    I had a chips policeman set with a beige chips biro. I presume there was more to it but that's all I remember. (Unless all I got was a biro from Santa)

    I actually learned to play the bass part of the chips theme when I got into all that music stuff in the early 90's and can still remember and play it :)

    We did though, didn't we?

    If Chips was made now, they would have a female boss, or a love interest who the two lads fought over.

    All the action shows have been pussified now, made to appeal to girls.

    The 80s was the golden age - Chips, A Team, Knight Rider, all class.
