Most memorable tv programmes

Re: Blessed Trinity

lots of memories there, definitely watched too much tv.
Man from Atlantis - Patrick Duffy in that living room in the swimming pool - brill.
Rent a Ghost
Most bizzare storyline in the The 'A' Team had to be one with Culture club & Boy George in it??
Battlestar Galattica - new makeover series out now.
Does anyone remember a BBC programme where a phoneix came out of the fire - kids programme.

Armchair Thriller when parents where away.
Hong Kong Phooney - the mild mannered janitor
Blue Thunder
Flash Gordon B&W
Rocketman B&W
Famous Five
Battle of the Planets - GForce, the best
Bionic man

And finally my favourite -
SALVAGE ONE
Once upon a time, a junkman had a dream...
"I'm gonna build a spaceship, go to the moon, salvage all the junk that's up there, bring it back and sell it."
So he put together a team. An ex-astronaut...a fuel expert...they built a rocketship...
And they went to the moon. Who knows what they'll do next?

Re: Gladly

Yep, I've got a vague recollection of this programme also. Was it called Elephant Boy or somethin' and I've a feeling it was loosely based on the "Jungle Books".

It was screened around the early to mid 70's (I think)? :rolleyes
 
.

Anyone mentioned The Beachcombers yet? I loved that show.
 
the phoenix out of the fire

could it be The Phoenix and The Carpet? Based on the book by E Nesbit. I videoed it for my kids who didn''t get to see it at broadcast time. Engoyed it myself.
 
Re: Gladly

Hi endowed

Yes I think you are right "Elephant Boy" is what I remember.

Was Beachcombers the Canadian one which featured "nick the greek".

Anyone remember "George the Dog" it was made in German or Swish with english dubbing Although the St Bernard could be understood in any language.

Arthur Murphy Readers Letters - The Worst Programme ever!

Arthur Murphy Readers Letters - The Worst Programme ever!

Does any one remember this condescending tripe. Us one channel landers had to put up with it for several years.

If the letter was critical a from Co Kerry (say) the actor/ess affected a ridiculous phoney Kerry Accent (or where ever else). However if the letter was praising RTE it was read out with all the respect you would expect at the Gospel reading on Sunday.
