[guitarpete247]

I go back to the 60's and Supercar and Fireball XL5 as my all time favourites.

The Good Life anyone?

Never watched it first time round, but I got into it on Gold a few years ago.

What about Troy Tempest?

You'd probably have to get in the queue behind Marina though.

1984 - 5 so slightly OT

I really enjoyed a series called "Traveling Man" with Leigh Lawson as the ubiquitous framed copper, and John Bird as a Mancunian Gangster


Evocative sound track and a very dark plot

Managed to pick up the box set on DVD last year and it is just as good as it was then

Not even for Diane Keen?

Who appears in the Sandbaggers


But back on topic....

One of my favourites and a worthy precursor to many of the later "Spooks" etc

The Sandbaggers

BBC4 are repeating Ripping Yarns at the moment. Very silly

exactly what I was going to post, I've even stopped watching my DVD box set long enough to watch it on TV, it doesn't date as is all set in turn of the century type settings anyway. My teenage kids, to whom I'm unspeakably naff and beyond all hope, will sit there and laugh at it with me.

BBC4 9pm either Wednesday or Thursday.

ITV4 early evenings is the place for flared trousered cops, spooks and wide boys.

@Cunobelin I loved Travelling Man , anything with narrow boats with me.

& Big Deal with Ray Brooks as a professional gambler who got into Minder like scrapes too. The lovely Lisa Geohegan was another big reason to watch.

Clangers yep
the entire output of Cosgrove Hall for witty kids TV too.

And the closing music:

For their music, imagery and direction, I think the (original) opening & closing credits of The Sweeney are probably the best top 'n tail credits of any tv programme ever.

each to their own

It was a teenage thing tho, I never watched The Bill even with her in it.
