    interesting. Maybe these things are common after all.

    At this time on a Sunday back in 1994, I'd be watching Grange Hill now on BBC Two, then over to channel 4 for voyage to the bottom of the sea and little house on the prairie.

    The days when I knew how to relax.

    I was on the Blue Peter side of the fence in the 1970's not Magpie. John Noakes was my favourite presenter.

    SUPERSTARS was a show i loved too. It was a show where famous sport stars from various sports competed again other famous sport stars in multi disciplined events.

    The Waltons was another show i enjoyed which usually aired on a Sunday afternoon.

    Survivor was a long running series that i enjoyed but it scared me. It was a hard hitting drama about survivors in the UK trying to stay alive after a virus had wiped out most of the world's population.

    My Sci Fi fix was Blake's 7. A show i absolutely loved.

    Can't stop humming tune to 'The Love Boat' 🙄😅.

    Loved 'The Saint' and 'Randall and Hopkirk (deceased'). I'm sure both were on on a Sunday too.

    Hi Catherine, yes it was a very scary show for sure especially as i was a young teen with a still developing mind. Kinda like The Walking Dead but without the zombies.

    Hi Santosha,

    I remember The Love Boat, The Saint, and Randall and Hopkirk well and all were shows i enjoyed. If i had to name my all time favourite show i would go with Hill Street Blues which was a ground breaking cops and robbers show from the US. It was the forerunner to lots of other hard hitting drama shows. M.A.S.H was another favourite, Cheers too. Oh and Mary Tyler more. Petrocelli and Lou Grant also.

    Hart to Hart wow that's a blast from the past! I can't remember the names of the two lead actors either but the female lead was my first ever crush. Alongside rock star Suzi Quatro.

    Just to annoy everyone 'Love, exciting and new, come aboard, we're expecting you', ha ha, if you know, you know.

    I remember Hill Street Blues, mum and dad watched it but I don't know why i didn't. I loved Starsky and Hutch. David Soul, swoon swoon 😂
