Remember black & white?

[Scobalob]

I've had it in the back of my mind for years that when I was a little lad in short trousers I saw a b/w tv drama series on our 9inch Bush called 'R3'.  I think it stood for Research Station 3.  I can't remember if it was BBC or ITV althought I'd guess it was BBC as I seem to recall we didn't have the add-on plunger channel change on the back of the set.   I've looked at the specialised web sites and have drawn a blank.  Was there such a series or have I reached old-age early?

Thanks.

both good places to start for old/forgotten/cult TV. They also organise screenings of classic TV, the next event is next month ( somewhere around the Midlands I think ).
