I want to reminsisce about crappy old (not kids) TV programmes. Anyone care to partake?

[MrsSprat]

Just had a hankering, points for obscurities with ludicrous premises

OK I'll start: Midnight Caller
Jack Killian, late night San Francisco DJ and sometime crime-fighter(?), with a Moonlighting rip-off will they/won't they thing with blonde boss.
Really rubbish.

Can't believe no one's mentioned Tenco.

(i also cried when Robin of Sherwood died - )

Ooooh and the one where one of the McGanns was a male nanny (oooh how outrageous!).

Sapphire & Steel

Twin Peaks

Tales of the unexpected (I used to giggle because there were "naked" people in the opening titles}

There was one which was a bit like an early version of the Crystal Maze - had funny monsters etc - might have been called the Adventure Game

Used to love Rentaghost as well

Oh yes - The McGanns and Honor Blackman - The Upper Hand ??

Duty Free

One with Nicholas Lyndhurst and a woman (think her name was Elaine in the show) Just the two of us or something ?

Has anyone mentioned Highway to Heaven yet, with Michael Landon from Little House on the Prairie.? He was an angel or something.

Was always on when I was s'posed to be revising for my finals. We used to get to the exam hall and instead of discussing revision beforehand, we'd all be discussing Highway to Heaven.... Happy days.

ooh penny and vince !! They were the Ross and Rachel of their day werent they!

HIghway to Heaven used to make me cry I think it was a Michael Landon thing - possibly my first crush (along with Leo Sayer [blush[)

Just The Two of Us was great with the old grandad. What about that one about the couple fron up north called Malcolm and Brenda. What was that called? And 'Me and My Girl' with Richard O'Sullivan.

Angels

What was that programme which featured a yacht in the opening sequence? It's bugging me now

I remember that - it had Liza Tarbuck in it ... Watching ?

I heart Richard O'Sullivan. Robin's Nest.

Also does anyone remember the sitcom that launched Lesley Ash's career? It was called The Happy Apple and was about a secretary in a marketing agency.

Black Beauty - the series.

LA Law

The Professionals.

I lurved it.

It's still on some random channel occasionally (ITV4?)

Fab but crap iykwim.

Don't remember the Lesley Ash one - remember the awful one with Amanda Holden as a receptionist. Think it may have had Caroline Quentin in as well ..

margoandjerry I do remember the prog...

Nancy was a junior secretary
In an advetising agency

to the tune of Mozart!

Cats Eyes

puppymonkey - you remember it! And the song!!!

Honestly I was staring to think I'd hallucinated the whole thing. For some reason I've been obsessed with finding someone else who remembers it

I remember any old tatt me!

Nicky Henson??? was her boss. Quite dishy.

Do you remember Life without George with that bloke from Hi-de-hi and the woman with long hair?

Also The Lives and Loves of She Devil.

I do remember Life Without George - and I rmember the them tune to that too.

It's two by two-hoo... 'cept for you-hoo

I need to get out more don't I?

I was trying to rack my brains thinking of it so thank you!

Lives and Loves freaked me out at the time only because there was a sex scene with Tom Baker in it.

DR WHO IN BED WITH A LADY!!!!!!

How about EMU-TV with Rod Hull and Emu and Grotbags the green skinned witch played by Carol-lee Scott?
Also Worzel Gummidge, Rentaghost and Stig of the Dump?

I think I was thinking of Howard's Way which has already been mentioned or possible Triangle.

Lives and Loves was a great programme

The Thorn Birds?
