Tenko is on again!

[BMW6]

Being shown on Drama TV (sky channel 166) - ist episode today. Anyone interested?

I remember this the 1st time round - 1981 (ish) wasn't it ?

And have watched it again .... ooohhh ..... probably 4 or 5 times since on various satellite channels. May well be drawn in again.

I don't have Sky, but I used to love watching it.

ooh i watched this a year or so ago, my ds also really loved it! then i sort of lost track of it, goes on for a long time doesn't it. still it's a really good series, great cast

Ooh, I dreamt the other night that I was at a Tenko themed party

drama is on freeview channel 20 ( i think) I loved tenco it was on the yesterday channel months ago i spent a whole weekend watching it

love it here too. watched whole thing last time round including the reunion.

Cant remember the name of the Chinese(Japanese?) actor playing the main commander, is is Burt Kwong or something? anyway hes my favourite character in it.

and the one who plays the doctor and slowly loses her eyesight.

We can't get Sky as we back onto woodland - am very jealous, I used to love Tenko

it is Burt Kwouk who was the go-to man for all these roles for many years - AND was Cato in the Pink Panther.

total folk hero. :-)

I loved it, grew up in Singapore in the early 60's (in fact the House Marion lives in at start and finish was our home for a few years)

I loved Tenko, thanks for the info, I have it recorded for next week, the doctor was Stephanie Cole, (Sylvia in Corrie) as far as I remember

Sir why cant you get sky with woodland behind you?
Special yes, thats the one!
shosha wow! claim to fame there!
Ellenora yes, thats the one.

The treeline is too thick and close to the house so a signal doesn't get through. We've had the Sky engineers out twice, but no luck

what not even on the roof on the chimney stack or something? what about virgin tv? does that not have the tenko channel?

Nope - sadly not! We don't have Virgin here either

well i just hope you live in a nice area then! .

my sympathies for lack of sky/virgin. couldnt be without our sky.

Yes, it's v naice - still not sure it makes up for the lack of Sky though

Oh thank you - will look out for it, though telly recorder has just broken [grr]
I first saw it in 2008 just after ds was born, started watching every episode, but sadly only got the last two and the reunion special. Would love to see it all.
