Omg! Here it is! So, only one series, but a series of 20 episodes. I was 8 years old at the time and didn't always understand what it was about! 😂

@Cerbonny You sound around the same age as me. Did you like the Double Deckers, The Tomorrow People and Alias Smith & Jones as well?

We were sitting round chatting yesterday evening and I happened to mention Robinson Crusoe.

"Who?" said DD. One of the most famous literary works of all time, and she's never heard of him. How did she get to 27 and not know the name of Robinson Crusoe?

‘Our Rita’. Debbie Webster from Corrie.

Jess Harper in Laramie

Zap
The Queens Nose
Woof
The Bill
Heartbeat
Knightmare
Mike and Angelo

I loved the Double Deckers, yes. I never watched The Tomorrow People though. Maybe it was on ITV. My family mainly watched BBC programmes.
I adored Alias Smith and Jones. Pete Duel was my pin-up and I was so sad when he died.

Alias Smith and Jones was shown on BBC2 and our black and white TV could only pick up BBC1 and ITV, so I couldn’t see it. It was something that my friends would talk about (their families all had colour tellies that could show BBC2). By the time we acquired a TV that was able to receive BBC2, Pete Duel had died and had been replaced by Roger Davis. I loved the show but I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode of it from its Pete Duel years.
