Buy Some Class TV on DVD

 Class TV
Hello and welcome to Class TV. The site is new, so
there is not a lot here at the moment, but keep checking back.
Class TV is intended to be a somewhat nostalgic site that remembers
what television used to be like in the days when there was no CGI and
the special effects were not that special, but the programmes were. In
their day they were in a class of their own and they still
are. A
class act, never to be forgotten by those who knew and loved them --
Class TV.
As the site grows the programmes that you will find listed here will be
from the 1970s through to the 1990s. It is a period of TV that I
remember well and am very comfortable with, in fact I often think back
to all of the great programmes that I used to watch when I was younger
and I miss them. The great thing is that I am obviously not the only
one who feels this way because a lot of the old series are now
available to buy on DVD, which makes it a lot easier for people to
revisit all of their favourite programmes from yesteryear. And the fact
that so many of the old programmes are out on DVD proves that they have
been missed and are still popular because if there was no market for
them nobody would waste their time and money on producing any DVDs.
But what sort of programmes am I talking about? Well… there
are
so many. Things like the great seventies comedy series Some
Mother’s Do ‘Ave ‘Em (remember Frank
Spencer? The man
in the beret who was a bona fide walking disaster zone). Or what about
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy? A show where Sci-fi met
comedy head on. Years later Sci-fi and comedy would meet again in Rob
Grant and Doug Naylor’s Red Dwarf and what a class act those
boys
from the dwarf were. I’ve just named three series that will
probably find their way onto the site sooner rather than later, but the
list of great programmes that are too good to be forgotten is so long
that it would probably take me a lifetime to watch them again and then
document them on the site, but think Upstairs Downstairs, Randall and
Hopkirk, The Tomorrow People, Butterflies, Porridge and Open all Hours.
Maybe not all of those will make it onto the site, but then again they
just might.
This site will take some time to construct and it will be an ongoing
process, so stay a while, have a look around, and check back later if
you don’t find what you want.
