As requested: -

1. Top Of The Pops – watched this religiously every Thursday night, straight after "Tomorrows World". In hope of seeing my favourite bands perform, and also to see what the audience were wearing etc, and who the presenter was that week too. Also there was always a christmas day special.

2. Dallas – was on every Saturday night and just could not miss a single episode, it was the talk of the classroom on a monday morning

3. Moonlighting – loved to watch this every week, just to see what would happen with maddie (Cybil Shepherd) and David (Bruce Willis), i seem to remember they had a bit of a love/hate relationship.

4. Brookside – this was the one soap that i was addicted to, watched it from when it was first aired right up until the show was cancelled in 2003.

5. Professionals – who could resist watching Bodie and Doyle

6. Magnum – Tom Sellick what more can i say

7. The A Team – Hannibal, Face, Murdock and Mr T, couldnt miss this on a saturday either.

8. Catchphrase – think this used to be on, on a Sunday night, used to love trying to guess what the catchprase would be.

9. The Kenny Everett Show – cos it was "all done in the Best Possible Taste"

10. The Tube – with Jools Hollands and Paula Yates, every Friday at 6pm and aslo there was the midnight Tube where it was on for about 6 hours. You got to see bands like U2 in concert, it was just great.

 

 

Think i just may have to do a top 10 of Game shows on here, i can think of quite a few.

I have another short List of 80s TV shows, which i watched without fail every week, how i forgot these ones i dont know.

1. Tenko – about the captive women in a Japanese prison camp.

2. Hart to Hart – Staphanie Powers and Robert Wagner, and who could forget Max and Freeway too.

3. Auf Wiedersehen Pet – about 7 men working on a building site in Germany, Tim Healey, Jimmy Nail, Kevin Wakely, Timothy Spall, Gary Holton, Pat Roach, and Christopher Fairbank.

4. Prisoner Cell Block H – About everyday life in a womens prison in Australia, there was loads of really good plots, and someone was trying to escape

5. Minder – The dodgy Arthur Daley ( George Cole) and Terry McCann ( Dennis Waterman) could always be found down the Winchester club .

Oooh, yes, wouldnt it be good if the bbc did a couple of re-runs of it, just so as we could look back, and then follow it up with a Top of the Pops too.
