A lot of the ones I would have said have been mentioned particular favourites being Black Adder, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Steptoe and Son and the Sweeney.
One that did spring to mind that I remember liking, was Boys from the Blackstuff, been mentioned on previous similar threads but I haven't noticed it on this one.

With all the channels these days, even free to air, a lot of these at some point or another seem to be on, particularly on daytime tv.

I do recall Auf Wiedersehen Pet getting a re-run in the evenings, but I only caught the later ones, that they did a while after the originals.
I don't know if they showed them from the very beginning, but I'd love to see the first few series again, keep meaning to get the box set of those.

Grist - re Popeye:

I’d only want the pre 1960 series before the made-for-TV version came out. These were the Paramount Pictures cartoons from the 40s and 50s that were originally shown in US cinemas and migrated to ITV in the UK - I think on children’s TV on Wednesday. Much better animation than the later versions which were made with much lower budgets. Bluto became Brutus for the initial post 1960 runs but apparently changed back later.

I can still happily watch these early era ones they’re so good.

Same with early Tom and Jerry.

Early Popeye cartoons were brilliant, they had some cartoon men in it, that looks like your second toe on your foot, so me & the wife have always called these shape toes, Popeye toes.
I took my sons to see Robin Williams Popeye film when it came out at the pictures, its been on tele a few times.
When at junior school, one of mates was the first to get a tele, a gang of us when to his house & watched, William Boyd has Hopalong Cassidy, & his horse Topper.
My parents got a tele. it was in our house, when I came home from school, first programme, I watched Muriel Young on tea time TV, I loved Rin Tin Tin, Cisco Kid etc.
One of the best programmes was Wheel Tappers & Shunters Club, Colin Crompton was brilliant.
