The BBC Kids show 'Subzero'
Channel 5's 'Havakazoo'
Cartoon Network's 'Cartoon Cartoons'
Original series of Brum
Tots TV
Early Chucklevision episodes
Allsorts (anyone remember that classic ITV show?)
The Herbs (Kids TV once again)
Rat Trap (hosted by Mary Nightingale catching car thieves breaking into vehicles)
X Cars (BBC1 series covering Greater Manchester Police)
Speed! (Old Sky One show, not all that different to Crimefighters)
Coppers (another old Sky One show which followed police teams around)
Series 1-3 of Street Crime UK (originally aired on Bravo, Sky One and Pick only seem to air Series 4)

Tots TV ended up on CBeebies from 2004 but doesn't appear to be current programming.

Sub Zero has realistically little repeat value as it was tooted as live and interactive (although one of the segments later turned out to be pre-recorded). Plus realistically it was trying to to be too clever for its own good.

The Herbs is available on DVD.

Well this is a turn up, STV are repeating the STV made "Missing" on STV Glasgow, mind you its yet to be screened in England.

Also what about the Ch5 series, likes Harry and Cosh? Atlantis High or even the tribe.

The Tribe's been out on DVD for a while. One of Channel 5's most successful series. It's follow-up was a bit miserable though.

I remembering seeing Harry and Cosh, although having dug a clip out on YouTube am instantly reminded just how depressing it was.

Really wish someone would pick up the rights for the ITV show "Yellowthread Street" either for DVD release or repeats. It was a Yorkshire TV production set in the Hong Kong Police in the very late 80s, prior to the handover of Hong Kong to China.

Shot on location, it had a pretty high-budget look for an ITV show at the time, and was also the first ITV drama made in stereo ISTR. Great opening music as well!

I've notice a high number of ex Central dramas have never been let out of the vaults either. ITV3 would have plenty of content even if 1% was used. It cant all be done to repeat fee etc? Each time Strike it lucky reappears on Challenge its for a set period of time and Micheal makes plenty of the fees, but I think he know he cant get to greedy or the station can't or wont buy.
