10 More Forgotten 70s TV Shows

[@leedswiggy]

I remember every series on this one. Harry Worth was excellent but I think catweazle was my favourite.

[@borassictime918]

I very much remember the Changes. Very cleverly written and though-provoking kids tv as I recall.

[@TudorSmith]

I must be one of those who has never seen Monkey! I do remember my parents watching the likes of David Nixon, Harry Worth and When the Boat Comes In. But as a kid, Catweazle was the winner for me. Heck, I even joined the fan club and shared a table with Geoffrey Bayldon at a celebrity dinner. I really enjoyed this video Stu 👍

[@stuviewtv]

Oh wow, that's fantastic that you got to share a table with Catweazle himself!

[@thejughead138]

Of this great bunch, Catweasle was my favourite. I remember and loved the opening jingle to 'When The Boat Come In' That series brings back fond memories of my Sundays!

[@Laza367]

Many thanks from Australia for the memories. While some are unfamiliar, others such as Monkey and Catweazle bring back many happy childhood memories . Always amazed how shows like Catweazle had only two series of 13 episodes. They seemed to go on forever when I was kid. I have a vague memory of another English show , The terracotta horse that showed during school holidays down under

[@stampy2011]

You are right about Catweazle, incidentally there was to be a third series where the reprising of the last scene of the balloon touches down on the farm (from the first series), for the start of series three. Wish they made it.

[@brianbiddle8392]

Nice to see The Masterspy getting some love, but do you remember Who Dunnit, hosted by Jon Pertwee. Also you forgot one of the regulars on the David Nixon Show - Basil Brush.

[@JonathanHart-v3y]

What is very interesting when you watch both seasons of Catweazle is how much better the first series is to the second. But both were great Sunday mid morning TV.

[@Kvbftng]

David Nixon show, i wrote to him or the show for one of his magic books when I was small, and surprisingly there sent me one of his books . I was so happy and grateful , because he had a great programme and so popular.

[@stuviewtv]

That's fantastic.

[@SafetyProMalta]

First episode of when the boat comes in was outstanding for capturing PTSD and veterans against politicians.

[@Pierre61]

The 'Telling bone' has to be one of the best (insert posh word here) pieces of punnery I can remember. Are there still writers who can envisage 'four candles' as a comedy gateway or write a pop song including Bell end and Ring piece' I don't know. I feel we've been conditioned to not accept anything which might upset anyone. Salute the golden age of comedy, we shall not see its like again.

Loved this. However, the only two shows I definitely, clearly remember are My Name Is Harry Worth and Catweazle, with How Green Is My Valley a rather hazy memory.

Hello, Stu. I remember these from when I was a youngster-including Monkey (and The Water Margin), Harry Worth (my sister and I would do the window schtick with mirrors and shop windows, lol), The Master Spy, David Nixon (I loved his magic shows), and Catweazle (which was a particular favourite of my older sister). Please keep them coming.

Monkey was a must watch show along with the other Japanese classic, The Water Margin, both funny and brilliant!, Harry Worth and David Nixon were both firm favourites too, i was in my teenage years when most of these were shown so it brings back many happy memories.

I absolutely love Monkey! A Japanese show based on a Chinese legend/myth narrated by a man more famous for saying, "Que?", what's not to love! It's actually pretty weird that this was on here today as I've just finished watching Kamen Rider Ghost and one of the Legendary Heroes is Sanzo, who is a Japanese interpretation of Xuanzang, who's the priest in the original Journey to the West myth Monkey is based on! Fantasy Island was great too, used to love it. Not sure I'd want to sit and watch it now though, not like I would Monkey, or Knight Rider etc., little too slow for me. Catweasel was mental! Can't remember most of it now, but I seem to recall it being a bit... Unhinged. Great roundup as always Stu, cheers!

It's the unique tone of The Masterspy that stuck in the memory, the mixture of genres you mention, plus the suave William Franklin and, most of all, the glamorous Jenny Lee Wright, always introduced by name each week. By the way, something about the credits of The Changes reminded me of a childrens' drama series on ITV which was shown on Sunday afternoons just before or after The Muppet Show and was about a teenage boy working on a Grimsby or Hull trawler. What was it called?

[@alanprior7650]

I remember Fantasy Island as a kid but it was on too late for me to see it. When I moved to America I got to see it on KZbin and it occurred to me that O'Rorke and his sidekick were angels (hence the white suits) and a couple of episodes had Roddy McDowell (in black) playing Satan.

Monkey is based on a classical Eastern story 'Journey to the West' . As an interesting historical note, the “Tripitaka Koreana” is a Korean collection of the Tripitaka (Buddhist scriptures). Carved onto 81,258 wooden printing blocks in the 13th century, under commission by the Goryeo dynasty of Korea (918-1392 CE), it is currently stored at Haeinsa Monastery in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula in South Korea. Of course I have Monkey on DVD and my son has a remastered version on Blu-Ray !!!

Such a shame he isn't better remembered today.

[@carolebarker2195]

I used to love "Catweazle", and I enjoyed the first series with Robin Davies as Carrot, more than the second one with Gary Warren. It had a rural feel, as Carrot lived on a farm and featured Neil McCarthy as Sam, the farmhand. I think in the second series they were trying to sell it to the yanks or something so they set it in a stately home which didn't really work as well, I thought. I remember a few episodes of "Timeslip", which I enjoyed as it was an unusual idea. The budget was a bit small though and some of the scenes were a bit talky. Not really enough action! David Nixon was such a sweetheart, so engaging. I couldn't believe it when I was told he'd passed away.
