The favourite 80s song thread has made me nostalgic. My favourite 80s TV serial was Robin of Sherwood. Great Saturday tea time viewing.

It’s set in the 80s so I’m gonna say the goldbergs—- I know it’s an imposter but I love it. I wish I was the mum!

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 01/04/2018 23:09

Beverly Hills 90210 was always one of my favourites.

Rentaghost - I loved it

5foot5 · 01/04/2018 23:30

Can't believe nobody has said Bergerac. I used to have a bit of a crush on John Nettles actually.

Lovejoy was all good, especially the early series.

Spoog1971xx · 01/04/2018 23:38

Young ones

MoodyMumOfOne · 01/04/2018 23:40

Starsky and Hutch...which one did you fancy?! I had a poster of David Soul on my wall as a teen! Blush but most of my mates preferred the other one!

HildaZelda · 01/04/2018 23:43

Absolutely loved Fr Dowling Mysteries. I was a bit of a weird child! Also, Dogtanian and the three muskahounds and Around the world with Willy Fogg, where Transfer (the baddie) used to scare me shitless.

Oh and I feel very nostalgic for the BBC school's programmes - Listen and Learn with the Magic Magic E.
