Eastenders. Never had any interest i it so only heard it when my parents watched it. Then they also stopped watching in my late teens so it stopped being an almost daily occurrence right as I was leaving school!
“What’ll I doooo when yooou are faaaar away?
And skies are blue, what’ll I do?”
Birds of a Feather.
We weren’t allowed to watch telly on a Sunday.
There’ll be time to do the homework later, though. There’s a Morse or Taggart on, so Mum’ll be dominating the TV. A minimum of 2 straight hours of regional murder during which *she will not be disturbed*.
Bullseye 🎯
Words cannot express how much I hate the heartbeat theme. Also I used to deliver up around Goathland and Grosmont (where it was filmed) and the production team were forever swanning around behaving like absolute throbbers thinking they owned the place.
That’s Life. The ultimate Sunday blues theme tune.
Bullseye and Catchphrase were the harbingers of doom for me. If I hadn’t been for a bath before Dempsey and Makepeace came on then there was definitely trouble ahead
It’s the drum beat of “Time Team” or the “Soldier Soldier” theme for me.
I use to watch Corrie when it aired on a Sunday but I watched it every other day so it doesn’t specifically remind me of Sundays.
Would have to be Heartbeat.
The Bill and Red Dwarf.
My mum worked at a youth centre on a Thursday night so we got to stay up and watch The Bill then on Friday I would commandeer the living room TV for Red Dwarf.
My dad used to walk us all down to the offy at about 6 and we would pick 4 chocolate bars between 3 of us and he would chop them up into bowls and he’d sit in the kitchen with 10 silk cut and 2x tins of special brew 😂
In South Africa it was “Boy meets World”
Definitely the archers, my mum would listen to it everyday, then the omnibus on a Sunday… Kill me now.
Top gear
Same with Heartbeat. Jesus, that was such a depressing show and it still brings that cold shiver of knowing I have school tomorrow.
Heartbeat too. Gives me palpitations about it being nearly bed time and the last stop before going back to school
Not Sunday, but the Magic Roundabout always ended with that utter bellend Zebedee saying “Time for bed” and me having to comply.
55 years later and I still hold a grudge against him! 🦖😁
The Bill
In Ireland it was glenroe
Songs of Praise = Sexy time
Top Gear and Dr who
Monarch of the Glen being the very last thing my mum would watch on TV before she sent me to bed each Sunday night is the reason highland jigs make me panic to this day
The African vocals of the *Wild At Heart* theme
I watched all of Only Fools & Horses with my dad. Glad to say I watched them all with my kids.
See, now I’m filled with dread and fear.
Weekend world 70s, so good I bought the album.
Mountain – nantucket sleighride, the great Leslie West.
Uh oh, mine’s the Jim’ll Fix It theme.
Even as a middle aged man, when I hear the theme tune to Heartbeat on the tv, I get a sense of dread that I’ve got school in the morning.
Have you ever, ever felt like this? Have strange things happened, Are you going round the twist?
That’s Life. In the week, Panorama meant bedtime.
The 60s/70s Bond soundtracks, dad had the uncanny ability to always find one playing
Think I’ve seen the Man With the Golden Gun and Live and Let Die about four hundred times
I don’t wannnna wait
One Man and Bis Dog. Quality Sunday TV!
Not quite Saturday night viewing, but the Fresh Prince theme tune is fully ingrained into my memory
Poirot. Followed by bath time.
Antiques Roadshow still fills me with a sense of dread
Horrible Histories
The casualty theme
Keeping Up Appearances.. weirds me out but Miss Bucket is a stern memory.
