Return to Eden,
The ThornBirds,
the one set in the deep south with 'big' hair - was it Pelican Road,
Dallas of course Poldark,
Upstairs/Downstairs,
more Australian ones with a very young Nicole in about being in prison Bangkok Hilton, and another about a family in the 2nd world war [think Nicole was in that one too which had a fantastic 'classical' intro music that haunts me to this day].......
what great entertainment and as someone said..sooo much better than the rubbish these days [I am beginning to sound like my mother so will give up now..]
