Other great UK programmes....

[AWP Corsa Tim]

Never really liked 'Bottom', but you've made me wonder if I should invest in the box-set of 'the Comic Strip Presents...'; some of those were brilliant! - 'Strike' springs to mind...

Mr Jolly Lives Next Door is still my fave

I saw that one the other week, was on the normal GOLD channel and i caught it just as the van speeds up to the old GIT on the zebra crossing (Van was hitting some speed too, timed it right with the brakes) who they just about run over, WHICH WAY TO THE BBC YOU OLD GIT??? THAT WAY GUV AND TURN LEFT! ....

Made me laugh.. after seeing it i decided to record it on the +1 channel, then watched it fully.. NICHOLAS PARSONS!!!

Go to 24:42.. AND HAVE A NICE DAY!

Been getting into Drifters thats not bad for a laugh.

Steptoe & Son
Doctor Who (1963 - 85)
The Sweeney
Minder
Bulls-Eye (Another great Central TV production)
Family Guy (Series 1 to 3)

Apart from the failed revival attempts of Minder and The Sweeney, these are the only other shows that I consider untouchable along with AWP. The runner-ups are Early Doors, Red Dwarf (Series 1 to 6), Ever Decreasing Circles, Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? and anything to feature both Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson.

Bulls-Eye (Another great Central TV production)

I saw an episode on Challenge recently, and during the 1st couple of series, instead of a professional Dartist throwing for charity they had various 'celebs' and who should be on the one I saw? Our very own Pat Roach!

Unfortunately, haven't been able to find it on YouTube or anything, otherwise we could have added it to the site

[Magowan]

Yeah, I remember that one. It was before they were about to shoot the 2nd series of AufPet, wasn't it?

I saw one where Grotbags from Rod Hull and Emu was throwing the arrows. I can't remember her real name, Carol something I think it is.

[HerrPfister]

Yeah, I remember that one. It was before they were about to shoot the 2nd series of AufPet, wasn't it?

IMDB gives the date (I assume transmission rather than recording) as 19.11.84 so, yes, just before the filming of series 2.

Should have had Magowan on it - never gets beat, him!

[Magowan]

Maybe he couldn't get on there because he broke a chair over the producer's head. Probably for the best; he would've nicked the dartboard.

[BarryTaylor]

I think by the time Boon was on the rules had been changed on Bullseye so that only pro Dart Players could do the charity round.

However they did have 2 or 3 excellent Christmas specials featuring Celebs and as Boon moved to Nottingham along with Bullseye having Elphick would have been a brilliant choice.

[Magowan]

Yeah, I saw one of those Xmas specials with Frank Bruno in.

"What's the plane called, Frank?"
"Harry...Harriet?"
"Correct!"

[HerrPfister]

Maybe he couldn't get on there because he broke a chair over the producer's head. Probably for the best; he would've nicked the dartboard.

Iiiiiiiiin 1 : Nowt. Magowan's pissed off with the prizes.
