram yes, but that moment? No.

That sounds like 5 Children and It, the adaptation of the E.Nesbit book!

Agree with PP. I must have be no more than late teens but Warriors left a lasting impression. The idea that such horrors were perpetrated in real life in Europe in the 90s was really brought home.

Also the west wing for different reasons. Outstanding dialogue, and CJ Craig's character was so inspiring in an early 2000s world of very different female stereotypes.

The walking dead (Glenn episode) cried so much

The Split - I think seeing a woman having an affair and risking their family hit differently to watching the ‘usual’ narrative if it being a man x

The World at War. Incredible series about WWII. The suffering millions of people went through should never be forgotten. It's a hard watch but such an important piece of work.

So many already mentioned on here. I will add ...

Boys from the Black Stuff. Heartbreaking stuff.

The Last Kingdom.

Recently and will stick for a long while - American Primeval

Tenko
Bluebell
the Moon Stallion

The Spooks episode where Lisa Faulkner's character has her head shoved into the deep fat fryer...

The BBC Kid’s programme was The Enchanted Castle aired in November 1979 and adapted from the fantasy novel by Edith Nesbit. I was also terrified by the creepy audience dummies that came to life. They were called the ugly-wugglies and you can find a clip on YouTube - episode 3.

Afterlife
Ted Lasso (I know, I know - it was just so warm & fuzzy)
