Re: tele
"The Prisoner" is my most memorable. They re-ran the series late at night when I was about 13 and it was my first introduction to Orwellian-style ideas on dystopias and totalitarianism. Fantastically imaginative if a little surreal at times (the cast and crew had to be on an acid trip doing the last episode) and really well filmed and a great location (that I will definitely get around to visiting one day). And give me Patrick McGoohan as a proper leading man any day, yummy! They really don't make programmes like that anymore.
I really liked the late night "show" that Sean Moncrief ran on Fridays or Saturdays about 10 years ago on Net 2. He had re-runs of Fawlty Towers but it was his links that made the whole thing.
What was the kids programme with the young guy that played Arftul Dodger in Oliver? There were furry animals of the Mr. Snuffelupigus (sp?) type in it.
I had a soft spot for Falcon Crest and Knots Landing too. Not to mention Demspey and Makepiece, Cagney and Lacey (on re-runs now, woohoo!), Matlock (!!), Tales of the Unexpected, V, Tomorrow's World, Doctor Who, Jackanory ......
And what about radio - I still miss Aunty Poppy's storytime on Sunday mornings! haha
