Bullseye coming back has made me think this .

These are the programs I’d like to see shown again:

Winner Takes All
Generation Game
Punchlines
Krypton Factor
Crackerjack
Ever Decreasing Circles
Terry and June
A Fine Romance
There’s No Place Like Home
3-2-1

I apologise - some programmes above are ‘ones for the teenagers’

Going for Gold! Was that Henry Kelly?

I love Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes. Gene Hunt forever.

FastnetLundyRockall · 11/12/2024 17:13

Ever Decreasing is on Now TV. Are you Being Served is definitely on a freeview channel somewhere

mondaytosunday · 11/12/2024 17:34

A Fine Romance is available on ITVX. Ever Decreasing Circles is on Sky. I only checked those two so I'm sure others are available if you search.

Tony Robinson's "Maid Marian and her Merry Men".

And "Trap Door"

And yes, I watch telly.

Edited

These are sensible choices. Terry and fucking June, Jesus it was as funny as mud when first aired. I watch telly too.

I need to see The Last Train again but it is never shown🙄

I'd love to see it again, it was brilliant. It was the first thing I saw Nicola Walker in, it deserves a repeat or a Blu-ray release.

OnlyFrench · 11/12/2024 17:49

I had family members appear on The Generation Game and the Krypton Factor. Still have a video 😳 of KF but GG was so long ago that my dad actually took photos of the TV with his Polaroid !

What was the one on Saturday, live from Norwich with Nicholas Parsons? We used to watch it when we visited my Auntie as we weren't allowed to watch these kind of programmes at home. I can remember sitting through the Money Programme and Songs of Praise on Sunday. 😬

@Auburngal we all know a Hyacinth! Sadly, sadly in some respects ;), that post war lady stalwart is dying out. Fave K Up Appearances episodes?

I know many long suffering ‘Richards’! ;)

Felt sorry for Richard as he went to work to have a rest.

He was forced to take early retirement.

Hollyhollyberry · 11/12/2024 17:58

i loved escape the hounds….i want that back!

Auburngal · 11/12/2024 17:58

Ever Decreasing Circles is on U Player (formally UKTV play) same with Are You Being Served?

@unsync Live from Norwich was Sale of the Century

It's on YouTube

Auburngal · 11/12/2024 18:01

As a kid, on Sunday on BBC1, they used to have 3-4 Tom and Jerry cartoons. I love them and got all their cartoons for £10 amzn.eu/d/hi1tSdm

And Nanny with Wendy Craig.

OytheBumbler · 11/12/2024 18:05

Definitely Blockbusters but it wouldn't be the same without Bob.

I'm singing the theme song in my head now!

LeggyLinda · 11/12/2024 18:18

A modern version of 3-2-1 would be OK.
But the rest are probably best left forgotten

Ladyswhatlunch · 11/12/2024 18:35

The Cedar Tree

Ladyswhatlunch · 11/12/2024 18:40

@Bonjovispyjamas And who remembers California Fever?

Me! 🙋🏻‍♀️ loved the theme tune!

Life on Mars was great. If we are thinking old game shows I use to love The Adventure Game.

LlynTegid · 11/12/2024 18:56

Original versions maybe, not remakes that lose the essence of a show and the era in which it was made.

As an example, remaking The Inbetweeners would be dated because teenage lives are very different as so much is via smartphones.
