    The Onedin Line, Poldark, and Upstairs Downstairs as was Tales Of The Unexpected. Can anyone remember a horror series in the 70s called Night Gallery as far as I know it was made by NBC.
    As we had only one chanel RTE it used to be on Satutady nights around 10pm. I think Peter Cushing, Vincent Price and Christopher Lee were the main characters. My friends babysitter used to let us stay up and watch it. I used to have nightmares after it. All the above would make an excellent channel.

    That's a brialliant schedule the OP but together. It brings back some great memories of some programmes which I had forgotten such as Daktari. Frontline, Where in the World and although we weren't farmers we would watch Mart and Market and Landmark just before the news at six. It just shows you how straved we were of channel choice back then. Thre is is a couple of other shows I would add that I remember such as the Hardy Boyzs, the Famous Five, Wurzel Gummage. There are one or two American shows I liked Trapper John MD I think it was set in a hospital, The greatest American Hero, Grizzly Adams, and my favourite Hill Street Blues.
