TV Series - What Are You Watching?

Dug out my box set of UFO over the weekend. Already six episodes through. Absolutely superb TV and it's nearly 50 years old. Wish I still had some of the models I had from the series as a kid.
 
I was watching 'As time goes by'. Mon-Fri. Drama Ch 20
Last Friday was ep 1 of series 8 (of 9).
Monday should have been ep 2
Instead, 4 hrs 40mins of 'Call the midwife' throughout the day.

Why start a new series (8) if you were about to cancel the show?
After searching for any future episodes of ATGB, results show no future episodes planned. :mad:

And they've moved Lovejoy.
I know, I'm old
 
Watching Sunderland til I Die on Netflix.

No way the club would have allowed the cameras in if they knew they'd have the season they did. Fascinating insight.

This is being shown on Forces TV. Looks like it does a round and around because I just finished watching what I too to be the last series (which I did not see originally) now the series link is picking up the first series.

Made me smile when I saw the same actors playing multiple rolls in the last series.

There was only one series made with 26 episodes. There was a break in filming so the final nine episodes were made about four months later so some of the actors were not available (George Sewell, Peter Gordeno). Benedict Cumberbatch's mum returns as Wanda Ventham, the No.2 in SHADO in those episodes.

The second series was commissioned and was in pre-production when it was postponed and eventually became Space 1999.

Space 1999 was a 'must watch' series for me.
