Porridge was always going to be a tough act to follow. And Going Straight suffered because of it.

Something of a rarity in the TV life of Richard Briers-an unsuccessful sitcom which came sandwiched between two successful ones, namely, The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles.

Crossing five generations of children and courting controversy at almost every twist and turn of its storylines, Grange Hill, was hailed in some quarters as the most important children's television series of all time.

Short lived but lively musical series based on The Wizard Of Oz.

Stately Motley Hall has been the ancestral home of the Uproar family since the 16th Century...and they refuse to leave.

Off-beat TV series that reunited Terry Scott and Hugh Lloyd a year after their last series together found the two stars in the almost surreal guise of two garden gnomes!

Superior comedy that pulled no punches in addressing the realities of growing old, whilst treating its core characters in a positive way, proving that not only did life begin at forty it also went on well into the 50's, 60's and beyond.

The mere mention of this series name is likely to bring a very large smile to the faces of British sitcom fans, for The Good Life is one of the few series that is considered a true classic.

The Goodies were the quintessential image of a 1970's Britain that had not yet shaken off its 1960's 'swinging' image.

Another cracking series from Lynda La Plante who has always excelled in placing her female lead characters in what are perceived to be male dominated roles.
