What TV programmes do you miss, or too young to see at the time, and would love to see reshown?

I know that some old programmes are repeated on channels such as Dave, Yesterday, Drama, Gold -

feel free to mention any that you miss and are pleased on any of these, or other channels, as I for one might have missed them.

 

Here are a few of mine, I`d love to see reshown:

 

The Liver Birds - with the lovely Polly James and Nerys Hughes

The Prisoner

Dave Allen Show

Thanks @Cleoriff that's the show I was thinking of. After I asked @Marjo the question, I suddenly remembered it.

 

I loved it, it used to make me laugh.

I grew up with this show @Mi-Amigo, we used to watch as a family: mum, dad and me. Loved it. It was very funny.

That's interesting @Mi-Amigo

I wonder how many people knew about John Drake resigning.

Hi @TallTrees

It was in a fanzene for The Prisoner I bought in Portmerion where it was filmed.

Patrick Mcg never admitted or denied it, but there again he was always cagey when asked what The Prisoner was about.

My personal feelings are that it was, with subtle hints in The Prisoner.

The biggest question on everyones lips when it finished was 'Who was No 1?'

 

Also the final episode was such a conundrum causing outrage among viewers at the ending, that Patrick McGoohan had to leave the country for a while as he was being threatened...tongue_winking
