    I actually live near the theme park Flambards in Cornwall . Is it connected ?

    Apparently so. It opened in 1976 and was called the Cornwall Aviation Park. Then, around 1979/1980 aircraft used in the TV series were put on display there and early twentieth century period rooms were added and the park was renamed Flambards. As you probably know, Victorian and Second World War period 'experiences' were added later.

    I went there on my honeymoon in 1998 and really enjoyed my time there.:)

    Getting really obscure now, does anyone else remember Tip-Top TV on the Paramount Channel, presented by Kid Tempo and the Ginger Prince?

    Yes. :) Spent 10 days in Cornwall and Flambards was one of the places we went to, because we are both history geeks.:)

    As tv seems to be dominated by reality I've often wondered why they've never brought back The Mole and Wanted - also loved The Tourist Trap with John Nettles narrating.

    Who Dares Wins - classic comedy show, went to see the stand up show they did with Tony Robinson recreating their take on the 'emperors new clothes' sketch and running around the theatre completely naked :blush:

    As for kids tv, might be 70s but

    Anyone remember Ice Warriors, aired for one series in 1998 and was basically Gladiators on ice.

    Presented by Dani Behr? I remember it well and enjoyed it! but seemed to just vanish

    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.

    Yes I remember this programme and actually have a few episodes taped. I remember there being one night where they all did yoga.

    Other TV show I remember was Speed Sunday on ITV in the 2004 F1 season, that quickly vanished after the season ended. I thought it was good! was a bit like the BBC's F1 Forum

    Ahh, Billy and Pincy.
    This was an excellent comedy drama. Poor Gary Olsen.

    Has anyone mentioned the 1900 House and the Edwardian Country House? I'm surprised these haven't repeated or rebooted since the success of Downton Abbey.

    Murun Buchstansangur - An early Channel 4 cartoon about a grey creature who lived in a cupboard under a sink and picked his nose a lot. His size/scale was inconsistent with him sometimes being drawn as tiny and sometimes as person-sized.

    Just did a wikipedia on it to remind myself.

    Euston Films, I should've guessed that. It's got their stamp all over it. Very much in the Minder style.

    The bbc mini series In The Red from 1998 was really prescient about banking with great digs at the BBC and the media in general

    Chateauvallon
    Mission Eureka
    The Black forest Clinic
    Eurocops
    The Chart Show
    Network 7
    Club X
    Channel 4 red triangle films
    After Dark
    Space Precint
    Star Fleet
    The magic Micro Mission

    I loved After Dark and Eurocops! And I remember Chateauvallon, a French soap opera. Black Forest Clinic rings a bell as well. I used to watch C4 a lot in the 80's/90's but I hardly watch it these days, there doesn't seem to be much on there of interest to me.
