Remember the 80's

[uksbc]

the obvious choice for tv in the eighties will always be the A Team!

does anyone remember Streethawk? - was basically it tried to be Knightrider on a motor bike

now i am a fan of motorbikes but you just can not beat a Trans Am that talks and the HUGE hair of David Hasslehof!! :shock:

Swap Shop was my Saturday Show, couldn't stand all that custard pie and noise on TISWAS, used to do my head in.

Almost as bad as Cheggars Play Pop!

What about that programme called Kaleidoscope with a box that opened up whilst it was going round on a turntable, with bright lights shining on it and a strange Hamond organ musical intro. (Bit surreal if I remember)

What about Fingermouse?

Rhubarb and Custard?

The Wombles?

The Muppet Show?

Can anyone hum the gallery music fom Take Hart?

(Could be here all night)
:?

Tales of the Unexpected! Great music.... great dancing (rather rude I thought).

Or was that the 70's?

 

[Jayne]

Wombles of Wimbledon wombling free...forgot the rest.

I had a Womble, my Mam worked For Dennis Fisher toy factory, we had everything before everyone else

Tales of the Unexpected was good, I used to like that

I also have a personal favourite, but I don't know if anyone else will remember it:

It was a programme on Channel 4 circa 1986 called 'Prospects'

I used to love that programme and always watched out for the repeats but they never put them out again.

Myabe that's becuse there was only me watching it :?

[Jayne]

Never watched the prospect one..but I was a big fan of Tales of the unexpected. My favourite one was when a man turned into a bee after eating too much honey.

[Hayles]

My favourite one was when there was a plague of rats taking over the countryside - they ate humans I think. The last shot was a man and woman going upstairs with tea strainers over their heads. I think. :?

 

[freecybermag]

Prospects....OMG...forgot about that one. It stared Craig Charles and the other guy out of 2 points 4 children. I used to sleep down my mates grandfathers house every week and we used to watch that before going to bed. Oh I remember Prospects

 

[WelshPixels]

Was "Prospects" the one about the two guys on a council estate trying to come up with schemes to make money?

I think the dad from 2.4 Children was in it but I cant remember who the other guy was.

 

[freecybermag]

Yeah that's the program

 

[multilingual]

Yes, that's the one!!!

Prospects was Gary Olsen (2.4 kids) playing Jimmy Pince (Pincey), and the other one was the actor out of Gimme Gimme Gimme (the posh one who lived next door with his silly girlfriend). He played Billy Pearce.

There was that Gangster called 'Stretch' and they got into all sorts of capers, very funny. Plus the music was fantastic: When the programme ended there was a sunset over the Docks and the music was

"is it just another day, or will prospects find a way, on the crumbling City streets, were working for tomorrow"

The best episode was when they tunnelled into the Natwest Bank vault and got a top 'cracker' to get them into the massive safe, only to find that they had tunnelled into the wrong building and the safe was in fact a butchers fridge! The get away driver was all revved up for a fast exit when he saw Stretch, Pincey and Billy running towards the van carrying three frozen pigs!

ahhh, I am getting all nostalgic now

Where is my Duran Duran album?

Did anyone watch Tuckers luck? If you did, am I right in thinking that his girlfriend in that was the woman who recently was in Eastenders and couldn't hack the jungle? It's driving me insane wondering if it is her

Nic :wink:

 

[SillyJokes]

Nescafe Gold Blend advert, "Have you got any.....coffee?"


Aids - Don't Die of Ignorance

and the song by the cast of Grange Hill about not taking drugs, "Just say no, NO"

 

[Admiral Collections]

Oh no Silly Jokes I cant get that song out of my head now.

NO, just say No la la la

That's so funny. If I played that to my little boy now he would be like 'what the hell is that'

Nic :wink:

 

[Jayne]

If anyone's on AOL broadband Gold or above, they have a great 80's radio station

[Asteeleleith]

What a true blast from the past it has been reading through some of these threads.

my most memorable TV series

the A-team
The Full Guy
Chips
Knight Rider
Air Wolf
Juliet Bravo (loved it on Friday)


Music
Don't you forget about me, Simple Minds, the Glitering Prize
REMs losing y religeon
soft cell.

And who can forget the greatest band of modern times Queen.

To me the 80s was the magical era. I don't know what happened in the nineties and now. But the 80s def had that magic about it.

You should have a go at GTA Vice City it was far better driving around Miami with the radio on in those days.
