    The Irish rm.
    Does anyone remember that.
    Neil toibin was in it.

    Yes, almost every Irish character actor of the time was in it at some point. His character Slipper reminded me of this eccentric oul lad who lived near us.

    I can't imagine a WG episode without Jon Pertwee.

    "Baa, Baa Black sheep" not an agricultural show dealing with racial injustice on the farm, but a War show set in WW2. I remember the CGI was a bit meh even for the era, but fun to watch.

    If I recall correctly the main star of that series was Robert Conrad who had made his name in the 60s in the Wild Wild West.

    On a similar note, Tim Severin's The Brendan Voyage... and its wonderful associated soundtrack by Shaun Davey.

    Anyone remember the Black Sheep Squadron?
    "They were a bunch of misfits who became ace fighter pilots"

    I think it was on in the early days of Sky and we used to watch it after school.

    That's BaaBaa Black Sheep, as mentioned above.
    It was retitled to sound more on the nose.

    It’s actually a true story (well based on) Pappy Boyington was real. I read the book a few years back.

    what was that pop video show on rte that replaced mt usa?...it featured vox pops from the public before each video?

    late 80's me thinks

    Spotted a listing online from RTE Guide X Mass 1987 for a show called The Hotline Video Show, presented by Barry Lang. Might that be it?

    no it had nothing to do with Barry Lang,

    it was a programme that had no presenter just vox pops from members of the public between the videos

    There use to be a questionnaire show. Can't remember the name or if it was on ITV or BBC but at the end, they'd always give the contestants a copy of the paper from the year they were born.

    Gillette World Sports Special
    Relic Hunter
    Cleopatra 2525
    The Adventures of Sinbad (the 90s one, not the crappy new one)
    Jake and the Fatman - obviously a lot of people remember this, but why isn't it ever on tv anymore? One episode called "It Never Entered My Mind" had the first appearance of a certain Dr. Mark Sloan, a medical doctor who solves crimes...

    Mattie, Pat Shortts followup to Killinaskully. I think Pat himself would rather forget that one. Even the crowd who lapped up Killanaskully didn't take to it. It was then retconned as Sgt Mattie and managed to be even worse.
