Old TV programmes you liked but no one else remembers

I usually prefer the original shows over the newer versions but for TOL, I prefer The Outer Limits (1995–2002) over The Outer Limits (1963–1965), although I sill like the old one.

Space Precinct. It was created by Gerry Anderson of Thunderbirds fame and as the name suggests, it was set in in outer space. It had human and puppet characters and apparently cost a fortune to make. It only lasted a season, probably because it wasn’t very good.

Think some people are ignoring half of the discussion title as several of the shows named do not fall into the "no-one else remembers" category.

Re: Worzel Gummidge. It ended when Southern TV lost the franchise for that area. There was actually an attempt to bring it back soon after with Worzel moving to Ireland but it was cancelled just as filming started due to union issues.

They even did casting for the Irish series. Hugh O'Conor and Aisling O'Neill (Carol off Fair City) were to be the kids.

Some more info on the Dublin Suite.

Shown on RTE 2 on October 26 1986.

Edit, I was incorrect about the cast not being credited, I missed this. :further edit. "Enda Williams" is the name Eana Macliam is credited under here.

Newsradio old American sitcom joe rogan was on it he was ok as an actor .Mary Tyler Moore show .it was quiet funny .ruby Wax BBC show she interviewed famous people including donald trump. The avengers .UK action adventure show with Joanna Lumley from the 70s

Lumley was in the New Avengers with Gareth Hunt (later of the suggestive Maxwell House coffee ads) and Patrick McNee. The original Avengers from the 60s had Diana Rigg.

Going live on BBC Saturday morning they would have interviews with pop stars and comedy sketches I think people would phone in live and ask questions of the pop stars .

Freaks and geeks it had a great cast it was a comedy drama about teens going to high school

Square pegs with Sarah Jessica Parker teens in high school in the 80s still worth watching on YouTube it was her first tv role

Surfaces from time to time on digital channels, Alibi maybe.
From similar era - the Inspector Alleyn Mysteries with Patrick Malahide, two series of 9 episodes in total.

Don't Wait Up. 1980's BBC sitcom starring Nigel Havers (when he seemed to be in everything) and Tony Britton as a father and son who both leave their wife's and end up living together. In my mind I always thought it was a short lived series but looking at Wikipedia it seems to have ran for 6/7 years.

It doesn't seem to have been repeated in quite some time. The last time I saw it was on Gold (or at least I think it was). But that's going back a while.

Mind Your Language

Very funny

What is fascinating about Mind Your Language is that despite the belief it's a racist relic because tbf it's written with very little research about how languages actually work, like no knolwedge pf the similairties of Romance languages and what not (I have a Spanish-speaking English friend who has talked about this), the series was bizarrely massive in Asia, with an additional series made purely for the international market that only some ITV stations carried.

I remember on twitter, someone was saying that he remembered while working at an HMV, an elderly Indian chap kept demanding 'where's Mind Your Language? It's the funniest program'.
