Surgical Spirit's a good one. I associate it with the weekend... was it on Fridays? [checks] Yeah. Bloody hell, it ran til 1995! I would have guessed 92ish but no farther.

I associate LET THE BLAD RAN FREE! with the early days of UK Gold, where they ran a trail for it over and over again. That and THEN CHURCHILL SAID TO ME!, neither of which I ever actually watched.

The Pink Medicine Shows a good one too.Involved Pythinesque links to creaky old medical student revue material. Not
brave enough to show Lynda Bellingham completely getting her tits out, either.

I loved the opening titles and theme as a kid. A great opening gag from the first sketch. Not sure I'm going to watch any more beyond that though.

I was a bit fixated with Nichola McAuliffe's face at the time. She looked alien but so compelling.

That one with Josie Lawrence, and That bloke who had a role in "Scum", one of the unsympathetic staff

Not a tall thin slightly gormless-looking man with a moustache and dark hair?  Remember him in some 80s adverts, if it was.  If it was him in this show, and anyone knows his name, you can use imdb to fine out the show.

Surgical Spirit was always a "turn over immediately and do not return" kind of show for me. I don't think I've seen a full episode to this day.

Wasn't Let The Blood Run Free shown on late night Channel 4? I quite liked it, though it was very broad.

Then Churchill Said To Me is an interesting one because it was filmed in 1982, and then the Falklands War happened, which got it postponed... and then they never bothered broadcasting it until they dug it out for UK Gold in 1993, shortly after the channel had launched the previous year. That's an 11 year gap between production and broadcast, by which time Frankie Howerd had died. I also never actually watched it.

Other shows: Me, You, And Him had a cameo for Hugh Dennis's "Milky Milky" character, albeit played by a different actor with his back to the camera as Dennis himself was passing by in the foreground. (You knew it was the "Milky Milky" man, or Mr. Strange to give him his official name, as they'd dubbed Dennis saying that catchphrase over the soundtrack.)

Pookiesnackenburger - have only seen one episode of this, the heavy metal one - which is great. It's on Youtube. I did think that the very last joke in that one was a bit disappointingly crap, although that's only from a modern day perspective... for 1985(?) any kind of parody of that particular Stephen King movie adaption in a comedy show would have been quite a fresh idea.

Paris I kept meaning to watch (due to Alexei Sayle's starring role) but somehow I never caught it when it was on. And what with one of it's co-writers currently exterminating his own career on Twitter, I don't feel like searching it out right now.

Phil Kay Feels... - has that been mentioned? I think I watched every episode of it. I remember a spoof advert for salt (illustrating a three-second joke he had) and a strange visual gag about literally walking into the sunset at the very end of the series. He was grandly making his way to a mocked-up sunset at the back of the set as the audience applauded, and then he smilingly looked back at them, except his face was suddenly horribly sun-burnt.

Nightingales! Has someone mentioned that as well? That was great, inexplicably made by the same production company behind Birds Of A Feather. Nice theme tune sung by Robert Lindsay, too.

I'll rip your bleedin' arms off ! ( Have I got that right ? )

I believe it was "bloody" but otherwise that's the one.

I remember " Dear Heart", as mentioned by yer man Brundle-Fly. The first series combined the acting talent of Toyah Wilcox and Colin Jeavons. The second series featured Bob Goody. It was fucking terrible.

Sunnyside Farm

One of our very own top posters ( as in person who posts here, not a big picture of that lady playing tennis and showing her botty ) co-wrote that show, I do believe.

I'm not going to write the title of this show; instead I'll write the last words of dialogue spoken on the very last episode, which were also the very last words spoken onscreen by a top venerable actress, who carked it shortly afterwards: " frigging vikings ".
