I also use to be allowed to stay up late to watch the BBC2 horror double bills in the 70s.

Can anyone remember if BBC2 used to show sci-fi films in the early evening during the 70s.

Finally anyone remember when silent horror films used to be shown on telly.
BBC 2 showed a very lengthy science fiction film season around 1983 about six in the evening after The Waltons.I remember these being on it for certain:-
Invaders From Mars (1953)
Robinson Crusoe On Mars
This Island Earth (A particular favourite of mine)
It Came from Outer Space (Same here)
Creature From The Black Lagoon
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956)
When Worlds Collide
War Of The Worlds
Colosuss-The Forbin Project
Forbidden Planet
Pure heaven as I watched them tucking into a bag of aniseed balls nicked from my stepdad's secret sweet stash.
Channel 4 showed the classic silent versions of The Cabinet Of Doctor Caligari & Nosferatu.
