Default Looking For Old Tv Programmes

Has anyone ever tried looking for old tv shows or programmes they watched as a kid or teen , but failed trying to find them?? . There was a few on cbbc i think but i don't remember the name of the tv shows , i think 2 were in a warehouse or youth club ( and i don't mean Byker Grove). It's annoying as i don't know what they were called.

Other tv programmes were on Learning Zone when they did some short films mixed together, but again i don't remember the name of the titles, and it's really bugging me . One had Gus from Eastenders in (Mohammed George ) , but weirdly his IMDB hasn't got it listed...... he was probably only a teenager when he was in it . As it was one of these coming of age type films.

I guess without knowing the titles of these shows i'm screwed , as it's impossible lol .

Best thing to do is to search for the programs or keywords you remember in YouTube then follow all the links / suggested programs at the right hand side.

Prepare to lose hours of your life each time though

You're right about losing hours of my life lol . I saw a wiki page of a list of alphabetical programmes.... and i instantly thought there's no way i'm going through all that. Plus it doesn't help that i don't remember the names of any of these tv shows/ films etc .

That’s the beauty of YouTube .. you can see all the programs that were popular at the time of the program you initially searched for

Works for forgotten songs and bands etc

I already tried searching youtube but i'll try again.

No it wasn't Dragon's eye or Renford Rejects..... this was a one off drama. but there was a bit of football in it but that wasn't the main theme, it was about a young couple that started dating. And they had the old nokia phones as it was filmed in like early 00's or something.

Just keep searching for as many programs that you DO recall from that time of your life and you will come across loads of programs that you had completely forgotten about - YouTube is like a spider’s web

There was a TV show I can only remember snatches of, I was pretty young ...

It had two wolves, Muppet-like puppets. The intro had cartoon wolf eyes?

I think the CBBC ones might be late 90s - early 00s

But the other ones are early 00s I think.

Like I said it's probably impossible without the titles of the individual programs ,I have no idea what they were called. All I know is some of them were part of the learning zone series , it was a collection of short films.
