Specifically big and little screens.
Due to another thread it got me thinking. As a kid who grew up in Australia you may be aware due to cultural and financial deficiencies we basically poached a lot of British tv. All the stuff that wouldn't otherwise be found outside the blessed little island nation that would brutally enslave so much of the world.
So given I am feeling particularly nostalgia-ridden for all those re-re-re-runs that dominated our antipodean televisions in gloriously superior PAL 4:3, I'm reaching out to our former gaolers on the otherside of the world and asking for what was your favourite bit of (near) Thatcherite contemporary culture?
Specifically from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that I might be able to locate and queue up for some watching.
Nothing too mainstream that I've likely already seen, ala The Young Ones, Fawlty Towers, and my personal favourite ... Dad's Army.
Kind of give a shoutout with a loose blurb about why you think it tickles your mental fancies.
Also kind of open to fellow Australians or New Zealanders (or anybody in particular) also exposed to the rampant cultural colonialism that we secretly liked but publicly despised like the masochists that we are.
