[Stu M]

Tripods was ace!

 

Batfink - the arch villain Hugo Agogo got put in prison, like, every day for trying to take over the world

 

Automan - Simon McCorkindale from Casualty as some kind of crime-fighting electrical chappie surrounded by blue light.

 

The Boy From Space - creepy Look & Read yarn about blue aliens landing in a quarry

[Martin]

Batfink was great. Forgotten all about that.

 

Saint & Greavsie - top footy show. Was that 80s or early 90s. Anyway much better than on the chuffin ball.

'Why don't you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?'

 

Or shortened to 'Why Don't You...?'

 

Was that the longest TV programme name ever?

Crackerjack

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Wasn't a big fan of "The Incredible Hulk"

 

but it had a memorable catchphrase.

 

"You won't like me when I am angry"

 

Well I remembered it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Tales of the unexpected.

 

Can't remember any of the stories, but can remember the 3 dancing girls (silhouetes) on the credits at the start and the theme tune.

 

The girls dancing suggested (well to me) a bit like Girl on Girl action and at 13 /14 I tuned in, though it was nothing like that. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/alk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

That was the twist, suggestion of something for young lads, but no nothing. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That's because they weren't in the least bit unexpected. There was no twist, they were too predictable. Good theme tune, mind you.
