    Nowhere Man ran for one season in 1995. It was about a photojournalist played by Bruce Greenwood whose identity was erased.

    The Prisoner. I know it was made in the '60's, but it was really weird.

    No one remembers it, I think it was Japanese. I loved it so much when I was a kid! Late 70s or early 80s!

    Just so you know: there is now a live version if it available on Netflix ...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    A.D. A religious drama series based on the Acts of the Apostles, made in 1985.

    Wasn't there a religious current affairs-type programme of the same name?
    I think it was broadcast in the mid to late 1970s.

    It was quite recent, but HBO's "Carnivàle" was brilliant, pity they didn't renew it after leaving it on a cliffhanger. Also relatively recent and pretty good indeed was "Dead Like Me".

    Have you seen, or were you aware they did a tv movie of Dead Like Me to basically wrap things up? I wasn't a fan of the film. Felt the tone was different.

    Did a search and see some mentioned like T-Bag. And 2 shows I've rewatched recently - Box of Delights and Mysterious Cities of Gold.

    A show I really liked as a child that only got one season was The Visionaries.
    Alfonso Bonzo was another weird one.
    Jossy's Giants with the catchy theme song - Football's just a branch of science.

    And then there's the show we got to watch while in national school on BBC - Look & Read which would be a scripted series one day a week with the likes of Badger Girl, Through the Dragon's Eye, Geordie Racer and Dark Tower. (I see they're all on youtube so will be busy watching those at some point)
    Other days it would be all educational with the likes of

    And now because of trying to think of something for this thread I was reminded of "There's somebody at the door!" from Rod & emu

    The last show, 'Jigsaw', used to feature a character called Noseybonk and he used to scare the crap out of me. Creepy bugger.

    If you have Freeview, a lot of the channels with,shall we say, higher numbers have a load of those old programmes that I barely remember.

    Talking Pictures TV (highly recommend, by the way) are re-running Gideon's Way, a programme I barely remember seeing only a listing for because it was on far too late for me. It stars the late great John Greigson and is from the early 60's.

    "The Invaders" is running on another channel. Forces TV is showing "Special Branch" from the 1970's and was showing Hogan's Heroes.

    And don't forget "Tales of the Unexpected" now on Sky Arts on Saturday mornings, complete with camera lens flare and dodgy outfits (and the delectable Cherie Lunghi).

    Gideon’s Way top ITC series
    Special Branch like two different programmes, the VT series with Derren Nesbitt and the later George Sewell episodes shot on film. Both released on DVD by Network

    Anyone remember a tv show on ITV in the mid 80's called "Your mother wouldn't like it" ?

    I loved it as a kid, it had loads of sketches and skits - they did a spoof version of Grange Hill (which I also loved) called Palace Hill, and a spoof of He-man called Twee-Man, his nemesis was "Toilet door" skeletor :)

    Great memories :D

    I'd say not too many people remember C-P & Qwikstitch. It was one of those things that before the advent of the internet I thought I'd imagined. I could have sworn there was a version dubbed into Irish as well but this might be a false memory.
