Another great nostalgic selection. Multiple votes again - although many more could have got chosen too. Fawlty Towers definitely tops for me. I could practically recite all 12 episodes - not surprising, as I must have seen them around a hundred times over the last four decades and still laugh out loud. Great drama with I Claudius (or I Clav Divs as I like to call it!), Colditz, Tinker...., etc which I've watched repeatedly. However, it was a great time for classic UK Sci-Fi (shaky props and all) and Blakes 7, UFO, Space 1999, The Tomorrow People and Dr Who most notable.

However. I have a lot of time for a children's Sci-Fi/Fantasy series called Children of the Stones - which had real atmosphere and mirrored my interest in stone circles etc at the time. Saw it again a year or two ago and it has aged really well and shows a maturity for a children's series that doesn't seem to exist these days, sadly.

Never really watched A Family at War (my parents did though), but Vaughan Williams's theme remains a very powerful memory.

No Oneden Line or Poldark, though. Sunday night highlights before school in the morning (wistful 'Alan Partridge--style' sigh follows!)

For sure.   Sometimes I wish it had gone on a bit longer, on the other hand each episode is so good one wonders if they could've sustained that quality, but I'm guessing Cleese and Booth would've done a great third season.

I'd add the original Odd Couple with Randall & Klugman.

Doctor Who repeats from the 60s poll, but I feel that it bears repeating. It was in the 70s that I first saw Doctor Who. Others that ran from the 60s into the 70s I won't mention a second time. This is sci-fi heavy as I was a sci-fi kid.
