80's TV shows

mad - a mate of mine was talking to me the other day about manimal.

I too thought he'd had hallucigens put in his food.

obviously I was wrong.

I wont be telling him he was right though after the p1ss I took out of him!

 

Grow a pair and tell him.

it's like when you try to explain Monkey (TV from the 70s) to someone in the pub.  People think you're completely off your face.

Most of the time, i am.

[evv]

is it hyper Olympics?

think I remember that show

Having just googled it, i believe it was "First Class" presented by Mossley Hill's very own Debbie Greenwood.

 

I still can't remember it though...

It is, yeah.  It was on BBC1 around tea time.  I have a reasonable memory of it so it must be from 88 onwards, I'd guess. 

 

Here's a bit more about it:

Anyone remember BMX Beat? It used to be on during the summer holidays. I remember staying at my cousin's house one summer and BMX Beat was on. We wanted to watch that but his older sister wanted to watch Why Don't You? instead. Given that she was the oldest, she pulled rank, told her parents and we were asked to switch the channel. Within seconds on Why Don't You? they started showing a segment on BMX bikes and all the tricks you can do on a halfpipe. Her face was funny as fuck!

Used to be allowed to stop up late (after 9?) on Friday nights to watch this. At the time it was considered fairly violent.

 

Friday night was bath night (you have to be a certain age to know this term). 

 

On top of that, Doyle (Martin Shaw) bore more than a passing resemblance to the newly revamped Action Man who sported realistic 'fuzzy' hair and gripping hands.

Kickstart!

 

Great shout.

 

Used to watch it every Sunday.

Ulysses 31.

French manga version of the Iliad, except in space. In the 31st century.

 

Ulysses was cool as fuck though.

[Rushies tash]

...speaking of manga, this was also brilliant (to an eight year old me...)

The American version we got to see had an annoying R2D2 style narrator every now and again, who was there to replace the more violent clips from the Japanese original.

Used to love the Hulk TV Series. I remember there was an episode called "The other" where David Banner found that there was a scientist who had injected similar gamma rays he had absorbed into some old caretaker. The other hulk was scary, dead tall, mad hair and big teeth. There was a scene where he was trying to get a gate off a mine as he was trapped in it. Me and my brother had proper nightmares for weeks after it.

 

Same here.  Shit myself watching that episode.

 

I used to hide behind the sofa when the opening tune for the hulk started, the bit when banner changes the wheel and his eyes go all fucked up for the first time.  The hulk was a lot meaner looking in the pilot as well.
