Game On deserves a shout, it was fucking brilliant*

 

*not really amnesty

I would say Game On, which I watched all of at some point in the past few years, is bordering on amnesty - it's of its time of course but some of the jokes/terminology are pretty dubious by today's standards. The third series is shite as well.

I enjoyed "Watching" years ago. Emma Wray was great and the incomparable Patsy Byrne was in lots of them.

Was watching ' A Confession ' the thing about the murder of Sian O' Callaghan , and recognised one of the actors in it. couldn't work out who it was but noticed at the end it was Paul Bown , the main male lead in Watching. Wiki says he is 63 but he looks ancient.

Not really amnesty, more like "was it just me who saw this shit?":

 

Mog - badly misjudged sitcom about a criminal holed up in a hospital for those with stereotypical mental health issues ("kleptomaniac", "nympho" etc.)

 

Bottle Boys - about, erm, milkmen.

 

I think both were on Granada's Night Time, back in my insomnia days. Please someone say you saw them for fucks sake.

I remember Mog ( Don't remember the other one ). I'm sure it was written by the guys who did Porridge.

 

Does any of the older forumites remember ' The Squirrels' with Ken Jones, quite liked that.

I remember Bottle Boys, starring perennial cheeky chappy soft porn favourite Robin Askwith.

 

Load of old shite.
