Hi gregsahorn,

Not sure what's happened to series 2 and 3 of Tenko. They screened series 1 twice in as many months but that's where they end the run.
Secret Army is enjoying a complete run of all 3 series at the moment for the 'second' time in a few months.
It may be something to do with copyright or something.
I guess we'll just have to keep an eye on the schedule!

I wonder if anyone at UKTVDrama can help.
As far as I know episode 11 ('Question Of Loyalty') of Secret Army was overlooked during the week.
Perhaps this was something to do with the content, I'm not sure. If it was simply a mistake will Drama screen this episode at a later date?

Thanks.
Ian.

The current run of Tenko ends on Monday Jan 15th. This means that once again, series 2 and 3 haven't been included.

As of Tuesday Jan 16th, Poldark has the 10am slot.

I'm only a viewer folks, nothing to do with UKTV.
It looks as if they've settled into a new weekday schedule so I can only hope that this means full runs of these series.

I remember back in 1984 sitting back on a Sunday evening watching Tenko and Just Good Friends. It's great they're back after all these years.

Deary me,
I posted this info last week. Seems nobody checks other relevant posts!

Just wondered if anyone at UKTVDrama can confirm if Just Good Friends will be screened in it's entirety including the rarely screened series 3 from 1986? Thanks.

According to the schedule, Secret Army and Tenko begin weekday screenings beginning on Tuesday January 2nd from 9am.

It seems Secret Army is being screened, again, from the very beginning (Folks might have noticed the first 6 episodes were screened in December as double episodes on Saturdays).
As regards Tenko, it's a bit unclear if it will continue with series 2 or return to the beginning!

Anyhow, hopefully we'll get a long run of both of these series.

Secret Army was originally transmitted:
Series 1 1977 16 episodes
Series 2 1978 13 episodes
Series 3 1979 13 episodes

Tenko was originally transmitted:
Series 1 1981 10 episodes
Series 2 1982 10 episodes
Series 3 1984 10 episodes
Reunion Special 1985

Didn't see it Kerry. Happy New Year (when it comes) too!

I think 'The Bill' returns in January...Hopefully!

Not sure what Beth's in next or if she's in Heartbeat next week. I only found out by chance. Loved her outfit in Heartbeat..the beret and jacket. She looked like Bonnie out of Bonnie and Clyde!!

I understand where you Peeps are coming from.
Drama showed all 10 episodes of the first series of "Tenko" and are now screening series 1 of "Secret Army"
As I said somewhere else, they'll probably go back and show series 2 of "Tenko" when they end series 1 of S.A.

To my knowledge, both shows have been screened (continually) in their entirety on previous occasions.

Who knows, they might move on to "Colditz" next!

Beth Cordingly makes an appearance playing a character called "Connie Green" in "Heartbeat" ( ITV1, 8pm, Sunday Dec 10th).

Series 2 of "Tenko" might get screened when they finish series 1 of "Secret Army" but I'd only be guessing.

Roll on Chrimbo Night!!

bookworm,

They might run series 2 of "Tenko" when they finish the first series of "Secret Army"

Hi Bookworm,

Series 1 of "Tenko" has just ended. The 10 episodes were screened as double episodes at 8am on Saturdays for the last 5 weeks and ended on December 2nd.
A re-run of "Secret Army" (Series 1) begins in the same slot from Saturday Dec 9th.

Hi Kerry,
Check this link for info on Beth.

Hi There,

I'm old enough to be a fan of the older Dr Who's, I was brought up with Tom Bakers Doctor.
I think the new series is great. Was sad that Christopher Eccleston was only there for 1 series though. David Tennant is doing a great job.

Sadly, as far as I know, the new series doesn't begin until around March but the Christmas Special should be on either Christmas Day or Boxing Day..or there abouts. Can't wait!

See Ya.

Hi thomasuno,

According to the schedule, Series 1 of "Secret Army" replaces "Tenko" (Saturday Dec 9th at 8am).

I know what you mean!!

Hi Garyo72,

Do you get BBC4?
Last night (27/11) at 7.10pm they screened the first 2 parts of "Ark In Space" as an omnibus. They seem to be having a 70's season so not sure if they're gonna be showing Doctor Who for any siginficant length of time. Fingers crossed!

Sat 02/12 The Sea Devils.
Sun 03/12 The Silurians.

Sun 03/12 0245 New Earth.
0330 Tooth and Claw.

Sat 09/12 The Green Death?!?! (Again)
Sun 10/12 The Sea Devils?!?! (Again)

Sun 10/12 0215 "Girl In The Fireplace".
0305 "Rise Of The Cybermen".

That's the schedule according to UKTV Gold. It makes little sense showing stories that were shown a week earlier!!

Hi There,

Does anyone have any info of UKGold showing Hartnell or Troughton stories during the current run?

I love Pertwee but we have seen them several times before. It's a funny running order..Wonder why?
Wasn't the Daemons in black and white!!. They've already screened it in colour before so that's another mystery!

I think the planner had 1 too many when this schedule was created.

I'd love Hartnell episodes from the start. It wouldn't take that long to screen. They could get through the Troughton era in a week as there are so few remaining!!
My stories from that era were chewed up by the video so badly need a re-run.

Hav fun.

Ian.
