T.V. you used to watch when you were younger that you still enjoy now.

Howard who organises our village pub quiz was a producer for Heartbeat.

Did he not realise that the 1960s' was a decade... 10 years... Not about 30? 😆

I don’t suppose he’s that bothered as it’s earned him enough for a nice big house.

I guess it let them play about with things a lot more to be fair.

I also want to say I, Claudius.

Or "I, Clavdivs", as I used to think it was called ...

The only thing I would watch now, that I used to, is Only fools and horses. It never gets old.

I wouldn't watch anything old now. I have tried (e.g. on Youtube; Thundercats, The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Neighbours, Home and Away) and they just seem naff now. It was sort of nice in some scenes that brought back the feeling of being 8 or 9, but it only lasted a second.

Saying that, my partner has just watched the entire (old) series of Dallas

Love watching the old Red Dwarf and Allo Allo episodes on freeview, plus 5Action have been rerunning the standalone episodes of X Files at 2300+ recently.

True to the title of revisiting stuff I watched as as kid / teenager - Ulysses 31 and Father Ted spring to mind

For anyone not familiar with the Ulysses 31 - look it up; a fantastic amalgam of early Anime, French storytelling and Greek mythology. Set in space. One of the few kids programs I find genuinely holds up to adult viewing decades later.

I've revisited a few other classics too - Red Dwarf, Spaced... although while excellent I have to watch the maudlin nostalgia that sometimes comes attached.

Not really childhood viewing but I tend to re-watch The Sopranos in its entirity every few years and have some more classics queued up for another visit - Twin Peaks, The Wire..

I also like a bit of old telly; The Sweeney, Inspector Morse and more recently am revisiting Homicide: Life on the Street.. but it's not stuff I really watched first time around.

I live in hope of one day being able to attend a fancy dress event as the titular character as I have similar hair and beard; albeit blond. And receding. While I'm a bit rotund..

And hope you are recognised!

I was very young when it was on, so I don't actually remember a lot about it, but I'd certainly re - watch it now after what you said above about it!

Yeah, I suspect the chances of that are fairly minimal given that it's evidently a bit niche compared to other childhood classics.

I'd urge you to re-watch it - IIRC some years ago someone had remastered all of the episodes and uploaded them to Youtube - not sure if they're still on there bit it's worth a look

Anyone planning to watch A Very Peculiar Practice? They're re-running it starting on Wednesday.

I used to like that, so I might see if I still do.

Even after 40 years, I still think 'Buzzard' every time I see David Troughton.

The original Danger Mouse cartoons along with the Count Duckula spin off series.

Not quite the same, but talking of which anyway...:

I think it would depend on the age range of the group you were in, I bet you could start singing the theme tune and lots of people would remember it, even if they couldnt quite picture the show it was from.
