Can't make up mind about this, a comedy fantasy from the horrible histories team . Some is very clever, other bits juvenile.

Any fans of Matt Berry's near the knuckle comedy. Steven Toast and Clem Fandango excellent.

Maybe it was because tv viewing habits were different in the good old days, but as teenager I didn't mind the occasional costume drama, and one of my favorites was Raffles with Anthony Valentine and Christopher Strauli. Excellent series well acted and the usual galaxy of guest stars. I read...

Before Rising Damp Eric Chappell was behind this office comedy show. Bernard Hepton and Ken Jones star also with Ellis Jones who might be remembered for Pardon My Genie, the Bob Block kids comedy. Available on YouTube.

The first foray into tv for the legendary film company. Thirteen episodes, mostly terrific, a few duds but overall a good series. My favorites; Silent Scream with Peter Cushing as a concentration camp guard still experimenting 35 years on, Rude Awakening about a guy who murders his wife on...

This show is a poser. Is it crazily brilliant or just crazily juvenile? .

Which of the two versions do you prefer? Stupid question right? There's only one real McCoy , that's the one which was called Hawaii Five (number)0, not Hawaii Five (letter)O. Five 0 = fiftieth state. Simple really. Perhaps I'm being harsh, maybe the new series logo is a fat zero!

Okay, someone had to mention this guy. What do we think of his work? David Hedison said Allen was a great ideas man but should never be let loose near a camera! Land of the Giants is my favourite, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is OK for two series, Lost in Space was watchable at first and then...

Alfred Burke stars in this wonderful detective series. Frank Marker is a ex con down on his luck investigator dealing mainly with unsavoury cases. 52 episodes thankfully still survive, I've seen half of the box set and really impressive , with a host of top stars appearing. Burke is amazing in...

" Okay people we are having this staff meeting, only the tenth today, it's been a bit busy in the leisure centre. Are you sure Tim that you're only allowing people 15 minutes on the squash courts?" " Absolutely Mr Brittas" " We're here to remind people on this forum of our wonderful show, hang...

This was a very interesting younger viewers Sci fi series. Two young kids can sense a time barrier and relive past events at a second world war naval base overrun with Nazis. In a well put together six episode opener, while on vacation with parents Liz and Simon stumble into a deserted naval...

What a tremendous series this was. Edward Woodward as the world weary Callan operating in the dark world of espionage, great supporting cast, Anthony Valentine, Patrick Mower, William Squire, Russell Hunter and great guest cast. Both the monochrome and colour DVD box sets are brilliant.

Used to love this as a kid , got the DVDs, such a pity only the third series survives, but it's a good watch. Michael McKenzie was great as the mysterious Tarot, a psychic, a magician and a crime fighter. Assisted by Chas and Mikki played by Roy Holder and Petra Markham in the third series, and...

First time since I was twelve I've been going through this series after purchasing the DVD's. Allowances must be made for its age, the fact that it's a kids show and the low budget and child actors in it.., but can't make up my mind if this is brilliant inventive but poorly realized, or just...

Yee ha cowboys! It's Jim West and Artemis Gordon the coolest special agents in the Wild West. Great show. Terrible remake with Will Smith. .

So glad I came upon this show last year. Never seen it before, but it turned out to be real joy. Never knew Timothy West did comedy so well. This is really funny and at times outrageous. A sort of comedic When The Boat Comes In.

Remember this from the seventies? Alan Plater's North of England comedy starring Bill Maynard. ITV's answer to Frank Spencer. Three series were made, the first two with Plater hands on, the third suffered a little ,more varied writers, but still watchable. A fourth series just titled Selwyn saw...

Never saw this 80's series originally but recently gave it a go, mainly because its got Peter Davison ( Dr Who 5) in it as well as starring roles for Graham Crowden ( Soldeed) and David Troughton( King Peladon). It's bizarrely dotty, surreal comedy/drama set in a weird University with rebellious...

1970's spy drama in the Callan mould. This series deals with a fictional mi6 , known as SIS. Roy Marsden stars as Neil Burnside, Director of Operations, and follows his scheming lying cold hearted ways he thrusts his agents into the theatre of espionage. Always challenging to watch, deeply...

This is a fascinating series set in a dystopian Britain. Very hard hitting as secret police and invasive big brother style take control of Britain. Woodward stars as a journalist , a thorn in the side of a very nasty regime. It's unsettling to see Britain portrayed in this show . Many ideas from...
