For a brief period at the end of the 80s, ITV and C4 were experimenting with all night telly.
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. |

I watched the Prisoner for the first time back in the 80's when it was shown on Channel Four, taped it, loved it and understood it.
One show that had me totally baffled was Sapphire and Steel... |
