    Maybe I should start a new thread for really terrible TV shows of the 80's? Manimal would have to be a strong entrant...
    How very dare you. Manimal was great, I think. Alot of great old TV tunes listed. Personally I like hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, mash a d more upto date, brooklyn nine nine

    Brilliant, but I liked the outro even more.

    50 seconds in. So melancholy - the car coats, briefcases, ordinary offices. No glamour. Believably mundane.

    I always thought of Ian Ogilvy as a sort of TV version Roger Moore, but these days he reminds me more of Pierce Brosnan.

    As a young man I was rather fond of Masako Natsume...

    I was really saddened when I just googled her to learn she died aged just 27. RIP Tripitaka.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XtyXnr5XV_A

    I am amazed that I can remember so many of the lyrics. I wish I could remember useful stuff. Or at least monetise the useless stuff I do know.
