This is utterly amazing. It's like my entire childhood in one weekend. Even the 80s shows that were made before I was born (Button Moon/Fraggle Rock/etc) I either saw as they were repeated into the early 90s or I saw them on video.
Ridiculously looking forward to this, think I might just wipe my V+ hard drive and record the entire weekend!!

JA
It was in the launch schedule and last shown three years ago.
How odd - I think I'm right in saying they have been shown by the CITV Channel at some point?
HA
Gonna record all of that, shows how good CITV used to be.

What a great list.
The only thing I think is missing from that list is probably my favourite CITV show 'Bad Influence'. An old computer games TV show hosted by Andy Crane, Violet Berlin and 'the bloke that's now the vicar in Emmerdale'. Luckily some nice person has uploaded all the episodes to the internet, but it would be nice to show the current audience that a show like that CAN be done for a mainstream audience. Although arguably a video games TV show would be more mainstream today than ever.

ALAS we are going to be RATHER Disappointed with Fraggle rock as it the USA series
