These questions were written by archersangel.

1. What is the first TV show you remember watching?
Early 70s, so probably Sesame Street, or the Australian kids show Play School... I have clearer memories of the Super Flying Fun Show on weekday mornings, a bit later in the 70s - hosted by Miss Marilyn & featuring Marty & Emu, a prizewheel segment & the occasional band who could be convinced to get up that early - most memorably Mother Goose

2. What is the first “grown up” TV show you watched?
The first one that springs to mind is a BBC drama called When The Boat Comes In set in northern England in the 1920s-30s. To this day, I've never seen the final episode, though I know how the show ended...

3. What is the first TV show you watched from the start to finish when it aired live (i.e., not via reruns)?
Well, as explained above, not When The Boat Comes In!! I'm old enough to have seen all episodes of Fawlty Towers when it first aired

4. What is the oldest TV show you’ve watched?
Probably Dr Who episodes from the early 1960s...

5. What is one TV show you will stop and watch if you come across it on TV, even though you've seen every episode at least 20 times?
So many... Monty Python's Flying Circus, Mad About You, QI, 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Boston Legal, MASH...
