Let's see how long it takes us to complete this classic 80s TV theme tune line by line. Line 1:
'Love is very strange, it can come and go...'

'It can happen when you are young or old'

Correct!
'We will find out our Sons and Daughters are what, we too, were once about...'

Paint the whole world with a Rainbow!
Who was your fave? I liked George.

Do you think George was gay, or just in touch with his feminine side?
And why did Bungle walk around naked all day but wear pyjamas at night?

I bought a Kidszkultz dvd for my two boys. It has rainbow on it. Bungle had a chane of actor in the nineties but still came across as gay.
Zippy would get an ASBO nowadays.

I used to work weekends before my children were born. Therefore, I would have two afternoons off a week. I would flop down in front of the TV and try to make sense of the complicated relationships in Sons and Daughters. In the end I gave up.
There were some really ancient programmes from Australia on in those days. Strangest of all was The Young Doctors. The acting was chronic and the theme tune tape was so old it used to sound like a bad school orchestra. The best was A Country Practice with a lovely middle-aged receptionist married to the lovely middle-aged local policemen with lovely doctors who would visit at home even if you only had a headache. However, I stopped watchin it when they killed off my favourite character, Molly, who was beautiful and gifted and popular.
What ever happened to Take The High Road? Paulham??

What in anyone's name would possess you to watch such puerile drivel!?

OK, point taken. I am a Londoner but not a cockney. I haven't lived in London for 16 years though. I don't think there were as many stereotyped Scottish characters in High Road as there are in EastEnders. At least High Road was nice and gentle and not nearly as miserable as EE.

High Road (They dropped the 'Take the...' a few years ago to make it more hip) is sadly no more. Axed in 2000. It's a shame because no matter what Paulham may say , the later years were very good. You'd never see Eastenders do anything as brave as showing a woman having to go through labour knowing her baby was dead.
I wonder what poor old Mrs Mack does with herself these days?

Sounds a real cheerful programme.
Yes, just the sort of thing we need of an evening to take us away from our humdrum lives!
Post by: smurfboy on June 06, 2005, 03:34:50 pm
It had cheerful moments too! I just mentioned that because it was a very powerful storyline.

I am a 50s child too. But only just.
I remember the 80s programmes mentioned above. By comparison, when Neighbours started, it seemed a premium programme! I got sick of everyone moving round the street like musical houses. People just decided to move in with a neighbour and that was that. A couple of weeks later - they were moving in with someone else. Like Eastenders. The houses are elastic.
Give me a Dennis Potter play anyday.
