Old TV Series

I thoroughly enjoy watching New Tricks ,Silent Witness and Spooks because I didn't see them the first time round .
I dislike Trevor Eve shouting on Waking the Dead so I don't watch it .
I hate reality ,soaps and dating shows .
Monday night quiz offerings are enjoyable otherwise I 'm not keen on the latest quiz programmes .

I’ve just been watching Unforgotten,I found it late one night when I couldn’t sleep. It still had Sunny but it wasn’t the same without Nicola Walker as Cassie, and I wasn’t struck on the new cop and her family problems. I enjoyed it though and luckily had forgotten the plots, and no swearing. Now I’m searching for more so thanks for the suggestions.

Have watched several old TV series on IPlayer in the last few years. More recently I have discovered some gems on YouTube, Big Deal being the latest with the lovely Ray Brooks.

We watch repeats of New Tricks. The old ones with Amanda Redman are the best.

New Tricks and Dalziel and Pascoe are my watch list on iPlayer.

I think you can still get Yes Minster and Yes Prime MInister - for me one of the best ever series on TV.

I’m watching the 60’s version of Maigret with Rupert Davies on TPTV Encore online. Really good stories and even though it’s old the sets are great for detail. They have just started showing Sergeants Cork which I remembered watching, but it seems a bit stilted in comparison.

You will find some old things on Youtube. Channel 4 also has All4 .

We are enjoying Frasier again. There are so many old series which we really enjoy although we love new series too. We are just loving Slow Horses on Apple and can't wait for the new series of Dept Q on Netflix.

I find an old series and then watch them all. I've usually already seen them but enjoy them. I've done New Tricks, Darling Buds of May, Doc Martin and am currently on series 12 of Heartbeat. Nothing that takes a lot of concentration 😂

I just finished the last season with Cassie in last night. I thoroughly enjoyed it having missed it the first time around.

I have been watching Danger Man on youtube.

We have started rewatching Foyle’s War. Still good.

We can't stand these crappy reality tv shows and the number of game shows is ridiculous with people jumping about and screaming.
We having been watching U & Drama in the morning - Holby City, Casualty and Eastenders from years ago. We have waded our way through all episodes of Silent Witness, Dalziel & Pascoe and A Touch of Frost to name a few. At the moment I'm watching all episodes of Call the Midwife on IPlayer. Love this programme and nice to go through the stories again.

One of the best old series for me was 1990 BBC series House of Cards. A wonderful series about the underbelly of British politics which is still relevent in many ways.

Oh yes! I enjoy Upstairs, Downstairs and they don't 'make 'em like that no more'!

So-called "reality" tv isn't connected to any reality I can identify!

Slow Horses is brilliant.

I misread what you’d written and thought you wrote The Walking Dead which I really enjoyed watching with my daughter. I’ve never seen Waking the Dead as not a fan of Trevor Eve.
I’ve rediscovered The King Of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond which I only saw a few episodes of each when they first came out and was never really a big fan of but I’m enjoying them a lot more now.
I’ve also started watching Frasier I’ve never seen it before as it never appealed to me but i absolutely love it now. I love Niles and Daphne. Loving Eddy the dog too lol.
Oh I just remembered about Cheers which of course is the precursor to Frasier which I’ve just started rewatching that as well. They don’t write them like they used to that’s a fact. They are truly delightful.
My mornings are filled with entertainment now.
I watch them all in bed.

We have just started re watching some Australian series that we enjoyed 1st time round. A Place to call Home, Offspring, and McLeods Daughters. Several series of each so will keep us going for a while.

I can't stand all these shows with the word Celebrity in the title that pollute BBC1 and ITV and all the stupid, mindless reality shows that seem to be on non stop. I've found the first three series of Soldier Soldier on Youtube, one of my favourite shows from the nineties, and will be watching them when I'm off work.

I've found Moonlighting with Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd on STVplayer.

Oh yes…….we have watched every episode of New Tricks recently along with countless others, too many to mention. I’m presently working my way through Downton Abbey.

I watch favourites on YouTube too. Love the old Harry Enfield progs and Catherine Tate and French & Saunders. We also found some Man About The House on TV at the weekend and enjoyed those too. Nothing modern comedies make us laugh now. Not that there are many on.
