Golden Oldies
I was surfing around on the net when I stumbled on to this site. Its got many of the shows I loved as a kid. Its what passed for adventure back then. This is stuff like Robinhood, Sir Lancelot, Ivanhoe and William Tell to name a few. Most of them hae viedoe clips. Remember some of these are from the mid 50s. You wont se them very often. I wonder if anyone here will recognise any of them. I know almost all of them.

Re: Golden Oldies
I've seen the majority of these, mostly from my grandparents. Ahh...the times spent at the couch, my grandmother bringing me drinks and my grandfather and I sitting back and watching these movies. The ones I am familiar with are:
William Tell
Long John Silver
Francis Drake
Scarlet Pimpernel
Ivanhoe
Sir Lancelot
Robin Hood
Buccaneers
Count of Monte Cristo
the others I'm quite unfamiliar with, probably because my grandparents didn't posess them on VHS or anything like that.

Re: Golden Oldies
It really upsets me that none of these shows are on TV now. You would think one of the oldie networks would show some of them.

Thanks for the link
It certainly brings back memories for me.
They were tv programs when I had just left school.
They dont make programs like that today.

Re: Golden Oldies
Ahh, are these the mythical television shows where the characters actually get along with one another? Nifty.
In today's shows everyone is always violently arguing and the main characters all hate each other.
