    Others I enjoyed included:
    Dynasty
    the mini series such as The Thorn Birds, Mistral's Daughter, A Woman of Substance
    The Young Ones
    Saturday Night Live
    Press Gang
    That's Life
    Sapphire and Steele
    The Kenny Everett Video Show
    Top of the Pops
    The Tube
    The Old Grey Whistle Test
    Brookside
    Neighbours

    I'm sure there's loads of others that I can't think of at the moment too.

    With you on the Why Don't You and Jasper Carrot front. What about Young Doctors, Flying Doctors, Sons and Daughters? The Aussie soaps rocked in the 80's. My mum and nan also liked The Sullivans and A Country Practice. And Cell Block H of course, who didn't like that?

    I would've got to them eventually:D:D

    I used to watch all of those! And Neighbours when Kylie was in it. And I watched Dynasty and The Colbys, but not Dallas. I think I watched too much tv in the 80's:eek:

    Just thought of another four. Lives and Loves of a She-Devil, Brush Strokes, No Place Like Home and Mother Love.
