Favourite 60s/70s Cult Tv
Man From Uncle.
I would have been tempted to say The Prisoner for obvious reasons, but I would have been lying.
The Man From Uncle though - that was real. For me anyway.
I cant anwser as im not that old but the proffessionals is good.
Ok I left out a few --- Red Dwarf, A For Andromeda, Quatermas, Whirlybirds, Fall & Rise Reggie Perrrin, X Files, Twin Peaks, Farscape,
"The High Life !" , Edge of Darkness .........................................................

how old are you carnut?! im only 25 and i remember the man from uncle... solo and kuryakin!
Im only 14 and iv got 'The Prisoner' on DVD.
I got bought it cos i was interested in caterhams
OOOO Servilan, she's still got it.
I've never seen most of the shows listed, but did get hooked on The Prisoner. It's an almost unheard of series in the US (at least nobody I
know has ever heard of it). I actually rented a few episodes because of some interviews with members of Iron Maiden, who mentioned it as an influence
in a few of their songs. Now most of the episodes are part of my DVD collection.
Who are you?
The new #2.
Who is #1?
You are #6.
I am not a number, I am a free man!

There was 'UFO'. There were quite a few babes with tight suits in that.
Monty python
Old grey whistle
fawlty towers
Steptoe and son still makes me laugh,i feel they all had a cult following there were plenty of T-shirts printed for the whistle test anyway.

Not exactly cult stuff though were they? Hardcastle and McCormack, come on. He was in Dead Man Weds with Johnny Vegas and Dave Spikey not long back.
The BBC are running a survey to find the best decade in television at the moment. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/tvontrial/
Get on there and vote. edit:- Sorry that was the Dempsey and Makepeace bloke, shows how memorable they were though.

My necklase isnt gold so un-chav like..

It was Mrs Peel! 
Steed always refered to her as "Mrs Peel" in the Avengers.
Sad or what?
It is a very close call between Dianna Rigg and Alexandra Bastedo to a pre-pubescant youth! (Well I was at the time!)

TISWAS!!!!
None of the above,well apart from Dr Who - but only if it had Daleks in.
My favourite was "Survivors" c1975/77
I don't ever remember the series being repeated which is odd for a BBC production.
Anyone seen "Saphire and Steel" recently? It used to scare me when I was a litl'un but I saw it the other day and it has to be the
worst acting I have ever seen, and as for the special effects....shockingly bad.
The Avengers is still ace though, even Blakes Seven's good in a cheesey sort of way.

I remember her from the Beiderbecke Affair. She never seems to age, or is she just keeping up with me.

Yes Barbara Flynn but in "A Very Peculiar Practice" where she was the very sexy Dr Rose Marie. Recently she was in "Sea of Souls" as an army major -- somwwhat more mature from when she was the milk woman/girl in "Open All Hours"

I feel a little on the young side to be posting in this thread as I don't know have of who/what you're talking about.
It's red dwarf for me.
everybody's dead dave, dave everybody's dead. they're all dead dave, everybody.
They show Red Dwarf on PBS here. My son and I really like it, as well as "People Like US", "Coupling"(with Sara Alexander) and
of course "The Prisoner" and "Hitchhikers guide"....
