I actually watched the episode where the dead Bobby Ewing came out of the shower, largely because it was such an impressively mad thing for a soap to do.
Also, I only learned the other day that Man From Atlantis only ran for one series. It felt like it was a permanent fixture, but no, a mere bubble in Patrick Duffy’s career
I remember that TV in thief lane being on all the time. But I can't actually remember anything we watched. That's precisely because it was on all the time. Indeed it's moving wallpaper, but who remembers wallpaper? So thanks for refreshing my memory :).
Mind you, these are the only two programmes I can remember watching. And maybe Going For Gold, which may not get a Metropolitan article devoted to it, although I will no doubt shoehorn in somewhere that the theme was written by Hans Zimmer
I think J.R. survived. Wasn’t the question “Who shot J.R.?”. But then wasn’t it all dreamt by Bobby? And wasn’t he the Man from Atlantis?
Thanks, Jon - edited the piece now

Oh bum. I even went so far as to look up who *had* shot him (not the Poison Dwarf, apparently) and still managed to type that wrongly.

Both of these shows were absolutely instrumental to my teenage identity.
In the case of Big Night Out, really quite remarkably so, given I lost my virginity while the New Year's Eve show played in the background!
I don’t recall that act being on Novelty Island ;)
I wouldn't let it lie!
Well, we now know what’s on the end of the stick
You terrible man, terrible man, terrible, terrible terrible man.
