Ours was from DER. 8/6 a week.

 

We stayed with DER right up till around '81 and had our first JVC video player from them as well. Now we can put hundreds of films on a portable hard drive a quarter the size of a single cassette and today's youngsters take being able to do so for granted.

 

Dixon of Dock Green was another favourite.

Evening all, a very human cop

Bill and Ben were so far out, not a single intelligible ( to humans) word said between them in thousands of conversations and yet complete comprehension between them,especially when the gardener was on his way down the path.I used to love imitating Ben, the deeper voiced one to my mother when she made some tiresome request like put my toys away. 'Watch out!'she would say, 'the gardener is coming down the path and he's going to throw your toys away.'

I used to walk like that on the way home from the pub! :)

Star Trek the next generation 

 

 

 

I wasn't so much a "kid" when this was on as approaching middle age, but it was certainly one of my all time favourite series.

 

For UK viewers, there was a time when Sky TV won the contract to show it and the BBC lost it. The negotiations took so long that when Sky eventually started broadcasting the series, in order to catch up to the US they showed one new episode every weekday at 5 pm and 10 pm - an absolute Trekkies heaven. smile.gif

Same here, I was 20 when the first episode aired in 1987 / 88.  But I knew about Star Trek as a kid , and there was a Star Trek movie made in the late 70's around the same time as Star Wars so as a Sci-fi fan I was hooked from the beginning.

In our street we were usually playing 15-a-side football (shirts for goalposts) until someone would shout "Bonanza's on" - then the street was deserted for about an hour.

 

 

Yes I got the whole series downloaded from youtube a couple of years ago, I really enjoyed it, only downsides were some stupid attempts at comedy from Hoss, and the last couple of series after Dan Blocker died were awful.

Sure, Bonanza was fun, until you think about it a little... you have a 50 yr old father w/three 45 year old kids and all look like they are from a different mother... I didn't see the whole series, an occasional episode..

The three "45 year old kids" did have different mothers in the series.

The football one was Jossy's Giants?? Starring Bryan Robson in one episode, if I remember correctly??

That was meant for Bangkok Hatter.
