Friends
Now it seems commonplace to have an entire show all about a random group of friends in a city somewhere but when Friends was first put together it was fairly pioneer. The greatness of this show were the characters, who we fell for and stuck to for years.

This of course launched the careers of the likes of Matt Leblanc, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox, the latter recently has turned her current acting talent to music. Not for the first time. Of course, another member of the sitcom sadly passed away.

That was an American sitcom set at a bar in Boston I believe, obviously, many,many years ago. It did shhow in the United Kingdom, Channel 4 I think 1980s and 90s. There was a theme tune as well.

C.S.I.
The original version (Las Vegas) was so genius, particularly the first few years. The science of this field was unknown to most viewers before the show was done, and now every American thinks they are a forensics expert!

Woof
ITV/Central Television/Carlton children's drama series about a boy who turns into a dog. The final series ended in 1997 so the Central cake like logo at the end of credits was still there despite the Carlton takeover since 1994-95.

Insight
Australian programme with a wide range of subjects, discussion wide. In 2013, a programme was made about when women fight or 'Violent Femmes', named after a band. It was an eyeopener to me when I tuned in, listening to all sides as well as the usual perpetrator/victim stories. Thirteen years on, I would imagine that female violence has increased even more for many reasons be it boredom, media or something else, same with men.

Survival of the fittest, bystander behaviour (individuals outside of a circle for example who film fights as entertainment rather than using it as evidence), is it possible you can kill somebody. The last bit of the statement, I thought, now we are rolling, now we are getting into the heart of the topic from minor injuries like a bruised cut to the extreme such as kicks to the head or brain damage. Recovery back to full status can take months let alone years.

All sides in my terms meaning contributions from social services, police officer (Well done to him for telling it as it is in all the years he had worked for and the changes he has seen because if he reacted badly to a situation, he would have been sacked from his role), education and emergency services, the latter deals with everyday individuals being injured aftter a fight, one on one or part of a group.

This was a sitcom from late 1990s/early 2000s and starred Gwen Taylor as the title character. Carlton Television/Central made the programme.

Flipper
This showed us the relationship between a boy and a dolphin. That animals like dolphins were intelligent and respected. It also was done through the every day life of a family. The producers did not try to make it into a fantasy, which gave young viewers like me of the 60’s a different side of life. I adored that show.

Matlock
The wry comedy of this crotchety, old, smarter-than-you-thought detective was classic. I loved watchin Ben surprise people with his smarts.
