I like your choices Laurence. Once I have got some complete episode guides to the programmes you've mentioned, I will gladly write you out some petitions to start signing.

In the meantime were/are you a fan of the following:

Heartbeat
The Brothers
The original Maigret series starring the late great character actor Rupert Davies (hence my username on this website).

ACE OF WANDS! Is it true that the proposed release for this great series has been held up due to a Beatles song? I know in one episode of 'The Meddlers,' Michael Standing's character, Spoons, sings a couple of lines from 'Sgt Pepper ...'; but this only lasts a few seconds and could be easily edited out. To get it released, I don't think too many people would mind ...

Aside from that: decent R2 releases for 'The Avengers' (which I know are on their way!) 'Sapphire and Steel,' and 'Moondial,' as well as what remains of 'Freewheelers,' the various HTV childrens dramas from the '70s/'80s, 'Talent/Nearly a Happy Ending/Happy Since I Met you/Wood and Walters,' everything existing by Dennis Potter, Marmalade Atkins, T.Bag ... and many, many more!

[nicholas cook]

Tele goons and a box set of all spike milligans work would be top on my list as well as doomwatch and the rest of tripods

[williamM]

All the surviving 60s colour music programs

[GJBRUM]

EVERYTHING failing that why not get rid of/ combine BBC3 & 4 into the BBC archive Channel broadcasting 24/7 and show us EVERYTHING, including MUSIC/ KIDS (60's & 70's)/Sports/ Drama (PLAY FOR TODAYS) UKTV Drama has turned into the situ comedy channel.

Combine ITV 3 & 4 into the ITV Archive Channel and show us EVERYTHING

[Simon Exton]

I'd love to see:

Undermind
The Man in Room 17/The Fellows
Pathfinders in Space/to Mars/to Venus
Sandbaggers series 3
Doomwatch
Out of the Unknown
Lame Ducks
Mog

and, above all: The Corridor People

[williamM]

what about all the classic plays the bbc have, they were some of the few things saved on purpose so we might as well all see them.

[H Hartley]
