    O.T.T, the adult version of Tiswas. It was dire but I'd buy it if Network or the like released it.

    There was also Saturday Stayback which was essentially O.T.T in a pub.

    Some strange choices here. Max Headroom, Sledge Hammer and Robin of Sherwood are hardly "forgotten" shows.

    I loved Sledge Hammer!

    I remember a very good BBC series called Maelstrom from the mid-eighties.

    It was a thriller set in Norway I believe.

    I agree.

    Robin of Sherwood in particular was a fantastic show and by far the best adaptation of the story. An excellent soundtrack provided by Clannad as well.

    Got a bit silly when Michael Praed left (and was killed off) and was replaced by Jason Connery though.

    There used to be a game show kids show with sarah greene they had a round with the game paperboy.. anyone remember what it was called.


    The one i remember with Paperboy in it was hosted by Debbie Greenwood.

    I just wiki'd her and it comes up with the show "first class" as having had paperboy in it, so that must've been it's name!!

    As for other shows - good call by the person that mentioned "That's my boy" and Kate and allie", that's my boy never ever gets a mention, and i wish kate and allie would get a repeat somewhere!

    If only Channel 5 hadn't decided the viewers couldn't understand it luckily there are other countries ones to watch on Youtube.

    The greatest reality show ever.

    The final (of Season 14) aired tonight in my country:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liUnUjMhY2M

    (you can also find the episodes subtitled in english there, name of the show + episode 1,2,3 etc.)



    And there is also a junior version (like the apprentice uk):

    P.S. The current host is a former contestant of the show.

    Ffloccinaucinihilipilification and pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (yep,.......copy and paste) were two words every contestant endeavoured to get in during the quiz show.

    Neighbours is still on TV every weekday with Stefan Dennis on channel 5. Charlene's son will be joining the cast this year and Doug Willis (Jason Donovan's real life dad) is also returning next month!

    Edit - totally misread that, sorry! Thought you had meant Neighbours was forgotten!

    Ha, same here! Stumbled across it after getting in from a night out in me younger days, caught the opening credits and thought how cheesy it looked. Took me a while to twig it was a spoof. I was probably 'tired' though. As a Newt. Always recorded it after that. :)

    Shattered (2004) - Reality series hosted by Dermot O'leary Ten contestants were challenged with going without sleep for seven days while their actions were constantly monitored. Over the seven days the ten housemates had to endure daily performance testing and a variety of challenges. They were competing for a potential prize fund of £100,000 though, at any point, if a contestant closed their eyes for over ten seconds, then £1,000 was deducted from the prize fund.

    I exactly like it.

    I remember it. It was a kids sketch show with kids making up most of the cast. One of the sketches they did was Palace Hill with the children pretending to be members of the royal family and set in a school with 'Prince Charles' being headboy. Palace Hill eventually became a show in its own right.

    The Adventure Game.
    Early 80's geek fun on BBC2, with a guy who could speak backwards, and all the hosts were named as anagrams of 'dragon'.
