Guess the 70s/80s UK TV show

[Loverboy19691]

The 1970's and 1980's tv shows are the best, by the end 1980's tv started its decline in quality and appeal, as with with todays music, gone are ther good old days, now tv and songs have more swearing and drug related themes than ever!

[Guvna07]

[BigSteve02]

no it is not just you Tonydalonely, i think 1970's tv shows definitely had more catchy and better theme music than today, there are 5 people (myself includeed) who agree with you (just look at the green thumbs up symbol under your username.) so you are not alone.

[MrLexielover]

[YaZ0311]

Hey Gumbo1978,

Thanks a million for the flashback. This may sound a bit ponse,, but it kinda brought tears to my eyes listening to all them oldies. Thanks again !!!!!

[gumbo1973]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the nice comment! :)

[alleycat62021]

Well it took me 4 months to respond but I did post a reply to this video, it just hasn't shown up as a reply yet. It's called "4Gumbo" so think you should be able to find it! LOL

[anna2825]

26/30.......no point in lying about my age now!!!

[KONAretro]

[tractorboy406]

Love these kind of quizzes, and this is a quality one, well done and thanks for all the effort in making it, By the way i got 26. A couple of lucky guesses. I didn't know Hithchikers guide, Adrain Mole, Magpie and Picture box. Thanks

[berlinmitte10117]

20/30 - a poor showing , but great fun nontheless

[snaplesugar]

That's cool!

The one I just had to say was 5 Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I heard that particular one and just lunged onto my keyboard lol.

[ryolite38]

Do I get a bonus point for guessing the LWT theme at the very start?

[gumbo1973]

You get a cookie for spotting that ;)

[alleycat62021]

Geeze, Gumbo! You did really good with mine and I totally suck at yours! :-( I think we need to start importing more shows from across the pond!

[gumbo1973]

Its purely nostalgia stuff for us peeps over here, Cat ;)

I doubt any of these old shows would translate over to your edge of the pond. Theyre mostly shows that peeps look back at with rose-tinted spectacles.

[Snuffomatica]

Someone couldn't get 18...

Does any one remember a series in the 80's called 'King and Castle' with Nigel Planer. I cant find it any where and no one remembers it??

[smartcooky99]

Yep. I remember King and Castle. Derek Martin was the other actor. It was a cop show (or an ex-cop show if you like) written by the same guy that wrote Juliet Bravo, The Sweeney and The Chinese Detective.

[wolfq]

I cant find any King and castle clips on anywhere?

and I'd forgotten about the chinese detective
