Hancock's Half Hour Blimey, there were so many good programmes. Today's TV is appalling in comparison. The highlighted ones can still be enjoyed on Talking Pictures TV (82 Freeview). I have been watching re-runs of Public Eye with Alfred Burke. Fairly low budget productions but it is enjoyable to watch something that isn't "dark" and "edgy" and I like the dour Frank Marker character plodding around Windsor ( or Brighton in early episodes) exposing embezzlers and adulterers. Others that I enjoy/enjoyed -

The phrase "homo superior" in Bowie's Pretty Things came from this programme! I'm not sure this is correct. I used to read sci-fi books as a youngster, and I'm sure 'Homo Superior' appears in some of those novels. I can't remember which title or author, but maybe Asimov or Stapledon, or similar. I certainly remember hearing it sung by Bowie and associating the term with a fictional master race that I had read about.

These days it's more about the programmes I CAN'T remember, like last week's episode of Shetland when I'm sitting down to watch the next one! F Troop One that scared me s***less and gave me nightmares was The Tellygoons. It's the puppet thing; I was the same with Punch and Judy shows. I would add Green Acres to those three. That was a strangely surreal programme from Arnold the TV watching pig to Mr. Kimball who was completely bonkers.

Which reminds me of that mid-1950s sci-fi serial, The Quatermass Experiment. Aged 10, I literally ran out of the room to find human company. Others all over the country, it was said, dived behind the sofa.
