I'm glad a few other people can verify the existence of Automan. Whenever I mention it during those nostalgia conversations, all I normally get are blank looks.

Between that and Manimal, all my playtimes were fully booked up pretending to be them. Used to be able to do a passable impression of his hand as the transformation took place, with the knuckles rippling and that.

I remember Automan as well, he had a Countach that could turn 90° bends, if I remember correctly.

I thought Automan rode a motorcycle?? "I have to go, all around the city, thousands of toasters are being used" took talent to write that!

PS 80's can't go without mentioning Monkey!!! whenever I see clips of this now it looks like a steaming pile of poo, no really, it was utter rubbish. 6pm bbc2 tuesday nights!!!!

Can't really remember the show if I'm honest, but what an awesome theme tune. This is the full length version.

Anyone remember 240 Robert? I used to cycle round to my mate's house on a Saturday morning to watch it but now it seems we are the only two who can remember it.

How about "The Fall Guy" ...

Loved it!!

..But I'm not going back to it, just incase it wasnt as good as I remember (and to be honest all I remember is an ace truck, bikini babes and a guy that used to jump out of things and punch people)

Ps - I bet that truck tripped over!

[odyssey2200]

I watched The Fall Guy this afternoon

There was a series with Edward Woodward - Think it was called 1984? or maybe 1980?

Might have been late 70s, but it was pretty good.

M

If we are talking Edward Woodward and 80's TV shows we need to mention 'The Equaliser'

fking awesome show.

It's usually on when I'm in the gym
I also like to watch the Saint, my Gran loved it, along with the Littlest Hobo...I have the tune on my ipod
Sledgehammer, yes that was ace, as was Police Squad...Anyone remember Hunter?
The best thing about the 80s were the British serials made, all classics...Auf Wiedersehen, Black Widows, Smiley s People etc.
I like all the American fluff mentioned above, Magnum in particular...along with Simon and Simon, fond memories of that, and BJ and the Bear.

I remember Manimal. Simon Corkindale turned it into a turkey. Airwolf was good. The Tripods would have been a good sci-fi series but it lacked Tripods. The best cartoon series were The Dreamstone. Excellent artwork and animation. As for the bad guy Zordrak's voice - really mean & scary. Best comedy was teh Young Ones and the frst series of Red Dwarf.

Dreamstone! Thanks for that, I remember the buzz at the time it appeared, it was new compared to other cartoons. Tripods, that could have been ace. Best comedy were the Blackadders!
I remember a kids show about children in an under ground Labyrinth trying to find their way out, I found the show in the other long lost programme thread we had (it wasn't Knightmare)...spellcasting...D-I-S-M-I-S-S
