Anyone else love these 'vintage retro' 60's and 70's programmes on tv at the mo?

[QuiQuaiQuod]

The Avengers- Steed, Peel/King.
The Saint.
Randall and Hopkirk (deceased) love Hopkirk and his wide eyed looks.
Persuaders
On the buses -I love Olive! She looks like Alan Carr!

Main reasons why the spy cult ones are that 2 of my fave ever writers, Dennis Spooner and Terry Nation have written a lot of them, they are also known for many classic Doctor Who's, and I love seeing actors that have appeared in classic Who on these programmes as wll.

Other nostalgic programmes- Heartbeat, Poirot, Foyles War.....theres so much rubbish these days, its great to see proper stuff. anyone else?

Gaah! posted too soon- also, MASH and Dads army and original Star trek.

Not watching on TV exactly Qui but DH and I have started buying some 60's, 70's and 80's classics on DVD. We've just watched all the episodes of Sapphire and Steel and wowee it was brilliant. Very complicated plots but absolutely brilliant stories and acting AND music.

We have recently started Department S, which DH decided to try after the death of Peter Wyngarde (the forerunner to Jason King). If you can ignore the blatant sexism it is very entertaining and captures the 60's really well. And again, they knew how to compose great soundtracks for tv in those days!

Yes l am loving them all OP I watched an epi of the Persuaders this afternoon , I used to love this programme so much!

Me!! I love the ‘On the Buses’ re runs and ‘You’re only young twice’
Peggy Mount still scares me to death though!

I’ll watch the odd episode of Hi de Hi when it’s on. Holidays in that era look absolutely shite, and also hilarious. I wonder if there’s still any terrible camps like that around?

they knew how to compose great soundtracks for tv in those days!

I know! My fave themes are the original Doctor Who arrangement and the Persuaders theme. Also Folly foot and Black Beauty themes.

Agrree, Peggy Mount was scary!

I loved Sapphire & Steel when I was growing up. The soldier at the station one has really stuck with me.
