    Remember programmes like Prisoner cell block H
    Twin Peaks (Nobody figured it out)
    Eldorado (AXED shortly after pilot. It was too crap and figures were down)
    take the highroad (Lovely music and the landrover looked nice)
    Sons and daughters ( Australian soap)
    Home and Away (Channel five decided to buy the old catalogue to boost numbers. guess Five is worse than fox)
    Button moon. (Used to love watching mr spoony)
    Teletubbies (bizzarely addictive)

    I wonder what you remember, what you liked, disliked and why?

    I also remember Itv nights and Itv 3 nights at the weekends. I remember seeing the BIG E. then one evening in 1994, I saw a hedghog walking across a screen before the movie called The fog started at 12:30am

    In the early 90's I enjoyed watching Gladiator, the Crystal maze and Live and kicking. In the mornings it had to be Big breakfast with Zig and zag. Weekends were filled with noels house party. Mr Blobby. Gosh, crazy tv, but what do you think?

    I actually really miss TFI Friday. I was never a Chris Evans fan, I thought he was a bit of a bighead twit, but there's no doubt that show was iconic, it was real event TV, must-watch Friday evening viewing. There's so little event TV, so little genuinely dangerous live broadcasting around now. I miss it.

    TFI was ace, do you remember naked video, absolutely and the Mary Whitehouse experience? I liked those because they were so obscure.

    Come on, button moon was ace.

    Don't remember the mary washington experience. But Button moon I do remember and really enjoyed. It was about a moon which was a button. Mr spoony was my idol for seven weeks and then along came Dogtanian.

    I loved Top of the pops in the 90's. Each monday night or something, used to be a good guide to the top forty charts.Sadly top of the pops has been axed due to the new millenium of multi channel bliss.
