Which old comedy/drama would you want to see repeated?

[TheLostWinchesterWife]

Chatting to DH the other day and he asked if I fancied a drink. I said 'just the one.' Both of us looked at each other and said simultaneously, 'Just the one, Mrs Wembley' a line from On The Up. Started me thinking of old programmes that I'd like to see again...not necessarily for their quality, just for nostalgia. Anyone got any (that haventbeen on UKTV Gold )

[SorrelForbes]

Home to Roost was great. It starred Reece Dinsdale who then went on to star in I.D. (the 90s film about 80s soccer hooliganism)

[insomniarules]

The Smoking Room- bbc2 I think, had Robert Webb in. Was very low key but funny.

[42notTrendy]

Early goodnight sweetheart
Butterflies
Ever decreasing circles. Howard and Hilda jumpers still a phrase used in our family.
Drop the dead donkey.
Moonlighting.
Men behaving badly.

[CheeseAndFriedMushrooms]

I used to love The Upper hand also Desmond's, Cold Feet and Where the heart is.

[Portofino]

Coupling - would love to see how the baby changed the dynamics
This Life

[MrsDoomsPatterson]

Just watched the whole series of Butterflies on box set. So good. Bittersweet & sad at the end. Not a Carla Lane fan generally but this is wonderful.

Crapston Villas! Great suggestion. Flossie!!!

[TheLostWinchesterWife]

The two of us..was that Nicholas Lyndhurst?
Home to Roost was great. Showed how goodan actor John Thaw was. You couldnt imagine him as Inspector Morse when you watched thatvhe was just so different.

[MorrisZapp]

All Quiet on the Preston Front

Dressing for Breakfast

Linda Green

Ellen

Early Doors

[GoldenGytha]

I'd love to see City Lights, a Scottish sitcom again,

Pure dead brilliant it was

Also would quite like to see Cadfael again, not a fan of modern detectives but I love the era Cadfael was set in.

[BackforGood]

Not the Nine o'clock News - I'm sure many of the sketches would be a bit dated now as it was so topical, but others would stand the test of time - my dc were in bits when I showed them the 'Gerald the Gorilla' Sketch when Mel Smith died..... "Wild, I was livid!"

[MamaMary]

I used to like As Time Goes By.

Eldorado was rubbish I seem to recall.

[TheYamiOfYawn]

The Avengers (Emma Peel era)
Robin of Sherwood
Press Gang
Blackadder
All Creatures Great and Small

And, errrm, Dogtanian and the Three Muskahounds.

[morethanpotatoprints]

The Good Life and drama has to be Boys From the black stuff, would love to see this again.
Also Not the nine o'clock news, Blackadder, Alas smith and jones, and definitely Cold Feet.

[BreconBeBuggered]

I'd love to see Common As Muck again, especially the first series.

Coupling and Game on were big favourites too, along with Teachers.

Loved City Lights and Still Game.

DS1 knows all the Not The Nine O'Clock News songs. I don't think the show dates as much as you'd imagine, but I'm a terrible old fogey.

[florencedombey]

Would love to see Press Gang again. Also Nice Work (David Lodge's adaptation of his own novel, starring Hadyn Gwynne and Warren Clark).

I have Not the Nine O'Clock News on DVD (wasn't allowed to watch it when it was broadcast). It's still hilarious.

[TheLostWinchesterWife]

Yami you nuisance!!! I now have the Dogtanian themetune in my head and will have for avbout a week
'One for all and all for one ..Muskerhounds are always ready...'
We've just got LoveFilm Instant and I get to watch The Mysterious Cities Of Gold 'ahahahahahaaaaah someday we will find the cities of gooooooooold' wanders off in a haze of nostalgia

[TheLostWinchesterWife]

Common as muck. .I'd forgottwn that one. It was ace!
'I'm a good lad I am'

[MorrisZapp]

I never saw Nice Work, think I must have been in the pub :) Gutted now of course as it's one of my favourite novels.

They did Small World too but I only have a vague memory of it.

I'm not sure I could stomach the 80's production values now.

[curlew]

I am so old I am going to name a couple I bet nobody has ever heard of!

The Virginian
Who Pays the Ferryman?
Softly, Softly.
Spy Trap.

[Doinmummy]

The Virginian !!!! I loved Trampus.

Anyone remember a comedy called A Sharp Intake of Breath with David Jason ?

[curlew]

Really doinmummy? You've made my day! My mother was soooooo in love with James Drury- the house came to a standstill when that programme was on!

[Doinmummy]

I can remember the music even now!

[ShakeAndVac]

Ones I used to love but not seen for years:

Watching
The Upper Hand
Prisoner Cell Block H
My Hero (think it was called that - had Father Dougal from Father Ted in it as the main character, think he was a superhero or something?!)
Goodnight Sweetheart (loved that, but it's usually repeated on telly on freeview)
