Oh for a Time Machine! Thanks for putting these together. Where has the time gone?!
Only 3 channels back then but more to watch than the rubbish we get now, hence I am on RUclips watching the past.
We had the best T.V. Such as: Panorama, World in Action, Tomorrows World etc etc
Totally agree mate
You've summed up the historical development of British TV in a nutshell.👏🏻👍🏻
So true.
Seeing black beauty running free even today in my 60s always brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful loving creatures. Great video as always
And that music!
Sunday evening. I'd go back to hug my mum again. 😢
One of my fondest childhood memories is taking a tour of London Zoo with a bunch of other kids, hosted by Johnny Morris. He did all the voices and we were utterly entranced
Fantastic!
Such a warm feeling seeing All Creatures Great and Small and Black Beauty.
ACGAS is currently being broadcast on one of the minor Freeview channels. (Can’t remember which one though, Drama?)
@@AtheistOrphan Is it the remake though, the single episode I saw wasn't as good as the original (though I didn't watch much of the series, I preferred the books)
@@musicandbooklover-p2o - No it’s the original 1970s one. It’s on in the afternoons.
Certainly remember Animal Magic with the Late Johnny Morris in the 70s as a child in the 70s loved watching it 😊
I remember Terry Nutkins later on. Johnny Morris made the animals come to life with his voiceover. The standout ones were the elephants and gorillas.
I remember all of those, my short term memory these days is rubbish but my long term seems to be doing pretty well.
Same here!
Wow! I used to cry as a kid when the theme from Blabk beauty came on... I'm now 57 and the same thing just happened
Yup, same.
😢 yes!
What a wonderful collection of memories. ❤ Really looking forward to the rest in the series!! 😊
Thanks!
Black beauty was brilliant to watch and so was most of the programmes in the 70ts thanks for the memories great video
Armchair Thriller was a favourite of mine, although I was really too young to fully understand the plot.. I can remember High Tide, with Ian McShane's dog, The Circe Complex with Cat Devlin(!) Rachel in Danger with the Mini Cooper, Fear Of God, with The Regiment Of God, The Black Nun and my Favourite, Dying day with Mr Skipling overhearing a plot to kill him.
Mr Morris was one of the good guys and Robert Robinson's voice transports you instantly back in time.
Robert Robinson and his supercilious manner. He seemed less so on "Call my Bluff" though, which is why I enjoyed that show better than "Ask the Family."
How about "Against The Crowd" the most well known of which is Nigel Kneale's(the king) folk horror "Murrain"
Brilliant, just what I need, TV from the past.....
When I was young I used to watch anything with a horse in it and I loved 'The Adventures Of Black Beauty' a wonderful series which they just don't make this kind of thing anymore.
Nice to have an escape into the past from all of the turmoil and negativity around just now. Thank you Stu.😊
My pleasure Rob!
In those days, decades before podcasts, I had a set of 45s with stories told by Johnny Morris - they were great entertainment as he brought the animals to life with superb voices. RIP JM.
I had The Wombles and Rupert The Bear on vinyl and my dad had a Billy Connolly concert on vinyl too...I also had my mum's Dansette and played all her vinyl ...like High Tide and Green Grass - The Stones, Doctor Zhivago soundtrack, Beatles records, and many more..in fact she met all The Beatles, exchanged letters regularly with George Harrison's Mum and had tea with John Lennon and Cynthia.
I loved Bagpuss, The Clangers, Mr Benn, The Banana Splits, White Horses, Black Beauty, Folly Foot, Robinson Crusoe - strange TV series from France etc in B&W that would turn up in the summer...also like lol The Flashing Blade...
that drummer from animal quackers is the same as the banana split.
jonny morris, imbued me with a love of animals, that lead me to becoming an ecologist and passed down to my children
i remember a surprising number of these
Black Beauty/Follyfoot/White Horses - Nirvana for my horse-mad sister in the 70s!
I sometimes think I'm the only person in the world who loathed Are You Being Served. Black Beauty was always bitter-sweet - it usually filled the tea time slot on a Sunday and so meant your weekend was almost over and school would be back on Monday.
That’s exactly the same memory I have of Black Beauty!! 😂
I think the first few series of “Are you being Served” were funny... but, like many British Situation Comedies 🎭 it went on too long, and the storylines got sillier and more far fetched. “Fawlty Towers” is a comedy master class in less is more...
I met Johnny Morris once, back in the late1980s. I was working for Glendale Automatics, the company which produced the Parrot and Monkey machines, both of which were voiced by Morris. He, therefore, was guest of honour at the opening of a new factory.
Wonderful.
I loved the Kenny evetett video show in 1978 Captain kremmen ned ride around on a cassette recorder loly
Currently being broadcast on the Freeview channel Thats TV.
Hey, I just watched this video. I live in London Ontario, Canada. We used to get this show called "After Henry." It was on our PBS station from Buffalo in the States. I used to watch this show with my mom while she was very ill. We love this show, it put a smile on our face thur a very bad time in our life.
I'll definitely include the excellent After Henry when I do an 80s A-Z. It ran from 1988 to 1992.
😊
Thank you I love your channel I lived in England as a youngster in 1977 I was thirteen years old at the time I saw all creatures great and small Are you being served all the shows you mentioned thank you so much for you r upload this upload
That's great to hear Jason. Many thanks!
Even though I didn't actually watch the episodes, the Black Beauty theme is still the most impactful I've ever heard.
Great selection of programmes. In the early 90's we met Johnny Morris when he was performing in the Theatre Royal in Glasgow, he came into the pub across thr road, we had a few drinks in us, and started making animal noises the way he used to, but he took it in good humour.
Fantastic.
Arthur of the Britons and Black Beauty...my my what happy and joyful memories come flooding back.
At the very end of the 1970s, was series 1 of Agony, starring Maureen Lipman. I thought Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World ... but I see that was 1980.
Brilliant as always @Stu thank you for my feel good fix of nostalgic goodness. Please place your likes everyone. That is the least offering you can give to show your love and support 😊❤
That's really nice of you. Thanks!
My mum always said my dad looked like the guy on your thumbnail, Oliver Tobias 😂
Brilliant Stu. I remember most of these. Look forward to the rest of the Alphabet!!
I watch your videos with a lot of emotion. Great times and memories never to be recaptured. How lucky we were to be brought up in the 70/80s ❤
You're right there Alan. They were great decades to be brought up in. Glad you enjoy the videos and the memories!
You know your old when you are waiting for the next video already trying to guess what the "B"s will be..
Arr real tv programes and quite educational at the time i miss those days 56 years old now,, arthur of the britons brilliant. Great channel this keep up the great work best wishes from Shropshire phil 👍
Thanks Phil!
Great memories ! Had forgotten a few but the music at the beginning of the episodes brought them back .Thank you 😊❤
You're welcome 😊
A wonderful stroll down my past. I remember most of them. Wasn't there also a programme called 'A Family At War' or something similar. I'm sure I remember it but then I have to have my name sewn into my underwear so I know who I am.
I remember, 'Armchair Thriller', and remember thinking up an alternative show along a similar theme to the title, at the time. That being, 'Rocking Chair Comedy.' 😁
My brother has been in a band for years with the ex Animal Kwakers guitarist.
Fantastic!
The 'Armchair Thriller' Black Nun: 7 year old me went straight to bed after viewing this, heart pounding in terror for the first time in life. Traumatised for years.
So creepy!
Might be an Armchair Thriller...Timothy West Royal Jelly when he slowly became a bee.
@@alanprior7650 A memorable episode of Tales of the Unexpected.
@@stuviewtv I remember that episode well. "Yes dear...buzzzzz".
ok I dont remeber the program but the music to armchair thriller, haunts me to this day
I'm not a horse person, however I do remember Black Beauty, but it's the theme music 🎶 that I remember best! What a fantastic piece of music! So beautiful, so memorable, and so nostalgic!
Yes, that theme tune evokes such warm memories.
You had me going for a while there, I couldn't think how Black Beauty was going to fit in to an A category. I remember all the girls dribbling over Oliver Tobias.
It's nice to be able to put a face to the voice, now. Cheers Stu.
Yes, I remember him being a bit of a heartthrob!
I remember armchair thriller my first and favorite was Rachel in danger
And the chief inspector was the principle on grange Hill I saw quiet as a nun and a dogs ransome I love armchair thriller
I really enjoyed Ask the Family. It was more than general knowledge, it was also puzzles and logic problems, and trying to guess what something was from a very close up photo, that sort of thing. Either they picked very brainy families or everyone was a lot cleverer in those days!
As Quiet As A Nun episode of Armchair Thriller is probably the only episode I remember as it gave me nightmares for years as a kid. Whoever came up with the intro for Armchair Thriller did an excellent job. Great video, loving your work as it is giving me a great dose of nostalgia.
God yes, I remember that!
Glad you are enjoying the nostalgia. Many thanks!
My much better half often refers to the 'nun' getting up in the culminating scene. Happy(?) days.
Similarly traumatised.
OH MY GOD, Armchair Thriller, quiet as a nun terrified me as a kid, and it was the talk of the school yard.
We on had one tele when I was a kid and I was always outvoted when it came Animal Kwackers, which I hated.
I loved Ask Aspel. I remember when Peter Cushing was on. He did do some kids films, which is why he was probably a guest. He was in in the Amicus Doctor Who movies, and he was also in At the earth's core (1976) and Star Wars (1977) Black Beauty was another of my favourites. I had such a crush on Jenny Gordon, played by Stacy Dorning.
Splendid stuff,not least the ending credits featuring the nurses from St Angela's. My favourites, as an 11 year old lad, were Joanna Monroe, and possibly one of our most beautiful actresses ever, Fiona Fullerton
Thank you Stu.
My pleasure!
I would love to see a repeat of Arthur of the Britons.It was probably the closest to the real story .
It was created by the people who went on to do Robin of Sherwood. There was another one of theirs in the same vein that I can´t remember right now. with another legendary hero. I loved them all
I once had a nightmare that I went to the toilet, prepared to 'do my business' and when I sat down Mr Armchair Thriller was on it.
Those credits gave me nighmares! What were they thinking repeating it in the afternoons!?
Armchair Thriller was a bit hit and miss, but NOBODY ever forgot Quiet as a Nun.
Or the episode, A Dog’s Ransom, with that dead poodle in that puddle
Only remember half of these. Had forgotten animal Kwakers until i saw this. Quite a fun show if I remember.
I couldn't remember the opening credits to Armchair Thriller but as soon as I heard the music it came flooding back back to me. I remember Abigail's Party too although I was only 11 when it was aired. The Wings of Love painting might have something to do with it though as we had that on the wall for years at home.
Special mention for the cult kids TV show Ace Of Wands
What a theme tune that is.
Hear hear. For years I thought the theme tune was from the Tomorrow People, then the Andromeda Strain, however I could remember a few of the lines from the theme tune and thanks to Google the mystery was solved
My favourite show as a kid. I'm devastated that the earlier shows are now lost as they were the best. And I thought Tarot was gorgeous😍
Thank the now bankrupt Network for releasing loads of these classics.
@@QuoPaperPlane I'll bet you know who sang it 😉
hurray , thanks stu , from wigan , lancs , don t forget sunday afternoon tele when we all sailed away on the love boat lol
Oh yes, what a memorable theme tune that one had too!
@@stuviewtv thanks mate
There's something I want to see if it can be found- extract from a Jim'll Fix It episode (don't need to see that thing) where Peter Cushing wrote in & was filmed on location having a breed of rose made & named after his late wife Helen Cushing. Many will have heard how much Peter loved Helen. Really is a moving segment.
I remember that segment well.The Cushings were a true love match,and when cancer took Helen in1970,Peter three himself into his work,taking every script offered, which led to his appearances in several decidedly inferior films.
He resuscitated his career somewhat with his appearance in:Star Wars" in 1977.
Why he wasn't knighted is a mystery to me.👍
Great idea for a new strand. Some of these I really enjoyed and some I don't remember. Perfect.
Thanks Owen!
Love Jonny Morris and animal magic. Yes 3 channels but a wealth of good programs not the rubbish we have now.
Fantastic memories. Thanks, Stu. 😊
My pleasure as always!
So now I can see Stu's face in my head whilst watching. Thanks to the previous video, of course. Great stuff indeed.
And mother makes 3 loved it
Loved Armchair Thriller even though the opening credits freaked me out 😱 as soon as you mentioned Animal Magic the iconic theme tune went through my head. Ask The Family and Ask Aspel both brilliant programmes, and of course Black Beauty, a programme that made all us girls want a horse 😄
Oh yes, those credits to Armchair Thriller were really spooky!
@stuviewtv It certainly was 😬 looking forward to the next video Stu, I'll definitely B watching it 😜
Thank you for playing the Black Beauty theme tune. I always used to get sad at the end because I knew I was at school the next day. But I love the tune and it’s amongst Wham, Spandau Ballet and many more icons on my Spotify playlist 😊
Yes, it's one of those wonderful theme tunes that evokes such warm memories.
Mate, what a great idea. I’m really looking forward to seeing these over the next several months. Always really enjoy your nostalgic vids. One of the best subscriptions I have made!
That's great to hear! Many thanks.
Robin Davies, Catweazle, and mother makes 3 and 5 was also in a little known seventies horror flick, "The Blood on Satans Claw" died in 2010 RIP.
About Johhny Morris, I loved his travel shows more than Animal Magic, which came later. I remember he did all the voices! But I've never found any examples on RUclips.
The Black nun made me laugh all you saw was a black sheet over her face lol
I remember watching Animal Kwackers one afternoon and Sweet were on Top of the Pops later that evening and I just thought they were Animal Kwackers with their masks off! They might have been for all I know... 😂
I was 7 in 1978 and Armchair Thriller terrified me, particularly when the LWT ident was in moonlight! The story, A Dog’s Ransom was horrific!
Animal Kwackers were so wacky but absolutely loved it!
Being a rather timorous child, I would love to see you make a collection of TV that scared us to this day. I can start you off with 1) The boy from space, from the series "Look and read" which was shown in our school by rolling out a TV into the assembly hall. 2) "The changes" that made me scared to say "Merlin" and instead insisted to whatever was in my bedroom that I said Mervyn, as in Mervyn Day, the West Ham goal keeper at the time. (Sharing this for the first time on the internet, what could possibly go wrong)? and 3) The public information films such as "The spirit of dark and lonely water", and the boy getting electrocuted trying to retrieve his frisbee from an electrical substation. Nevertheless, I would like to to thank you for these uploads. Thank you.
Nice idea!
Totally get where you're coming from...old sherlock homes movies whilst staying at my grans used to terrify me( the scarlet claw)....and an episode of space 1999...with a weird monster which would swallow you and spit you out burned....scared the life out of me back then....where did the time go?
That nun one freaked me out as a kid.
Aaaaaa great overview 💎 The commentator makes you feel it's a one to one comfortable conversation.
Many thanks.
As a kid growing up in the 70s animal kwackers & animal magic were brilliant, rip Johnny Morris thanks for the memories Stu 😊😊
Johnny Morris was brilliant. The BBC removed him from Animal Magic because it thought kids would think that the animals could speak, believe it or not. The BBC were like that even in those days.
I can't remember Armchair Thriller at all, back in the 1970s, which peplexes me as I 💕horrors. Animal Kwackers, was just a cheap rip off of Banana Splits. Animal Magic was just charming and funny and oh The Adventures of Black Beauty, that them tune fills me with joy. I think I'll buy Black Beauty on DVD sometime. Thanks Stuview for the delightful memories. 🤗
My absolute pleasure Brian.
Yep, Armchair Thriller used to scare the hell out of me and my sister during the school holidays. I might sleep with the light on tonight.....just in case.
I uploaded some of these series on my previous channel. Hopefully they will be on my current channel. That included the great 'Quiet As A Nun'. Written by Harold Pinter's wife. The opening sequence with the red face did terrify me. I mean terrify! Animal Quackers, once seen never forgotten. Dramarama was the 1970s too? I'm thinking of the episode when a man turns into a tree & a later episode where a masked wrestler was not all what he seems. This was on at 4.30 for schoolchildren! Bring back the 70s.
i love the way the themes ident was at night for armchair thriller, even now the title music is still a bit creepy, fantastic series, and the nun still scares the crap out of me
Oh yes, still terrifying!
Rory Rory tell us à story.....i still wake up with that In my head
Loved animal kwackers
Thanks for the reminders
The Aeronauts was a fun French TV series dubbed into English... ( 1967-70 )
Cheers from Indiana
Stu, have you ever covered the comics of the 70s/80s? My sister used to treat me every Sunday with the money from her Saturday job. Warlord, Battle, Whizzer and Chips. Happy days
I haven't covered them yet but I would like to do something on them at some point. My favourites were Whizzer and Chips & Shiver and Shake.
Animal kwackers, the poor mans banana splits. Still worth a watch though. Watched abigails party just the other week on bbc4 bloody hilarious.
I remember Jemima Shore (a great series both on telly and the books) but don't think Armchair Thriller made it to NZ
Arthur of the Britons is another series I've never forgotten despite only ever seeing a few episodes - post 1977 when we got our telly and I suspect it was largely on before I came in from school. Wasn't there a friend with the name Kai in it, that character and Oliver Tobias are the only ones I really remember but looking at your shorts I know so many of the faces that appear. Better still both seasons are on RUclips and guess what I'm watching next. Thank you for this one especially, the characters stuck but I couldn't remember the name.
Are You Being Served was also on in NZ, my daughter still loves the series and has them all on DVD
Remember All Creatures Great and Small, the original that is, though I didn't really watch it. I'd found the books long before and always preferred the originals to versions on the telly. Same with Heartbeat, the books are better than the series.
I don't remember Black Beauty - though I know the theme music - but I do remember Follyfoot Farm (I think it was called). I've never been a huge fan of animal series including Lassie, Skippy and some US show which featured a dolphin from memory (all seen occasionally either on holiday or at a friend's house after school).
Oh brilliant again stu what great memories and what a great idea to go though the 70s like this quality 👏🍻
Thanks John!
How about "Aeronauts" ?? I think that was about 1970/71, could be wrong. I vaguely remembered "Animal Kwackers" but I think my mind has tried to erase it. Oliver Tobias was gorgeous in "Arthur of the Britons". "Armchair Thriller" was scary as hell !! I remember John Cleese being interviewed on "Ask Aspel", he looked a bit awkward! Johnny Morris had a lovely voice on "Animal Magic". I think he did some voice-overs on adverts later.
I’ve just re-read my Aeronauts annual! (1973). It was a French series originally called ‘Les Chevalliers des Ciel’ (Knights of the air - please forgive spelling). The BBC re-dubbed it into English but these redubs were subsequently wiped and lost. It had a very limited DVD release in France a few years ago and episodes can be found here on RUclips. Both of these are of course in French with no English subtitles.
@@AtheistOrphan My brother had that Aeronauts annual !! Thanks for the information, AO. Rick Jones, of "Play School" and "Fingerbobs" fame, released a single of the theme tune in 1972.
I don't remember Armchair Thriller from the opening titles but I certainly remember the nun with no face episode. That was very memorable and scary as a little lad. I have a vague recollection of another scary show with a completely different opening sequence that I always thought the nun episode was from. It had really spooky organ music. A stark white background and a creepy, Victorian doll falling and I think eventually smashing on the floor. I always found it really scary. Especially the music. Anybody else remember it or did I dream it all up?
That title sequence certainly rings a bell but I just can't remember what series it's from.
I don’t remember the opening credits with a China doll...but there was a series in the 1970s called “Thriller.”
I was ten when I watched Armchair Thriller's "The Black Nun". Sleep? I got nun. (Sorry)
I love that Armchair Thtiller, had the special THAMES nighttime intro. Were they the only show that had that?
So i grew up in South Boston (Massachusetts, not Lincolnshire) and the scenery of american tv didnt speak to me, sunny California grosses me out. But our outstanding public broadcasts station wgbh would show things set in britain and the scenerty and place names (worcester, leicester etc.) spoke to me alot more. Rain, old buildings. Urban decay...."its grim up north" applied to us as well as Manchester and Durham. Then all of the music i love punk,postpunk c86 etc. Was very english. The smiths had that whole kitchen sink drama aesthetic...Rita Tushingham wasca star to me. Ill admit it im an anglophile. I have a father frm ireland that used to bitch about Britain and id tink..."i kinda like them." So i love this shit
I remember a lot of these. This is off topic, but does anyone else remember an 80s TV show called Anything Goes? All that comes up on Google is the Cole Porter show or a TV programme with Keith Chegwin, not what I remember. The one I mean was from around 87/88, and was about different places to visit in the UK, featuring a different place each week. One of the places featured was Chester. I think possibly Martin Roberts was one of the hosts. Can't believe nothing comes up on Google, I definitely didn't dream it up! Anyone else remember it?
I hated Animal Kwackers and will never forget the 'Rory, Rory, tell us a story...', Loved Animal Magic and Black Beauty. Never missed Alias Smith and Jones, with Pete Duel and Ben Murphy. Though it wasn't the same after the death of Pete Duel.
Armchair Thriller makes me immediately think of dead poodles.
Dont remember Armchair Thriller but I'm sure my parents watched Armchair Theatre but maybe I'm just getting the name wrong Loved Animal Magic The voices he did for the animals were brilliant and then Alias Smith and Jones when I was a bit older It wasnt the same after Pete died Look foward to the next one
Some of these were a bit cheaty!! The adventures of Black Beauty for instance? Bit tentative for a list beginning with 'A'😂 Good fun though!
Hate to think the state of your brain by the time you've finished this series :) - looking forwards to your possible comments further down the line on The Flashing Blade and The Water Margin, both of which I have on DVD (and I might go for a rewatch of the latter soon).
The Water Margin will definitely be included when we get to W. I used to love watching that.
This is going to be an excellent series, really looking forward to the rest of the series. I really liked Ask The Family although I always thought it was well off families that were in it?!? Daddy was a nuclear physicist and mummy was an optometrist. Another crackin’ video Stu. Thank you for making and sharing. All the best to you and yours. 👍👍👍
Many thanks as always John.
Loved armchair thriller
Helllp, please! I’ve had this tune from a 70s or 80s show, possibly a comedy, going through my mind for months and months but I cannot think of the name of it. I’ve watched so many 70s/80s intro vids but haven’t come across it. It goes… Doop doobey-doobey doo doo - Doop doobey-doobey doo doo - Doo-do be doo-do be do-do be-doo doobey-dooooo! Repeat. Possibly played on the flute. Put me out of my misery.
It wasn't "Shelley" was it? With Hywel Bennett?
@@carolebarker2195 Sadly not. I thought it might be Shelley until I heard the theme tune to the show.
I've doop-doobey doo doo'd three times now 😂😂 the only intro that I can think of played on a flute was the beginning of the American comedy Taxi but it doesn't really go with the rhythm of the doop doos 😂
@@Julie-sm7sp lol 😂 Thanks for trying. Don’t let the “doobey-doos” get into your brain like they have mine. Definitely not Taxi. I’m thinking English, middle class, whimsical, comedy starring well known English, middle class, whimsical actors. I could be wrong. 🙂
@@Urban-Spaceman 🤣🤣 It was worth a try, I was more focused on the flute part 🤣 I think we might need the expertise of Stuview TV 😁
amazing. thanks so much for these memories
My pleasure!
Love the channel Stu
Thanks!
Always enjoy your videos. I remember ' Thriller ' 73-76, from ATV, scary stuff as a kid lol. Was 'Armchair Thriller ' an updated version in 78' ? 👍 Looking forward to 'B' 😃
There’s a free view tv channel called rewind, that are showing reruns of thriller as we speak, a really good reminder.
@@atae7185 Thank you 👍
Could I add 'Ace of Wands' to the list at the end? I've only ever seen the DVD and I think the first two series are lost, but it's got a great weird 70s children's TV vibe (check the titles on RUclips). Also I think the terrifying Animal Kwackers creatures would have made a far better subject for that Banana Splits horror movie!
Can't believe I didn't add Ace of Wands to the list! It does get a deserved mention though in another video on the channel - Forgotten TV Series of the 70s.
@@stuviewtv Groovy! And appropriate!
Not sure if it was the 70s or 60s but I do vaguely remember All Gas And Gaters with Derek Nimo. Anyone confirm the decade?
It says 1966-71 on imdb. Was "O Brother" a sequel to that, or was it a separate thing?
@@carolebarker2195 According to Wiki, Derek Nimo was filming these at the same time but there was no connection in the charactors nor the general theme.
@@QuoPaperPlane Thank you. Derek Nimmo was so funny. It seemed that comedies with monks in them were all over the place back then !!
