Peyton place. It was so different to anything we had here.

Does anyone remember Rock Follies? Loved that show!

Yes chelseababy, those two Delderfield ones are my favourites too, along with Tenko, Bally K, A Town Like Alice, The Waltons, Cagney and Lacey. Also loved Westerns like The Monroes and The Virginian.

The one I was trying to think of To Serve them all My Day, John Duttine swoon!

Ooooops. Taggart and Love for Lydia. A Horseman Riding By.

Lovejoy - first and foremost

Morse

All Creatures Great and Small

Forsyte Saga

The Pallisers

Upstairs Downstairs

BBC2 dramas like Pin to see the Peepshow, Madame Bovary and Camille

Almost anything in costume but never Catherine Cookson - read all the books but so depressing and samey.

Oh, I had forgotten the Mallen Streak, I loved the series and the book(s).
I have recently purchased the box set of The Forsyte Saga.
I also enjoyed The Onedin Line, The Brothers, Dixon of Dock Green, Quatermass, and the Catherine Cooksons which they still show on the Yesterday channel.

Catweasel.. we used to all sit down and watch it.

I liked Sam and When the Boat Comes In.

Do you remember 'Love for Lydia' ? I was totally hooked on the series.
