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

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...
True @Cleoriff
In fact, Patrick wrote it and was shown in two parts (which added to the suspense but also contributed to the uproar).
The series was also cut short, so, maybe (and this is only my hunch) if other episodes had been made, then it might not have been so confusing to some.
Me? I too was addicted. My fav episode was the one in which he wins an art competition and uses the exhibit to try and escape from the Village.

Yes, I remember that episode @Mi-Amigo. Very clever I thought

I'm not sure another episode would have revealed all. It was MacGoohans cunning plan to leave us in limbo!
I saw him on a talk show in the 70's when he was asked about it and the only answers he gave were ...
As long as people feel something, that's the great thing, it's when they're walking around not thinking, not feeling, that's though, that's where all the dangerous stuff is, cause when you get a mob like that, you can turn them in to the sort of gang that Hitler had".(That statement caused outrage )
Also the biggest clue in his words "Freedom is a myth.We all continue to be prisoners"
I said at the time and still believe that No 1 was in fact MacGoohan himself...

My neighbour has just popped round and while chatting I mentioned this Community and told her about this thread.
She asked if I remember this ITV rival to Blue Peter?
I remember it. Does anyone else?

Like this @Mi-Amigo ... you could say it today & it would be relevant imhho ... luvved the whole mystery / magic of the show ... McGoohan was right to keep use all guessing = it's all part of the plot
