Was the Singing Detective a Sunday night programme?

 

It was and very good it was too

[Moctezuma]

Showing my age here but remember Monarch of the Glen in amongst most of the Sunday night gloop that would fill the TV screen. Everything about it was inoffensive and pastel shaded, perfect brain melt material for that time in the week (see success of Downton Abbey).

 

Unfortunately for me that time of the day also incorporated the enveloping doom of having to go back to school, now I can look back with my rose tinted spectacles on, but I detested school at the time.

So did we but then they go and flog the life out of a good thing. Same with so many shows.

True. I thought PC Joe Mason was very good, though. In fact, I'd go as far to say that he is my favorite Heartbeat policeman after Alf Ventress.

Did The Onedin Line predate Poldark?

You'd know that better than me Cath! Winky smiley thing.

Edit. Us old farts have to stick together, you know

[VladimirIlyich]

I didnt even notice that to be honest.

That makes me feel old now.

I loved that programme.

 

Brings back great memories of watching it with my Grampher.

Nice one mate. Reminds me of my best friend's dad when I was a kid. I'd be down there playing and he'd be roaring at all of us to shut up when it was on so in the end we'd just sit down and watch it with him. Great programme.

Phil Drabble. What a great name for a presenter.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Songs of praise. Hardcastle and McCormack. Tales of the unexpected. South bank show. Last of the summer wine.

[Bogman]

Lovejoy.

 

Can't remember if I was at school then, or left. Damn memory.

 

Do remember heartbeat being a sunday shoe-in around my house.

This thread is scarier than Mr Pipes and the Tripods combined.

Howards way.

Songs Of Praise was the Angel Of Weekend Doom. I never used to watch it, but almost inevitably would come across it by either watching what preceded it or by flicking over the channels. It hovered like a spectre of death over early Sunday evening, announcing the end of your weekend and the countdown to the beginning of the hell that was your school week.

This thread has reminded me off the horrific School Tomorrow' feeling I had forgot.......

 

Thanks a fucking bunch OP'er you are a cunt

 

Songs of praise was the ultimate spine chiller though,and surprise surprise was a close second

[Trumo]

Didn't London's Burning used to be shown on Sunday nights? If so, then that too. 

[The Golden Eel]

Bread

This was more tea time but this was the end of the weekend for me as after this is was whatever shite period drama my Mum would watch on a Sunday night...

Word for word spot on. Sunday evening telly could well have been ace, but that looming specctre wiped out any prospect of enjoying it.  

 

Luckily Songs of Praise was 100% depressing by itself.

Songs of praise

Heartbeat

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Songs of praise makes me want to burn things. With both fire and acid.
