Alias smith and Jones… .

[Crackle]

I mean they just had to stay out of trouble but every week they found more trouble than most of us do in a lifetime…

I know. I just re-discovered it on itv4, waiting for the Tour. A slice of youth rediscovered. It's the first ones with Pete Duel in. @threebikesmcginty should be right up to date with an 1971 obit. for him. .

 

[annedonnelly]

I loved that program. Thanks for reminding me

 

[Saluki]

I loved this. I wasn't really allowed to watch it so I have been really enjoying it, now it's back on.

I used to love that as a kid.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I have been watching it when I can - great programme.

 

[Dayvo]

I never tire of watching those repeats.

I remember how upset I was when I heard of Pete Duel's death.

One of the best series - western or otherwise.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

It was a great show, must see if I can find an obit for my much celebrated obit thread.

Could do one for Mel Blanc, he died today...





...in 1989.

I saw a lovely film cell tribute to Mel Blanc in a Warner shop not long after he died.

All of the characters he voiced heads bowed around and empty old style studio microphone with Speechless and then Blanc's name and dates at the bottom.

Fair brought a lump to my throat it did.

Back on topic, I remember the Alias S&J series on BBC at teatime when I was younger, really nice to see it getting another outing

 

[davdandy]

Funny you should mention this top show,i have just finished watching tonight's episode.

 

[Arjimlad]

So glad this is on again, got it on series record to share with my boys !

 

[yello]

ah yes, nostalgia ain't what it used to be...

but I too remember it fondly. Watched it as a impressionable young teen in NZ so it's played its part. Hannibal Hayes and Kid Curry (says he without Google) wasn't it???

Thanks too to spinney. I would have remembered the tag line eventually, probably at 3am, so you've saved me a sleepless night!

I sure wish the governor would let a few more people in on our secret.

Also, on 'Pick TV' (Virgin 189), is M*A*S*H!!!!!!

Another classic programme of the 70's/80's
Sadly they've run it out of sequence a bit
