Oh and if possible, could I have the television company that made the memory.

Do you need a voice to link the programme?

Don't know if you know this one, but there was a brilliant one from about 1989, where David Jason did a brilliant pratfall while another character looked slightly bemused. They were in a wine-bar, if memory serves me right.

Can anyone remember what the programme was? I should know, but the last time I saw the clip was as long ago as last Saturday night.

Anyway, it was absolutely brilliant - you could show it 100 times!

Was there a funny walk involved anywhere there? Something to do with foreigners, possibly German? Or is that another program - its so hard to remember, everything's just a distant, blurred memory...

Real TV memories:

The Goodies - String episode, esp. Raymond Baxter and the string song
Alas Smith and Jones - The Incredible Bullshitting Man
Early erotic memory - some Dunlop ad that ended with unfortunate female tennis player losing her kit (couldn't do it nowadays, political correctness gone mad etc etc...)
An American show with Roddy McDowell in it called Fantastic Journey (or something like that)

Some classic moments:
The bit in Doctor Who - Deadly Assassin when the Doctor is held underwater (in fact most of the Matrix sequence)
The Python Raymond Luxury Yacht sketch, or the flying lessons sketch
The helicopters at the end of Very British Coup
Morecambe and Wise on The Sweeney
The episode of Shoestring where a load of dodgy car race games have been sold to families at Christmas and Shoestring has to get to the one household that hasn't been warned before a child gets electrocuted
End of Episode 5 of Edge of Darkness (GET ME PENDLETON!)
The bit in I Claudius where Caligula cuts off the head of his wife and it whip pans to the next scene
Phil Daniels closing monolgue from 'Holding On'
Ecclestone's death scene in 'Cracker'

More when I think of some...

>The episode of Shoestring where a load of dodgy car race games have been sold to families at Christmas and Shoestring has to get to the one household that hasn't been warned before a child gets electrocuted

Fuck I remember that! I really didn't imagine I might be able to remember a Shoestring plot, but that one, yes. I even remember the unexpected saviour to the plot that means the kids don't get electrocuted, but I won't spoil it in case BBC Worldwide release it on video soon (hah!).

Got to be careful, this is turning into TV Cream...

I remember nothing else about Shoestring, since I was around 8 or 10 when it was on. I couldn't vouch for it's quality or lack thereof.

Shoestring was an excellent series (1979-1980), and I really don't understand why it hasn't been repeated on terrestrial since 1982. I don't know if Trevor Eve's the fly in the ointment - he refused to do more than two series, and the BBC weren't happy, apparently. Ironically, Eve stopped doing it because he didn't want to get typecast, and yet it's still the body of work he's best remembered for.

Incidentally, because Shoestring finished, its creator Robert Banks Stewart thought up the inferior Bergerac. Which John Nettles was perfectly happy to star in for about ten bloody series.

Meridian did this a few years back to celebrate 35 years of ITV down south. Southern Television's Houseparty topped the list. So let's see Sylvia Marshall make that tomato soup cake one more time!

Make the show a bit better than Tyne Tees' recent efforts. The top 100 Tv moments were good but I liked 'TV Hell' (victor lewis smith) from 1992 better.

"GBH" (Alan Bleasdale, Ch4) - various moments, especially those with Daniel Massey, and the Dr Who convention episode

"Dad's Army" (BBC) - Sgt Wilson pissing himself laughing at Mainwaring's toupee

"The Fishing Party" (BBC Play for Today, 1972) - Brian Glover and his fisherman chums stay in a snooty guest house and defy the expectations of the hostess who thinks they're all hooligans.

"Martin Chuzzlewit" (BBC 1994) Keith Allen's surprisingly evil Jonas, and the scene where he murders Pete Postlethwaite in a storm-lashed overturned carriage, Tom Wilkinson's amazing hypocrite Pecksniff

"Porterhouse Blue" (Ch4/Eastman Films 1987?) Fabulous - Zipser blows up the bell-tower with inflated condoms while shagging Mrs Biggs, Griff Rhys Jones portrayal of a manipulative TV producer/presenter, David Jason's mad turn in a Thames TV studio...

"Yes Prime Minister" (BBC 1985) pure gold, my personal favourite is the moment where Humphrey explains who reads the British newspapers, and their relationship to who runs Great Britain. When Jim asks, "What about Sun readers?" Bernard jumps in with, "People who read the Sun don't care who runs the country as long she's got big tits!"

"Incidentally, because Shoestring finished, its creator Robert Banks Stewart thought up the inferior Bergerac. Which John Nettles was perfectly happy to star in for about ten bloody series."

I heard that Nettles was the original choice for Shoestring, but I don't know why he didn't do it.

Any other TV MEMORIES?

>Morecambe and Wise on The Sweeney

Sorry to be such a geek, but I still think Regan's walking-out speech in the last ever ep, "I am UTTERLY and abjectly PISSED OFF with this little lot!... Well yer can STUFF IT!" is one from the non-perishable category.
