    I've got loads of stuff taped off the tv. Some recorded myself, others that I've acquired through swapping with other people and ebay. I'm a fan of comedies, and the ones I can think of, off the top of my head, that I've got that haven't been released on dvd or repeated recently are:

    Just Good Friends (Complete with Christmas special)
    That's My Boy
    Me And My Girl
    Just The Two Of Us
    Three UP Two Down
    Watching (Complete with specials)
    See You Friday
    Holding The Baby (Nick Hancock series)
    Blue Heaven

    I don't have them complete, but I've also loads of old Buzzcocks, HIGNFY, Fantasy Football and They Think It's All Over. I'm also close to completing the entire Neighbours series (some 5467 episodes to date!)

    Now we know the source for the ebay bootleg dvd's of the 90 minute Just Good Friends special:)

    I'm seriously trying to get all episodes of Have I Got News For You but it is an nightmare finding the older ones!

    I used to collect loads of TV episodes but then I thought "will I ever watch these again" and soon just gave up!

    This person on youtube may help

    I don't suppose any of you have The Mistress taped do you? I'm hoping against hope the BBC decide to release this on DVD.

    Now there are some series. I would love to get hold particularly of Spender and Shoestring. I also want a series called Connie (with Stephanie Beecham), Anglia drama The Chief and 2 Canadian series called ENG and Street Legal

    I used to record loads of stuff. Sci-fi like Babylon 5, DS9, Space Above and Beyond, all of which I have on DVD now. I already have Fastlane and Jake and the Fatman series 1 on order (both of which I still have the VHS of).

    I still have Dark Skies on VHS, the whole of NYPD Blue (all series), North Square from C4, all of SeaQuest, Alien Nation, and every Superbowl since 1992. Those were the days eh?

    I was thinking, I might record Sarah Connor onto DVD, then I realised it was already scheduled for release on DVD, so I didn't bother.

    I've got all episodes of Hippies, from 1999 with Simon Pegg. I say all, there was only 6 made and i loved it :D. I put them together and burned to my own DVD as i thought it would never be released, but after 9 years it just has been.

    Well reading this thread made me feel a lot better about my weird recording habits... turns out they arent so weird!!!

    I have every Diagnosis Murder including the original first 2 and the tv feature length specials that where out after the last series and I have taken to recording Murder 101 as well.

    Can I ask, would you be willing to do me a copy of a Diagnosis Murder episode I'm missing, called Sleeping Murder. My skybox messed up big time! Would be willing to pay expenses via Paypal...

    Please, contact me via Private Message or through this site...

    I would love to see Spender again, I really liked that. I have the first 2 episodes of Shoestring but that's it!

    Now I am jealous ;)

    I am a big fan of the historian Michael Wood and have been recording most of his programmes since the late 80's. The ones I would really love to have are his "Domesday book" series from 1986 and the "Dark Ages" series from 1981. The BBC released a box set of DVDs but they didn't include either of those in it :mad: They both still exist as clips from them have been shown in other programmes.

    Going to show my age here but before my mum and dad bought a VCR, I used to audio tape episodes of Coronation Street and the US sit-com Soap. Must have been around 1979 or 1980.

    Only four - Jeeves & Wooster, Firefly/Serenity, Lexx and Battlestar Galactica (the recent one, not the rubbish (IMV) original).

    I have, though, more collections - but there's no way I'm going to pull them all out to simply list here.

    I used to have tapes of all the eps of Xena sent over to me from a friend in America. Cost me a lots to have a VHS player with the then rare ability to play NTSC material. Course later I bought the whole thing again on DVD but that's kinda cheating. I also taped all the eps of Buffy and Angel for my daughter. Once again I then bought all the DVDS when they became available.

    Just recently I had a friend send me over the third season of The Closer, having bought the first two seasons. And I've bought all the eps of Criminal Minds, House and Bones too.

    Regards

    Mark

    In the late 70's I compiled an audio tape of tv themes.

    But how primitive was it - I used to have to hold the mic in front of the tv speaker and it was hard to judge the distance right

    PS, I never 'watch' episodes as I'm collecting them. I have the volume down and do something else whilst it's recording they furthur on in time when the collection in finished start watching them in order properly.

    Well for stock pile collections. Eg, QI, Mock The Week, Doctor Who I watch as live (and record at the same time)

    This thread just got me all nostalgic for Dark Skies. Tape 1 ok. Tape 2 - both copies have lines all over them. *sigh* :cry:
    I have just been out and bought a 1Tb hard drive, and I'm going to have to start ripping content off my VHS before they all die.

    I now have no collections on the go :eek: Can't have this it's the chase of the collecting I enjoy in truth.

    I'm toying now with collecting The Grim Adventures Of Billy & Mandy but Cartoon Network's scheduling is messy, I know they will start stuff early all the time, but it’s the likely candidate for me to start next.
