Random programmes you remember?

[Wishfulmakeupping]

After watching worst tv of the 90's on five I was having a quick google of worse tv ever and one show universally panned was one I loved- called 'out of this world' 80's sitcom about a girl whose half alien and another one me and my sister remember but no one else about a ghost haunting a family that had moved into her house after she'd choked on a chicken bone.
What ransoms do you remember?

Wasn't morcheeba but began with M I'm sure of it and meant some sort of genetically modified beast.

Does anyone remember these?

Quick, Before they Catch Us

Randall & Hopkirk (deceased)

Also Network 7, and Sykes.

Chimera?

Does anyone remember an Australian programme about a vet in the country?

Not A Country Practice, not sure if it was a kids programme or not, but I remember it being on in the school holidays, maybe late 70's/early 80's

Richmond Hill, about a police station again in Australia!

Chopper Squad

Why are so many of the things I remember Australian?!

Or how about a Sci Fi thing about a boy with very blue eyes

Think it was called Sky?

I remember Randall and Hopkirk (deceased). It was on around the same time as The Prisoner, The Saint and Star Trek. It was one of my favourites. There seemed to be many more good programmes on then

Seaquest DSV was another I watched - kind of an underwater Star Trek!

I used to watch Randall and Hopkirk deceased

R and H deceased used to be on on a Sunday, I think. Must've been late 60s?

I used to like the Persuaders with Alexandra Bastedo and a very, very hot guy whose name I can't remember. On about the same time. Sundays were a bit of a telly desert...

What was the programme with Willy Wombat in? That was on a Sunday too. Happy days.

Not sure if these have already been mentioned but two programmes from the 80s that I remember that no else seems to are Box of Delights (shown one Christmas I think) and a weird programme set in Norway with lots of creepy dolls!!

Early Morning Weekend kids TV.
Gilbert The Alien. They had a "SPACESHIP" that landed on a different part the UK each week.
I used to buy LookIn mag every week, which was basically the TV Times aimed at kids, with comic strips featuring FIVE STAR, and letters from 9 year olds saying they loved Jason Donovan...
They never replied to my question though. Were Cannon and Ball/Little and Large the same the people/person?

@FelineJustFine did Gilbert used to hang out with Gareth from How 2 on occasion. I've got a vague recollection of him and the Gummi Besrs being on

Dodgem! Sean Maguire when he was a wee lad. I had to google the name as all I remembered was them rolling in some nettles to get sent to hospital? Bit random. Off to watch it on YouTube....

I've just read the entire thread. I cannot believe that others have remembered Barnaby Bear and Murun Buchstansagar as I fully expected to be the only person with those memories .... i'm ancient ...

Anybody remember Maelstrom which was a thriller based in Scandinavia somewhere?

My childhood was full of obscure sitcoms like Mrs Noah, Dear John, Only When I Laugh, The Happy Apple (albanian national anthem!), On The Up, Sorry etc.

@glitterglitters Yes! you're right, just watching YouTube there and it was indeed the lovely Gareth with Gilbert the Alien. Reading the YouTube comments I just realised that Jon Culshaw was the voice of Gilbert.
That's your useless fact for the day.

@FelineJustFine as useless facts go, that's a pretty good one

@FelineJustFine wow you couldn't t more 80s than this 😂

@glitterglitters That picture. Oh dear 80s fashion is very unforgiving. Still, it brought a smile to my face on a dreary Wednesday morning.

Anyone remember the haunting of Cassie palmer in the early 80s? It was about some weird bloke who was dead called deverill and a girl called cassandra. All I can remember is an old woman finding treasure under the floorboards and her saying "I'll be jiggered"

Anyone remember lollipop loves Mr mole with Peggy mount?

Chocky and Chockys children on children's ITV. So scary I remember the children were called Matthew and Polly and this blue alien thing from outer space used talk to Matthew. It was quite scary when you were 9 years old!!

Can anyone remember Asif? With characters Sooz and Jamie, can’t remenver the other names. I used to watch it st the weekends when I was off school, in the 90s/00s

Not from my childhood, but when I was a student I put the TV on in the day once and there was what must have been a show from the 60s, called Man In A Suitcase.

The brief scene I saw involved a man in a suit in a club/bar and a very 60s dolly bird in a mini and all dancing up to him. Their exchange went:

Dolly bird (somewhat belligerently) 'Do you like my legs?'
Man in suit (very much on his dignity) 'They're all right.'
Dolly bird (defiantly) 'You love them. You can't take your eyes off them.'

That's all I remember. When I tell people in RL they all think I was dreaming/hungover/stoned, but I swear to God I saw it.

Actually from my childhood and teens, I loved Heartbreak High. And from very early childhood, Bagpuss was wonderful. So inventive and joyous, but very serious about its music and creativity. There was an exhibition about it at the V&A childhood museum recently and it is still glorious.

Seven Little Australians (No one ever remembers this)

Noggin The Nog (Little Viking who lived In The Land of Ice and Snow)

Richmond Hill - Lunchtime programme set in an Australian police station
