Dunno if any of you saw this the first time round, but I read this NS article on it earlier and was intrigued.

Sounds like it upset the authorities a bit too much, and just about got away with it by the skin of its teeth until THATCHER.

First episodes already on the iplayer, just watching now.

This is great so far, good old-school BBC grimness. A very young Alan Ford has just got nicked.

G. F. Newman is one of the maddest people in British television I love that legend

I certainly remember the hoo-hah over it but, in those pre-VCR days for all but the richest families, i missed the first one and wasnt able to catch up. tbh was probably a bit young for it at the time.

I wasnt aware it had ever been repeated. maybe it was the second hoo-hah that I remembered then.

Sorry this post has really added nothing except to say thanks for letting us know its on iplayer now.

All I remember about this is Pete Beale and that other bloke from Eastenders.
