Old TV Series.....
Jump to: Newest in thread
So, some of us grew up in the 70's and 80's, and we will probably remember some old shows that don't get any airplay any more.
Let's hear your favorites.
Mine is "it ain't half hot", Windsor Davies was a legendary Sergeant Major. |

Have you noticed though, that 'It ain't half hot mum' is one of those programs that never gets shown anymore?
Funny, isn't it, that we think that society is more liberal these days and yet there were things broadcast in the 60's and 70's that are no longer deemed acceptable.
I'm surprised that some of the 'Carry on..' films still get shown.

‘It Ain’t Half Hot Mum’ is being shown on ‘That’s TV’ channel (Virgin 150)
Every episode from series 1, episode 1 right up to the final episode when they return to Blighty and get demobbed.
It’s great, currently on series 4, episode 7, but the earlier ones were edgier and funnier. |

I have the full box set …. Love it - sooooo funny, if taken in context!
Windsor Davies was the epitome of a Sgt Maj!
As alluded to, they are showing it on Great TV … as they do Benny Hill!! Lol, and other 70s / 80s shows.

More serious stuff the sweeney, tohe professionals and top of the pops when it was good. |

It was It ain't half hot Mum and the OPs memory would have been as a very young child. I saw an episode of it not that long ago. I've just turned 53 (there is digit mistake in my profile date) and I can just about remember it. Dated it has. I can still enjoy them, but people talk of this stuff as if they are all all-time classic television. They were never-ever even intended to be such!
Some have aged ok (this surprisingly wasn't too bad) others haven't even slightly.
But they are half a century old some of them!!

Rising Damp with the late greats Leonard Rossiter and Richie Beckinsale. Admittedly I watched the reruns in the 90s as I wasn't even born when it originally ran. Absolutely superb and one the greatest sitcoms ever. |

"Not going back as far as the 70s/80's, but if any channel wants to rerun Tour of Duty, Married with children and King of the Hill- i'll be eternally grateful and probably watch little else  "
Married with Children and Sledgehammer back in the day when TV first went through the night. |

The main thing that was a part of "It ain't half hot" that's now deemed to be unacceptable is the racism...
The Carry On films base their humour on sex, which is totally fine.
