The Monkees TV show - calling on Brits who remember it...
EDITED TO MAKE THE POINT CLEAR - AM LOOKING FOR UK TRANSMISSION DATES
Right, who remembers reruns of the Monkees TV show being on TV in Britain at some time in the late 1970s / early 1980s?
I am NOT, that is ***NOT*** talking about the big ol' Monkees rerun that MTV did in 1986. I'm talking late 1970s / early 1980s. I remember the Monkees being on TV, and I would have been very young, like 4 years old, maybe 5 or 6 years old, most emphatically not 11 years old (besides, you could only get MTV on satellite TV, and nobody I knew had satellite until 87, and they were like WELL EARLY ADOPTERS INNIT.)
I've attempted to, y'know, Look This Up On The Internet, but the results have been a blanket of fail. So. Anyone remember when it was on?
I'm asking this because in our house we are having a Monkees retrospective (and I have to say it's bloomin' brilliant). It's brought back memories of seeing the show on TV when I was a very small child. I'm very familiar with the opening credits and a few of the shows themselves have seemed a little bit familiar. I would have been too young to really "get" the show the first time, but I do remember general impressions of japes, scooters, dressing up, that kind of Monkee malarkey.
Incidentally, my favourite Monkee is Michael Nesmith.
