Well, The Crystal Maze has. It was a regular fixture of The Bigger Breakfast when it launched in 1997, and I think had been part of the C4 school holiday line up before that.

I remember several episodes of the Goddies being repeated in the seventies. I saw Kitten Kong several times, and this was long before Video recorders. I guess the repeats stopped when the series came out of copyright

Kinvig, a 1981 LWT sitcom starring Tony Haygarth and Prunella Gee, has never been repeated at all. I remember liking it, too!

Don't know if one-offs count, but legendary hoax Ghostwatch certainly has never been repeated on any channel.

Hmm, interesting but a few are wrong. I'll mark the ones I can remember being repeated on terrestrial or reasons as to why not.

Crime Traveller
The Brittas Empire - Repeated
Knightmare - CITV programming/gameshows on ITV rarely get repeated
The Goodies - Virtually banned since mid to late 80's
The Crystal Maze - Reached a natural conclusion apparently so no need to repeat, just like Treasure Hunt
Goodness Gracious Me - Repeated, twice
Clarence
The Adam & Joe Show - Repeated in the dead hours of 4Later during '01-'02
The Armstrong & Miller Show - Low ratings
Naked Video - Filler pap & low ratings
Randall & Hopkirk Deceased (2000)
Happiness - Repeated
Big Train - Also repeated, stopped mid-series during repeat though
Liar
The Glam Metal Detectives
Stressed Eric - Repeated in 2003/4

I can and most likely shall be wrong but I don't have any Radio Times dating back a decade or so laying around to make sure. You can add to the "Why aren't these repeated? It's that Bliar government and asylum seekers, it is!" list Jam and the not oft repeated The High Life .

The Goodies was repeated on the Sky Comedy Channel in the early 90s. It made people realise that the fond memories were misplaced and that actually it was rubbish.

No it didn't. Don't ridiculously try and attatch your views onto everyone else.

Personally, I think The Goodies is fantastic, and it makes me laugh more than nearly anything else made in the last five years. That's just my opinion - I wouldn't dream of trying to make it look like it was the only one.
