Old television series

Yes, I do PRINTMISS
Thou shalt have a fishy on a little dishy

James Bolam and his wife Susan not Bolam ?

I had my photo taken with a young John Nettles and his car when we were in Jersey.

The car was real but unfortunately John was a cardboard cutout

We have all four series of When the Boat Comes In and still enjoy watching.

It was such a lovely programme wasn't it? They were hard times but the acting was so good, really enjoyable viewing. Could do with a few more like that, I think.

Susan Jameson is James Bolam's wife. She was in Take Three Girls in the early70s.
A series about 3 'young things' sharing a flat and living in London. Very much of its time.

She also played Brian's long-suffering wife in New Tricks.

And Gerry Booth`s selfish wife Myra in long ago episodes of Coronation Street.
I`m another who loved A Family at War. For humour, I`d love to see Love Thy Neighbour again, PC or not PC. Also absolutely loved The Likely Lads, but apparently James Bolam and Rodney Bewes don`t have anything to do with each other anymore.

The Pallisers is on BBC2 at l.00. I love it, so gentle and slow moving. I only wish I could find it on replay as it's on at a difficult time.

Also love the Likely Lads and I wish they'd bring back The Forsyth Saga. Someone told me the BBC won't do it because it's in black and white, but that's a lot of its charm.

Renember 'Family at War' so well, loved it, Barbara Flynn played the daughter, I have never seen it since it first aired and would love to . Perhaps we should form a consortium to buy the boxed set and pass it around...couldn't afford what they are asking. Does anyone remember The Cedar Tree? a great series. I have most tapes of Upstairs Downstairs and Duchess if Duke Street Need to sonehow get them changed to DVD.

I remember the cedar tree. I was a army wife in perham down when it was aired. We'd just returned from a wonderful posting , my husband was away for months on end and I felt very isolated. I really looked forward to sitting watching it. I also liked family at war a few years earlier.

OH yes, I remember all these. I loved When the boat comes in. Anyone remember Fanny Craddock, and Johnny?!!!!!!!

Fanny Craddock! I remember her being really rude about someone on a programme, but then she was, wasn't she? A bit of a prima dona I think.

Yes I remember,when the boat comes in,and enjoying it.We watch some of the old series,no PCness then.

It's not long since the last repeat of The Pallisers which was a wonderful series - not least because of Susan Hampshire's magnificent costumes! I wish they would repeat the Barchester Chronicles with Alan Rickman's wonderful portrayal of the oleaginous Mr Slope!
