Hope someone who is as old as me can help.
I have been trying all day to think about a TV series which was on TV many years ago. Try as I might I just can't think what it was called.
I am pretty sure the couple were on their honeymoon and they spent it wandering all over the Holy Land.
Can anyone remember what it was called please?

Hi Clancy, could it by any chance be Duty Free, with Keith Barron & Gwen Taylor ??? many thanks for your birthday Greetings

[Clancy]

You are welcome Mal

No, I think I would know it if I heard it but it wasn't them. It was so long ago that I think it would have been on the BBC.

It sure does Jimmy c Spark,great TV for children growing up in the fifties and to think we got to play outside in complete safety as well.

Thanks Ollie !!! ...that was it...Journey of a Lifetime. I honestly thought it was much earlier than that but it was in 1961 and I think it said on ITV.

John Bonney, I don't know why I didn't associate him with the programme when I was thinking so much about it. I used to love him in all the shows he was in. Thanks again Ollie :-)

TL...that is a fantastic site, mainly American shows but we watched so many of them. Good that you can click on them and see the cast and some trivia.
Thanks TL

Those family programmes where the men always wore tights (Robin Hood, William Tell, Ivanhoe, The Buccaneers, Sir Lancelot etc) were my favourites too, tessmop .

For years I had a 'real thing' for Richard Greene and Conrad Phillips - must have only been around 10-14yrs old, but I didn't half go for those 'older men' with great thighs .

Ollie, I felt the same about Richard Greene and (I can't remember how!) got an original signed picture from him. I carried it in my school satchel until it was found and I was given rather a bad time over it you know, I think I still have it somewhere?
