Before the video embedding begins, let me tell you about my nostalgia viewing habits outlined by TV genres. They're not neccesarily my favourites ever, because let's say one of my favourite comedies is "Only Fools and Horses", because it's repeated non-stop on GOLD all the time, there isn't much scope to watch it on Youtube! And more so, if the show is not on DVD. On that note, the one thing i do find annoying is you have footage on youtube, that someone has recorded, and it may no longer be on the official archives. Youtube tries (rather loosely, because it knows that's why it gets most of it's tremondous traffic) to protect copyright, but the downside to that is it doesn't care what it is, when reported, and it doesn't believe in conservation.
Anyway, Let's go to my favourites starting with:
COMEDY: Hale and Pace, Smith and Jones, Russ Abbott, Billy Connolly, Alf Garnett, Father Ted, Mr. Bean & Whose Line is it Anyway, Rab C Nesbitt, & Stewart Lee.
GAMESHOWS: The Generation Game, Bullseye, Strike it Lucky, Gamesmaster, Gladiators and The Crystal Maze.
SOAPS: Eastenders is the main one, followed by Brookside, Coronation Street and Neighbours (When you had your Madge, Harold, Helen & big Jim Robinson). Not really into any of the others.
CHILDRENS: Grange Hill, Byker Grove, Tucker's Luck, Bananaman, Maid Marian and her Merry Men, The Real Ghostbusters, Chucklevision and The Girl From Tomorrow
MUSIC: Hitman and Her, Top of the Pops and The Tube.
LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT: Noel's House Party, Royal Variety Performance & Comic Relief
DOCUMENTARY: Any nostalgic show, Anything presented by Johnathan Meades, and old docs on the way we used to life in the 50s-90s.
SATURDAY MORNING: Going Live! of course!
SCHOOLS TV: Oh, do i have to? Ahem, Look and Read, Scientific Eye, Geographical Eye, Ghostwriter, Landmarks, Zig Zag, Science Zone, Go 4/5 & Science in Action.
SPORT: American wrestling (does that count as sport though?), Darts, Football, Fantasy Football, World Cup and Olympics titles.
DRAMA: Doctor Who.
ADVERTS: I Like watching the old 80s adverts. Favourites? Well, that car ad with the Princess Diana look-a-like advert, the Tango man ads and Um Bongo ad!
Public Information Film: Well a long-time favourite is the fire safety ant cartoon narrated by Richard Briers, and this late-80s scary "Don't be a Dummy!" Fireworks ad, bloody brilliant.
