Prisoner Cell Block H back in the late 80s/early-mid 90s, and now got them on DVD 
I liked all those imported American Western serials we saw in Africa in the 1960s. I don’t know which ones came to UK.
And so did our two large dogs.
The neighbours two big feisty cats had an agreement with our dogs: they simply didn’t go on each other’s property, ever, for very real risk of bloodshed.
However when we were feeding the cats for a fortnight while the neighbours were away on holiday, both cats appeared at our French doors for the first time ever, and tapped to be let in. Rawhide was about to come up on the TV.
I expected the dogs to react and shout the house down, but no. So I asked them “Do I let the cats in?”
Our youngest dog gave me a long suffering look, wearily got up, tapped the door and lay down again.
I let the cats in, who sat one on each arm of the sofa and we all watched Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) in Rawhide. They waited patiently through the ads, and when its end-titles finished they asked to be let out again.
That was 8pm on a Tuesday. On Thursday the other Western serial appeared (I forget which. Virginian? Wagon Train? Bonanza? High Chaparral?), as did the cats, who simply looked at me; our dogs did not stir a muscle, eyes on the (back then) new black and white TV. I let the cats in.
Same next week.
Normal cat vs dog hostilities resumed when the neighbours returned. When I took back the left over cat food I asked the family’s mother if she knew why cats and dogs were so much interested in Westerns that they were prepared to compromise and share our TV.
She suggested. “These are city animals, but look at the Westerns, all those horses and cattle in open country, it’s the sort of thing they dream about!”
“And knowing the right day and time?”
“They have ears. It’s always the same programs before the westerns.”
“How did they agree on a truce?”
“Maybe they’re smarter than we think.”
I may have only been fourteen, but those cats and our dogs left a lasting impression on me.
If you like that, you should give Wentworth a try, same sorta thing, but more modern version

It’s on Channel 5 streaming as well.
Dad’s Army
I can’t believe no one has mentioned Blue Peter or Dr Who (Jon Pertwee was my favorite)
Yes, I didn’t mind the first two series, but after that I didn’t like it. Ferguson became just like a panto villan, with more and more silly things all the time.
In 2017, I actually went of a 3 week holiday to Melbourne and went to loads of Cell Block H location spots. With the power of the internet where many an outside scene occurred is known (I found some myself!). I had the eye of the tiger as I was re-watching the entire series via DVD after not seeing it since about 1996, when it finished in the TV region hwere I lived.
Chap in our office was married to the producer of Rainbow way back towards the end of the seventies. Judging by the state of him on Monday mornings they had some rollicking good parties at the weekends.
NOT the nine o’clock news.
The Flintstones
Lost in Space
Casey Jones
Cannonball

We didn’t have a tv when I was a youngster…!
The sullivans and prisoner cell block H gotta love a Aussie drama …. They even shared cast
Alias Smith & Jones, the western, not the comedy duo.
Marine boy. Wow that was so far ahead for us in the UK. It was like some kind of precursor for manga film.
