Shows that people forget or get lost in time

What was the strange BBC2 show on Sunday morning presented by that woman from Eastenders Nadia Sawalha, and had lots of old clips in it..???

Your just reminded me of Look around you


There was also another 10mins type show on bbc 2 about cooking with Richard E grant, I think he was moody and drunk.

I've never seen the original Mike and Angelo titles.... it sounds like Never The Twain... which is plain weird!

Thats another one

Here some more sitcoms, first one is a gem:









Here is a thames show that gone under the radar. From the people who brought you End of part one,

I'd hardly put Drop The Dead Donkey in the same category, not only is it one of Channel 4's longest running comedies but it's well remembered, influential and seems to be constantly repeated on one channel or another.

It was a fantastic series by the way, some of the topical jokes need some explaining these days but it stands up well

Yes DTDD was very well observed and had a very wide appeal. One of those shows that works on several levels, whether you're a news junkie, pres anorak or more general viewer it works, even 20 years later

And, like Spitting Image it's a shame that DTDD didn't continue far into the Blair years.

The Dreamstone


Towser


Gilbert's Fridge


Grim Tales


Just Us

Can't mention the Dreamstone without mentioning the War Song of the Urpneys starring Billy Connolly, Frank Bruno and Ozzy Osbourne and featuring long-time cartoon voice artist Gary Martin.

It's last series was made/broadcast in 1998, but it was more a wrap-up of the story and less topical.

I'm not sure it would have been that much interesting or different with a different government, the topical stuff was fairly incidental to the office politics and goings on. Though seeing how different that would have been in the age of rolling news and the sort of media landscape we have now would have been interesting

There was Gus Honeybun on TSW but were there any other regional specific programmes and opt outs on CITV that are not as well remembered by the public as him so have faded into obscurity?

That rabbit was never part of CITV, and was fully networked expect for one time. It was TSW who would opt out of the last links on CITV from 87-89? to get more air time, Yet Grampian and Anglia managed alright.

Here is a post to that one strange opt out on CITV. https://tvforum.uk/tvhome/citv-opt-outs-41885/
