Does anyone remember a series called Morgan's Boy?

It means nothing to me.

Me and a mate wrote a letter to the Beeb in the 80s asking if it would be repeated and we actually got a letter back. Days before emails
Hadn't checked for many years but I see it is all uploaded on youtube now. (Guy from Blake7 was in it)
Probably a pile of shite but we found it hilarious at the time.

19th April 1980 on ITV. Tales of the Unexpected, I have seen that ep. Followed by Pro-Celebrity Darts. Now we're talking.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Westward being cunts and showing pro celebrity snooker instead. People from Devon hate darts, famously.

[Smithy1412]

There's darts leagues in most Devon towns with more than 15,000 people. Additionally, many Devon pubs show darts when it's on TV. Various pro and ex pro darts players have been from Devon

Well yes, I wasnt being entirely serious mate.

'BJ and the Bear' is also concerning.

A bit of 23rd July 1988 for Randy. Our hero (not Barrymore) in a plum Saturday night slot on BBC1.

Also the cover of that edition of the RT. Making fun of a speech impediment, there, tut tut.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Never realised Barrymore was on the BBC, you learn something every day. Sadly missed on TV screens.

[Deadshot]

These, or the car and club football ones at least are still available on ebay, sealed for absolutely pennies.

For some reason I am reminded of the Pacific island that put a load of darts players on coins. I recall Darryl Fitton was one of them.

Oh yes. I think the Big Throbbo one is in the picture dump thread.

Tuesday 20th April 1976. ITV.

Skippy is back. Columbo is on ITV this time. It's the BDO darts of detective shows, everyone has shown it.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Imagine if they showed cartoons on ITV at 7.30pm now. Would be a bit odd.

[Rogg]

It would a bit.

Easter Monday 1987, followed by a 2-page spread about the snooker.

20th April 1986. A Sunday afternoon of sport on ITV.
