So far we have delved into the world of Desert Island Records.
We now turn to your favourite Desert (Lockdown) Island TV Programmes!
Desert Island Discs is good, but I want more. Eight records is good, and with a few books and a luxury item, we should all be OK for a while.
Then what?
Here are my TV Programmes. Your favourite is the top one in your list.
And, for good measure, you can choose a series (as I have done in most instances) as well as single programmes.
*Shock of the New, Robert Hughes
Pride and Prejudice, Andrew Davies
The Singing Detective, Dennis Potter
The Ascent of Man, Jacob Bronowski
First Dates, Channel 4
Riverdance:The Show, John McColgan
Star Trek Voyager, Berman et al
Ashes to Ashes, BBC
What do you want to take with you into Lockdown Island?

I don’t think I have the patience to watch TV much anymore, too many hobbies
I just watch live sport, when I say watch, unless it’s Leeds United or England Rugby or a football match with real jeopardy, I just have it on in the background with the radio commentary while I fiddle with numerous hobbies and projects
If I was on desert island marooned with a TV and TV series boxed sets, I’d probably go for
Curb your Enthusiasm
Blackadder
Early Doors
Father Ted
2008 XXVII Platform, Bugatti Blue Roadster 4 Seater
