TV Shows Of Yester-Year

'Ah, they don't make programmes like that anymore' is a phrase I hear quite a lot at work, so I thought it might be quite fun to look back and take a trip down memory lane. What shows do you most fondly remember from your youth?

I'll kick things off with this little theme tune voted in 2003 by The Penguin Television Companion to be the best television theme ever?....

That "on white horses" took me back 35 odd years to summer holidays from school and watching TV in the morning, brought a tear to the eye with the realisation that i'm now an old man.

another from my time
