Old TV Series You Remember Fondly ...

[abu13]

Some of those have been repeated recently though haven't they Jim?? Certainly Porridge and, if I recall correctly, Reggie Perrin has too.

I believe theycare doing a Citizen Smith special soon so, with a little luck, the original series with Wolfie will be repeated.

Porridge is shown on a regular basis on the Yesterday channel, I have been watching it recently

Again .... not deemed pc enough Abu. Sadly we'll never get to hear Alf's views on the world again.

Yep you are right there, same with this.

Can you imagine a programme on prime time TV going on about nancy boys and Char wallers.

Oops;my fuck up. Humble apologies Never twigged your bit about shows not being repeated. Most of the ones I listed certainly get regular re-runs.

What about Love thy neighbour, Mind Your Language or the Black and White Minstrel show. As Yoda would say; boggles, the mind does!

I'd love to be able to get the 70's tv shows back if only for a week, beats the shit out of all this reality bollocks.

Thing is they were FUNNY and no-one was obsessed with everyone taking (or faking) offence at every comment or innuendo. I grew up watching these programmes but still know the difference between outright nasty racism and things that were meant lightheartedly.

I recently watched It Was Alright In The 70s and got so annoyed at all the fake shock and over the top reactions from a bunch of 'alternative' (i.e. Unfunny) comedians/comediennes and z-list celebs who, from their facial expressions, made you think every 70's comedy referencing colour contained a KKK lynching scene or that every camp character was engaged in on-screen hardcore gay porn!!!
