TV shows I remember from my childhood
I had a list of kids shows that I recalled from my past that stretched to nearly 200 programmes, so I thought it would make more sense to have a separate list for the other stuff. From Poirot and Miss Marple to repeat showings of Randall & Hopkirk and The Avengers, these are the shows I watched during my childhood years from my first memories to my late teens.
