TV Shows that will never see the light of day again

Why do you never see them broadcasting at the same time? You watch them on seperate channel numbers, but it is the same physical space that the two channels are broadcast on.

Yeah I figured can't understand why they don't just put them on the same bloody channel and take up 2 spaces for the 4 well on freeview anyway would be tider

It's so that the kids channels are in the childrens sections or EPGs and so that the little'uns don't get adult programming popping up after bedtime stories.

The BBC take quite a lot of effort to seperate the 2, even down to having automatic switch off for both channels should CBBC/Cbeebies still be 'on air' after 9pm

3 old-ish game shows, all ending in 'out', that seem to have run out!

That would be Turnabout, Talkabout, and Wipeout (the latter had a good little touch-screen based final game) which I myself can't find in this day and age. I would have expected some sort of channel to show it, but it seems not.

There's loads of others that I'm sure are not currently, and probably will never be, shown on TV again now or later in this lifetime (barring the slender future possibility of backwards time travel, a likelihood so small it is negligible).

Someone mentioned Today's The Day - that quiz with former BBC newsreader Martyn Lewis? I remember it, late afternoon or early evening on BBC 2 in the 90's.

Today's The Day used to be on in what is now the Ready Steady Cook slot on BBC2. Ready Steady Cook (with Fern Britton) didn't used to be on as often as it is nowadays.

Reminds me of a similar one on ITV in 2001 - 'Never Had It So Good' with Matthew Kelly and Roland Rivron etc. Used to be on before the revamped Crossroads. That'll never be shown again.
Wadge! Guess who did the pilot folks..?:

Wasn't this an Asian soap - the name Family Pride springs to mind...


Series 1 and 2 repeated on Channel 4 in 1993. Ditto Granada Plus in 1996. Up to and including 1991 Christmas Special on Carlton Kids.


Weren't both Gerry Anderson?


The scourge of ITV mornings during school holidays...you'd think they could have put UK material on!


Available on two DVDs. BUT the titles/credits are not the same as the BBC1 versions.

Made with crews in Frankfurt and The Oberengadin, Switzerland. Katia Polletin (Heidi) has been linked to architecture websites while Katharina Bohm (Clara) remains a successful actress.

Unless you live in Malta.. the original series starts airing there later this month apparently

There is a chance the original series could air here again as UK Gold showed the later episodes in the late 1990s.

with the exception of Yvon Grace's carp version of the soap the 2001 version WAS starting to get good again. To be honest I know that it will NEVER return but I would love to keep on dreaming that it would. If it did come back, though, it could never return as Crossroads it would have to take the name of the village - Kings Oak. If anything, although it would never happen, I could see it as part of a soap double either with Home and Away on fivr (i.e. 1800 Home and Away, 1830 Kings Oak) or as a soap Double on BBC2 (move Neighbours to BBC2 so late afternoons on BBC2 would look like.... 1515 CBBC, 1735 Neighbours, 1800 Kings Oak, 1830 British Gameshows).

I once had a VHS full of Chart Show episodes, but they inevitably got taped over with films (as did many tapes, which is a shame because you can now get all these films on DVD, while series' like The Chart Show are more than likely forever lost in the sands of time).

Loved it when they had the old style computer graphics for text during the videos, and the intro sequences for the Specialist charts (Rock Chart, Dance Chart, etc) which each had their own sequence involving a ball speeding through the computer-generated landscape.

If the tape hadn't been overwritten I could play it back to refresh my memory, but still.

Always thought Ballykissangel should be repeated on the BBC again - from the start. IMO it would make good material for the 2.30pm-3.20pm weekday slot - make a change from murder mysteries/detective dramas etc.

According to Bex (Though repeats on the wonderful UKTV network are certainly not out of the question! - but have not as yet)
