Bonanza of the westerns. There were others but my brain hurts and I can't recall the names.

One of the British ones I watched every episode of was The Prisoner. Excellent series but I still wonder why, during his escape attempts, he didn't think to carry a pin?

Till Death Us do Part. Very non PC in today's world but bluddy funny.

Steptoe and Son.

The original Dr Who where each episode was around, I think, twelve weeks not the single programme teeny trash of recent times.

Yeah, Monkey

my favourite of all time..

Born from an egg on a mountain top,

The punkiest monkey that ever bopped,

He knew every magic under the sun,

Tease the Gods and everyone can have some fun

Chorus.

Monkey magic, monkey magic,

Monkey magic, monkey magic ooooooooooooohh........!!!!!

especially when vivian was kicking neils severed head along the railway track.

Actually Vivian was kicking his own head along the track. They were on the train and he had stuck his head out the window. Have to agree that it was a great couple of series.

As mentioned Monkey , Streethawk , Night Rider , Spiderman and so many others.
