I don't really watch that much TV, I'm more of a music man if truth be known. When I could afford to have Sky/Virgin, I generally watched Sports, Discovery, National Geographic or any good documentaries

Older program I loved as a kid was monkey(monkey magic)recently watched a 're tell series on Netflix. Not brilliant Australian. But nostalgic

Some times I’ve tried to watch old programs but been disappointed as they didn’t age well. The memory of them can be better than reliving them sometimes.

No, last episode Sam met a type of ‘god figure’ (a barman) told him that he could have jumped Mack at any time he had wanted. But Sam chose to continue to Jump...it was odd. And made no sense.

My vaguely contraversial opinion is that Fawlty Towers hasn't aged at all well, it's awful watching it now.

Controversial indeed - I still think it's great, unlike many from that era that now appear massively dated.

I agree, to a point. I think the humour is still there, but lots of it look like they did it in one take. Shaky walls, badly timed visual gags etc. Very funny, but your right, it shows it’s age.

I've got box sets of Buffy and Northern exposure.

I'd like to see 'due South' again and also try the original 'Magnum' and 'mcguyver' to see how the reboots compare.

Also Ballykissangel and Hamish MacBeth

You have to purchase a tv licence if you watch live tv broadcasts on any device including your phone and pc. By live I don't mean the programme has to be live just the broadcasting of it.
