    Drop the dead donkey
    The Likely Lads

    One and three are on Gold quite regularly Shirty, Drop the Dead Donkey might be a bit 'of it's time' being topical, but I wouldn't mind seeing some of them again with a short explanation of what was in the news that week before the start...

    Drop the Dead Donkey was repeated just a couple of years ago on Dave I think, and it had a brief introduction describing the original air date and the hot news topics of the week in question.

    I'd like to see Big Breadwinner Hog again. It was shown once and never repeated and the last few episodes were dropped by some ITV regions. (Black & white from the late 60s I think). Caused a real stink at the time for its extreme violence. I expect now we'd just think it was normal everyday pre-watershed stuff. The odd thing was that the psychotic, ultra-violent lead was played by Peter Egan, better known for his friendly bloke next door role in Ever Decreasing Circles!

    Boys from the Blackstuff : original play that the series was based on.
    The Prisoner: Yes I know you can buy it on dvd....
    Breadwinner Hog, hard to remember it, but thought it was very good.
    Anything on Tony Hancock.
    Gangsters: Maurice Colbourne BBC series.
    Ready Steady Go
    But of course as no surprise to anyone: Dusty Springfield show with Jimi Hendrix, first playing of Voodoo Chile Slight return, and dedicates 'Stone free' to Brian Jones, and duets with Dusty Springfield 'Mockingbird' there is only an old scratchy fan video apparently.....

    I got the Goodies too, I did enjoy it, but I can see why the kids didn't.

    Absolutely has aged badly too, whereas Big Train still works.

    I think ready steady go was repeated in the 90s, because my mum video'd it and got all is kids hooked on 60s music. Proper education that!

    (btw which Hendrix show was it when he interrupted hey joe with a badass version of sunshine of your love? I need to see that again)

    The original play was called simply The Blackstuff. Great performance from Alan Lake as a Gypsy conman.
    The series was The Boys from the Blackstuff.

    I can't remember for the life of me what it was called but years ago there was a late night programme about a gang of workmen and their ongoing battles with the Clerk of Works and when they were in trouble they would say "one call on Figaro we all call on Figaro."

    Perhaps it was called Figaro but it was a nice relaxing piece of late night whimsy anyway.

    Now that was good - "another day another dollar" (or have I got the wrong one ?) Can't remember a single episode but know that I loved it.

    What we need more of though is some repeats of QI, The Sweeney, Minder and Fools & Horses.

    Thanks for the link. Found a version of what sounding like my old nan singing it!
    Whoever sang it on The Monicled Mutineer made it sound a bit more sort of Squeezesque. :-)

    Yes that was a brilliant show. Duel was my hero - was very upset when I found he had committed suicide.
