Ah! the Val Doonican Show, It's a Knockout, Seaside Special, the Moira Anderson Show, Belle and Sebastian, White Horses, The Virginian.
Probably all too far in the past for OP to have seen!
Also used to watch the Black and White Minstrel Show, Gold help us. It is hard to believe now. The nadir was reached when white men in blackface performed songs dressed in tacky Chinese costumes.

What, no mention of Dallas and Dynasty?
And only of of Star Trek?
Surely Star Trek The Next Generation deserves a mention as well as Deep Space 9 and Voyager...
Since we're on the Sci fi scene let's not forget Ewoks cartoon and Droids |

Tonight
programme on BBC with the main presenter Cliff Mitchelmore, Fyfe Robertson from Scotland, and many others who were famous household names in the early 1960s.
An exceptionally popular programme, when there were only two channels in UK, and also in monochrome until 1968. |

Going for a song
With the dour and inscrutable, Arthur Negus.
It was the predecessor of the Antiques Roadshow.
The main presenter, whose name I cannot recall, was a detested academic who had a horrific reputation for rubbing people up the wrong way.
The opening titles sequence included a fake singing bird in a cage, which were very popular, as a form of amusement, in the Victorian era. |

Benny Hill
It would be difficult to overestimate the massive popularity of Hill in the 1960s and 70s.
Now derided for his crass political incorrectness, his shows made a fortune for Thames Television.
Within a few years of his contract being terminated Benny was dead.
The ending title sequence, I think, is called Yakety Sax, and for those of a certain vintage is instantly recognisable.

The Morecambe and Wise Christmas Specials were amazing and attracted audiences of nearly twenty millions.
The 1971 show with Andre Previn, the conductor, was rightly regarded by Eric as the absolute zenith of their television careers.
To remind himself of how awful they had previously been Eric kept a press cutting in his wallet: TV the box they buried M&W in, a critic's view of their first TV venture. |

"Mork and Mindy"
I think Mork and Mindy was Robin Williams's first TV appearance.
Is this correct?
Very distressing how his life ended; but behind their public facade many comedians struggle with depression, low self esteem and a deep need to be lauded by an audience.

"Speaking of light hearted
jim'll fix it.
Watched the Netflix docu, what a sick fucker he was."
There is another new documentary about Jimmy Savile that is a voiceover of a videod walk through a forest: available on Google Video. Very good.
JS fooled, hoodwinked, abused, manipulated and cajoled a lot of people at the uppermost echelons of British society.
Very shrewd; very cunning; very damaged by his cold childhood; very sick. |

I'd say a lot of men watched it just for Miss Diane. Probably had no interest at all in the motel business.. |
