What was that spy type programme with 2 blokes and a woman that had some sort of minor superpowers (nothing like marvel superheroes )?
Was about the same era as the new avengers and the Persuaders. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Dammit, I can picture him, where's the name? |
I don't know why, but this made me think of Hart to Hart, which is much later and WAY beyond my real nostalgia telly era, and I could only think of Robert Wagner ...
aka ... Alexander Mundy in It takes a Thief.

Long before I noticed Tony Curtis as Lord Brett, Roger Moore as The Saint or 007, David Niven as Raffles, none could match Robert Wagner who was floating my boat as Alexander Mundy when I was 7 years old
Plus, now with the added mystery of ... did he do his wife in, on their yacht at Santa Catalina in 1981? ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Could've sworn Airplane was after Police Squad..but yes, you're right, it wasn't. Still find it hard to believe, tbh.
Used to love Sledgehammer, don't think it's been mentioned yet...similar tongue in cheek style as Police Squad, but not quite as good. There was a sci-fi British series where everyone went mental and destroyed all technology, but can't remember the name. ____________________ A Guide To Powerbands |

If it was early 70's, probably "The Changes"
There was a late 90's series with a similar premise, "Invasion: Earth" ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Network#Early_experiments
TVS started something called Late Night Late and I used to like watching that.
The wikipedia article is a bit feeble, as it doesn't list content, but it all seemed a bit surreal at the time. In the small hours Prisoner Cell Block H , followed by Captain Scarlet, and then some obscure movie I'd never seen, and then Get Stuffed which was a weird cooking show, and some really out there music show.
It was all linked together by an anchor, who had bags under their eyes drawn on by makeup. |
There was a metal/grunge show called Raw Power then Noisy Mothers I used to record as it was hard to see those videos and bands in the early 90s.
The times it was on varied and you often caught some weird program before or after.
There was one in particular they had a big US-style truck but in the back was a high tech crime fighting laboratory. Or something ... I never saw enough to understand it. |
