Rumpole of the Bailey – 1978-1992. The John Mortimer novels were the basis for this great old series. Leo McKern was a great Rumpole and of course we cannot forget “She Who Must Be Obeyed”.
The Avengers – the series with Patrick McNee and Diana Rigg, of course. 1961-69. Still a cult favourite.
The Forsyte Saga – 1967. The first mini-series apparently. Based on novels by John Galsworthy. This is in glorious black and white and is much better than the later remake.
The Good Life – 1975-1978. Wonderful cast with Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal and Penelope Keith. Amusing premise which is now much more mainstream – self sufficiency.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – 1981. Based on a radio play by Douglas Adams. Sci-fi humour. And you get to find out the answer to the universe and everything…
