Bet you still watch Torchy.
It's weird that in the early days of television everything was innovative and magical basically because we'd never seen anything like it before and by modern day standards it is very tame. I was 5 when Noggin came out and six when Four Feather Falls and Torchy came out but Gerry Anderson created stuff that was new, believable (despite the strings) and exciting for a kid. It's as though childhood lasted longer - and maybe it did.

But I used to love Robin Hood, Take Your Pick, Opportunity Knocks and Ivanhoe. Occasionally - when my nana was looking after us we'd be allowed to stay up to watch Benny Hill which was considered a bit risque in 1960 - my nana certainly blushed from time to time. And I'll never forget the theme tunes: Ivanhoe, Robin Hood, Champion the Wonder Horse etc.

I'm still excited by developments in filming technique - CGI blew me away - but despite how crap that old shit that old folk still like looks nowadays, back then it was as mind blowing as anything that happens nowadays.

On another note.....can't remember what it's called but the text editor that is used on here for messaging - a free generic thing that you can import into any web design - has a bit of a problem on here inasmuch that e.g. italics are locking in and can't be removed despite backspacing to where they were initiated. It's a very old ASP tool  I seem to remember from another life.....wondering if there's a bug mods?

Jodie Comer was brilliant, but the script of the second series was sadly lacking.

The Capture was interesting, but I can't pretend  to understand all of it.

Fireball XL5 and Supercar were good for their time.

I think this thread has become a nostalgia fest for tv shows we loved not hated.

Breaking bad is good but is vastly overrated. 

It should not be in the best show ever conversations.

Top Gear used to wind me up. I just don't think they were as funny as some folk cracked them up to be and Clarkson in particular is/was an annoying twat in need of a good slap.

Formula 1. I don't mind seeing 2 minutes of highlights if it's a good race but it just goes on for hours and hours and some sad muppets - one of my sons included - even watch the practice runs. Even at it's best it's a 2 or 3 horse race unless there's a massive pile up, so I don't get why the rest even bother.

I quite enjoy a pile up.
