It is about some people that go to various old houses and a medium scares the poop out of Yvette Feilding. If it is a scam, then its a very good one as they into their tenth season.

I would really like to see Mork and Mindy again!! Also The Kenny Everett Show and The Goodies.

I'm a TV addict so I could never choose just one.

OOOOh I forgot Space 1999, I wanted to be Miya, the girl that could change into other creatures.

I know a couple of people that were in Space 1999...i think...I better ask my mum.

True, but the comedy value of some of the tricks they do is amazing.
Only on TV can you put a sample into a mass spectrometer and get an infrared spectrum from it accompanied by the name and address of the manufacturer.
Also, have you noticed the machines are practically always in good working order and nobody ever screws a sample up (unless that's vital to the "plot").

Definitely "Have I Got News for You" That's in it's 36th season and it gets funnier each time, I think.

Sometimes the weather forecasts can be amusing.

Also Mythbusters is worth watching if you have Discovery Channel. Good fun science, even if it is silly at times. And big explosions!

Football (soccer to our US friends), MOTD

SciFi: Stargate Universe (not the other Stargate series which were poor (IMHO))
Battlestar Galactica (Fairly recent series not the old rubbish)

Drama: Currently "Wallander" (Swedish with subtitles - not the british version)

Science documentaries: None at all - they are all quite poor (though I still watch them)

History: Many quite good but variable, on BBC and channel 4

Wildlife: David Attenborough stuff still good

Politics: This Week, Question Time, The Politics Show.

Comedy: Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You
