I have been approached by a highly placed executive in the TV industry to see whether there would be any interest in reruns of Howard's Way.

What is the panels view.

Yes if Avril is in the rerun/repeat.
CBT

Is it better than the current crãp!??

I view of the unmitigated crãp currently on tv , it might make a change from the abysmal reality tv dross !

I was too young the first time round - I understand it has a bit of a cult following in the same way there were fans of Crossroads Motels wobbly sets. I would looooove to watch it!

I seem to recall a joke at the time:

Q What's the difference between a Morris Traveler and the acting in Howard's Way?
A A Morris Traveler is only half wooden!

 

[Lakesailor]

You will learn quite a bit about being a cool-dude by watching Ken.

 

[Lakesailor]

I would watch it again just to see if I can work out how Tom talked with his chin.

This blog sums it up http://legatuswargamesarmies.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/howards-way.html

 

[Richard10002]

I never missed an episode of the original dont know if i would watch a rerun though

+1 Watched the whole series avidly, but would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch it again.

I thought it was rerun not so long ago?

Might be a bit of a welcome economic boost for The Elephant, The JollySailor, British boatbuilding instead of Eurobuilds?
The Sadler 45 was pretty good, Shame about the actual execution of the concept..

Wasn't H-Way also known as Howard gets his end away?

 

[Richard Shead]

It will bring back bad memories of the weekend nearly over and having to hit the sack in preparation for school the next day..second only to the money programme, that theme tune still haunts me.

 

[Blueboatman]

And the gradual acceptance that Money Progs Valerie Singleton was ' unavailable'

 

[LadyInBed]

I remember it well

Blimey, you must be young. Valerie Singleton WAS Blue Peter for my generation!

 

[billmacfarlane]

To coin a certain tennis player "THEY CAN'T BE SERIOUS". I watched the first series, I think on a Sunday night. Woeful acting, ridiculous plots, theme tune you couldn't shake off. Typical soap really, so it might catch on judging by modern soap standards. Let's hope not.

Steady on. Michael E Briant of these forums directed some episodes. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0108465/

"he gave his first professional performance as an elf " . Wonderful.

'Fraid Blue Peter was in black n white but I had a colour telly by the time of The Money Prog..
So not soo young!
As a kid I met her on the stairs at bbc shepherds bush, me first real star. Said hello n all

I'd prefer a re-run of the Onedin Line, might as well have a real seafaring soap!

 

[stevebrassett]

For a boat-based series on the East Coast, how about Triangle?

 

[viago]

a re-run of ken masters' chest wig and medallions is more than i could take.
