Angel's 
Ever-Growing  
To-Watch List!

 

Welcome to my ever-growing to-watch list of retro TV shows that I cannot wait to get stuck into!

 

As a retro enthusiast, I'm constantly discovering hidden gems from

the past that I either need to revisit or experience for the first time

ever. With so many shows and so little time - not to mention so little

memory to remember it all (I am kind of vintage myself!) this page

acts as my own personal reminder and also acts as a source of

inspiration for all you retro TV enthusiasts out there. You'll see from

this list that my viewing taste is kind of eclectic - a lot like my taste in

music, books and fashion... Pretty much everything! So hopefully you'll

find something that you would enjoy watching. After completing each

series, my goal is then to review it - in which case it will then be

removed from this list - so that the Nostalgia Pie nostalgiacs can really

decide if they want to add it to their very own to-watch list. 

​

Links have been included wherever possible but remember uploads may not always last forever - as we've found out to our great disappointment! So we've included them in good faith, both here and in our YouTube to-watch list. But if they get taken down or they're not able to be viewed in the country you're in etc. there's not a great deal we can do about that. Except hope it doesn't happen! If there's a show that you think should be added to list list, let us know via the contact form. 

 

Happy viewing! ​
