Great Forgotten TV Programmes

[Cadiz Seagull]

Hypotheticals on BBC2

One of the best programmes on TV IMHO.

I wrote to the recently suggesting they think about resurrecting it but had a reply from a 12 year old BBC oik saying they didn't think it was appropriate.

Bitter, me?

[El Presidente]

I can vaguely recall a kids TV drama that used to be on ITV in the 70's called Ace of Spades or something similar. It was genuinely scary, lots of stuff about evil powers coming through telephone wires etc. Lots of ravens, and the 'hero' had black hair, beard etc.

That kids programme with Paul Nicholls in it.
Tenko.
PD James - The Black Tower

 

[Robot Chicken]

A list of great but forgotten or never to be repeated TV shows. I remember this one in the late 80's , early 90's and I seem to remember it had a certain Mr Jason Orange from Take That in it. It was on Channel 4 I think.

Killer Net.

Any others ?.

Also starred Paul Bettany. Just recently bought it on DVD. So nice to see some of the action was filmed on the West Pier.

Absolutely brilliant, let's start a campaign to make BBC bring it back.
