"Without a bang" TV show? - Page 2

Ah well, at least that's solved then.

Wish I'd seen Not With a Bang - sounds quite fun.

Don't remember Knights of God - another interesting sounding one.

Note to self - must watch more TV.

Like that's possible.

Hmm, I read the IMDB link the good doctor posted ... sounds like a good idea, but whether it was actually fun beyond the first 10 minutes is doubtful. Aah well, that's to be expected from ITV 'comedy', it's never been their strong suit.

I never saw Knights of God first time round, but I've seen a couple of episodes on video. It would have been absolutely at home in an early-evening Dr Who-ish kids' slot some time in the 1970s, were it not for the fact it was actually made in the late 80s (pleasantly surprised at that, I had no idea it was comparitively recent until I looked it up just now at the IMDB: http://imdb.com/title/tt0161158/ ). It was quite good, actually.

Sorry to hijack your thread Caspar... But there has been a program i've been trying to think of. I considered starting a thread for it, but didn't know wether it was worth it or to join this one. I'll dump it here and let you decide.

Here it is:

It was on when I was very young, so i'm guessing mid 80s. It featured a kid who had a magic t-shirt with a picture of a tiger's face on it. (T-shirt was white, tiger was in black print). Anyway, when the kid got angry or upset, or something, the tiger came alive and growled, and the kid got super human strength. It had quite an effect on me, but i've forgot the name of it/who was in it or anything.

Anyone have any ideas?

Aah, the Children's Film Foundation, I believe. The film you're thinking of is Sammy's Super T-Shirt. Thanks to you, the irritating theme tune will rattle round my head for the rest of the evening.

I`ll admit, this one took a bit of research.

np, we had a film club at our primary school that used to show a CFF film every month. That one came round more than once.
