Dated TV shows

[Nibby]

Just see a clip of Minder on my Facebook feed. So dated and corny.

One man's "date and corny" is another man's "classic".

Yeah, some things are better as memories. Same category as certain ex-girlfriends.

Early Minder is still enjoyable, the plots are a bit daft sometimes but there is the odd bit of grittiness here and there, and the cars and locations are worth a watch on their own. Same goes for The Professionals which I started watching again last night...



Something I notice in these old shows is the same actors popping up in different roles - in The Professionals John Castle plays a CI5 op in series one, then turns up in series 2 playing a villain!

It wasn’t easy to get an equity card in the 70’s!

I always thought that lyric was .....because they've got nowhere to go.......
Ha. What a dummy I am

Are these shows any worse than the rubblish on TV nowadays...?

I sometimes catch a rerun of Bullseye. Def quite amusingly archaic, particularly when they go through the prizes. Silver Service and a TV with teletext anyone?!

The bullseye 1983 xmas commedy special. Probably aged worse than the prizes.

Best one I saw was a guy who won a full set of steel band drums that were wheeled on being played by 3 guys, it really was like the producers were taking the **** as much as possible

It wouldn't surprise me to find out they didn't know their drums were the star prize.
