The Best Of 1980's TV

[mr 420]

There was also Spitting Image, the closest many of us got to paying attention to the world's news at that age. Much better than 2DTV that came years later.

My two favourite shows of late 70's/80's are Monkey & Diff'rent Strokes, probably still my favourite shows of all time! I have the Monkey DVD boxset from Fabulous Films & Season 1 & 2 of Diff'rent Strokes and have been hoping for years they would release the other seasons.

Also, does anybody else recall a one-off BBC drama from roughly '87 or '88 called Shoot For The Sun starring Jimmy Nail and Brian Cox? The former played a slicked-back drug dealer in it and he's a long way from Oz!

I even enjoy old '80s game shows such as Julian Clary's Sticky Moments, Bullseye and 3-2-1! Yep, you heard that right!
